About the community
A mixed-housing pocket on Orland Park's green western edge.
Long Run Creek is an established residential subdivision on the west side of Orland Park in Cook County, set near the Long Run Creek waterway that gives it its name, generally east of Will Cook Road and north of 143rd Street. It was built out largely through the late 1990s and 2000s and mixes detached single-family houses with townhomes and condominiums, so several kinds of buyer share the same sidewalks, streetlights, community pool, and creekside trails. The variety of housing types is the defining feature: first-time and downsizing buyers gravitate to the attached homes, while move-up families take the larger single-family plans. It reads as a settled, family-oriented enclave on Orland Park's growing western side rather than a new-construction tract.

What it’s actually like to live here
Long Run Creek suits buyers who want an established Orland Park address with more than one way in. Because the subdivision blends single-family houses with townhomes and condos, it draws a genuine mix of residents: first-time and downsizing owners in the attached sections and move-up families in the larger plans, all sharing a pool, sidewalks, and creekside trails. Homes date largely to the late 1990s and 2000s, so floor plans tend to feel current, with open kitchens, attached garages, and primary suites, without the maintenance surprises of much older housing stock.
The western Orland Park setting trades a little of the town-center bustle for a quieter, greener edge while keeping everyday convenience close. The La Grange Road corridor, Orland Square, restaurants, and medical offices are a short drive east, and the village's three Metra SouthWest Service stations make a downtown commute workable for those who drive to the platform and park. For families, the pairing of District 135 grade centers and Carl Sandburg High School is a steady draw.
The honest tradeoffs are worth naming. This is Cook County, so the property-tax load runs high relative to nearby Will County suburbs, and buyers should budget accordingly and factor in available homeowner and senior exemptions. The attached homes carry a monthly association assessment, so read the disclosure closely to see what it covers and whether reserves are healthy. And because it sits on the far west side, most errands and the expressway involve a drive rather than a walk. Confirm your specific school assignment, tax bill, and any HOA terms up front.
The questions buyers actually ask
Long Run Creek FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Long Run Creek. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Long Run Creek blends detached single-family houses with townhome and condominium sections. The attached-home sections carry a monthly association assessment that typically covers common-area and grounds maintenance, shared amenities, and master insurance on the attached buildings, while many detached homes carry little or no monthly dues. Confirm the exact assessment and inclusions for a specific home with the seller's disclosure and the managing agent.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $6,000 – $12,000 per year, depending on home size and value. Cook County assessor records are the source of truth. Happy to pull a specific bill on any home you're considering.
- What's the typical closing timeline?
- 45 to 75 days from accepted offer to keys. Cash deals can close in two weeks. Conventional financing is usually closer to 75.
- What kinds of homes are in Long Run Creek?
- A mix of detached single-family houses, townhomes, and condominiums, built largely from the mid-1990s through the mid-2000s. That range gives buyers several entry points, from lower-maintenance attached homes to larger single-family plans.
- Is there an HOA, and what does it cover?
- The attached-home sections carry a monthly association assessment that typically covers common-area and grounds maintenance, shared amenities, and master insurance on the attached buildings. Many detached single-family homes carry little or no monthly dues. Confirm the exact assessment and inclusions for a specific home with the seller's disclosure and the managing agent.
- What schools serve Long Run Creek?
- Elementary and middle grades fall under Orland School District 135, which uses a PreK-8 grade-center model, and high schoolers attend Carl Sandburg High School in Consolidated High School District 230. Because District 135 assigns grade centers street by street, confirm the exact assigned schools for a specific address with the district.
- How is the commute to downtown Chicago?
- Orland Park sits on Metra's SouthWest Service, with stations at 143rd, 153rd, and 179th Street. Most residents drive to a station and park, then ride to Chicago Union Station. Interstate 80 is the nearest expressway for drivers.
- Are property taxes high?
- Yes, as in most of Cook County. Effective residential rates in the Orland Park area generally run in roughly the 2.0 to 2.5 percent of market value range, and homeowner and senior exemptions can lower the effective rate for those who qualify. Your actual bill depends on assessed value, the local levy, and exemptions.
- What do homes cost, and how is the market right now?
- Prices and market pace shift with conditions, so rather than quote a figure that goes stale, check the live Market snapshot on this page.

Your local agent
Joe knows Long Run Creek
Most agents will list anything. I focus on the places I actually know, and the things that move value here don't show up in the MLS write-up: which streets and buildings hold demand, what the HOA or assessments really cover, how the comps read once you account for condition and location, and where buyers consistently want to be.
When you're ready to tour or list, you want someone who has read the last 50 closed comps in this specific market, not a national average, and can tell you what they actually mean for your price. That's how I work. Text or call any time, and I'll give you a real take, not a brochure.
