Small town charm
Sitting on the border of the windy city is the village of Alsip. While it does not offer large amusement parks or shopping centers, it does have a small town charm. The town includes some lovely parks and nature areas for walking, biking and just enjoying an afternoon picnic. When you want to explore the city of Chicago and all of the large attractions it has to offer, there are bus stops or the express train, the Metra, located throughout the area. So enjoy playing in the big city during the day but sleep peacefully at night in the village of Alsip.
