About the community
Established, value-minded living in central-west Orland Park.
Wedgewood is an established single-family and townhome neighborhood in central-west Orland Park, east of 82nd Avenue and north of 143rd Street, built out from roughly the mid-1970s through the early-to-mid 1990s. Its streets carry mature trees and a settled, lived-in character rather than new-construction uniformity, and the homes skew midsize and practical. The draw is an attainable-to-mid price point for Orland Park, in a location that keeps the mall, expressways, Metra, and schools all within a tight radius. This is the Orland Park Wedgewood, distinct from the Wedgewood community in Crystal Lake.

What it’s actually like to live here
Wedgewood appeals to buyers who want an established, walkable Orland Park address without paying newer-construction premiums. The homes are midsize and practical, the streets are lined with mature landscaping, and the layout with sidewalks, street lights, and park space supports the kind of low-key, family-and-empty-nester mix that defines much of Orland Park's older core. Its position near 82nd Avenue and 143rd Street puts residents within a short drive of the village's retail spine, so errands, dining, and the Metra SouthWest Service line to downtown Chicago are all close at hand.
The honest tradeoffs are the ones common to any 1970s-through-1990s subdivision. Homes here are more likely to have original systems, kitchens, or baths unless a prior owner updated them, so buyers should budget for cosmetic-to-mechanical refreshes and read inspection reports carefully. Lot sizes and floor plans reflect the era they were built in rather than today's open-concept expectations. The mix of detached homes and townhomes also means two different ownership experiences under one neighborhood name, so confirm whether a given home carries dues.
For value-focused buyers, that is often the point. Wedgewood tends to offer more finished square footage and established-neighborhood convenience per dollar than Orland Park's newer subdivisions, in a location that keeps the mall, expressways, Metra, and schools all within a tight radius. It rewards buyers who prioritize location and space over turnkey newness and who are comfortable putting their own stamp on a solid, well-built older home.
The questions buyers actually ask
Wedgewood FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Wedgewood. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- How much is the HOA?
- townhomes and condos are $250 per month.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Whether Wedgewood carries dues depends on the home. Many detached single-family homes have no mandatory association, while townhome sections carry monthly dues reported in roughly the $240 to $265 range that typically fund exterior and common-area maintenance. Confirm the dues and exactly what they cover for the specific property.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $8,000 – $13,000 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?
- 30 to 60 days from accepted offer to keys. Cash deals can close in two weeks. Conventional financing is usually closer to 60.
- What do homes cost in Wedgewood, and how is the market right now?
- This Wedgewood is considered attainable-to-mid for the Orland Park market, with a mix of townhomes and larger detached homes. Because pricing and inventory move constantly, check the live Market snapshot on this page for current list prices, recent sales, and days on market rather than relying on a frozen number.
- Is there a homeowners association, and what are the dues?
- It depends on the home. Many detached single-family homes have no mandatory HOA, while townhome sections carry monthly dues reported in roughly the $240 to $265 range. Always confirm the dues and exactly what they cover for the specific property, since inclusions vary and are not fully documented publicly.
- What schools serve Wedgewood?
- The neighborhood is in Orland School District 135 for elementary and middle grades and Consolidated High School District 230, with Carl Sandburg High School serving the area. District 135 uses a tiered building model, so students attend different buildings by grade band. Confirm the exact schools for your address with District 135 and District 230.
- How old are the homes, and what should I watch for?
- Construction runs from roughly the mid-1970s into the early-to-mid 1990s. Expect mature landscaping and solid bones, but budget for potential updates to kitchens, baths, roofs, and HVAC depending on how much a prior owner has modernized. A thorough inspection is worthwhile.
- How is the commute to Chicago?
- Orland Park is served by Metra's SouthWest Service to Union Station, with the 143rd Street station closest to Wedgewood. Drivers use the La Grange Road (US 45) corridor and I-80 for regional access. Confirm exact walk or drive times from the specific home.
- Is this the same Wedgewood as the one in Crystal Lake?
- No. This is the Wedgewood subdivision in Orland Park in Cook County. There is a separate, unrelated Wedgewood community in Crystal Lake in McHenry County, so make sure any listing or record you are reading refers to the Orland Park neighborhood.
- Who is the real estate agent for Wedgewood?

Your local agent
Joe knows Wedgewood
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.
