Just beyond 25 miles of Downtown Chicago rest a tree-filled village, surrounded by Norman Rockwell-era scenes, known as Hazel Crest, Illinois.

Hazel Crest is bordered by the suburbs: Markham, Harvey, East Hazel Crest, Homewood, Flossmoor and Country Club Hills. Several modes of transportation such as METRA commuter trains, PACE buses, Interstates 57 & 80 and Tri-State Tollway 294, provide easy access to this neighborly community.

Incorporated in 1912, many of the families of the early residents still reside in the village. An integrated community, responsible for significant developments that have occurred in the village because residents continually join together for common goals.

Major employers in the village include: Mi-Jack, Advocate South Suburban (one of the state’s largest hospital systems), Heniff, Gillions and Walgreens.

Hazel Crest is a preferred place to live and truly a desired place to work.
