About the community
A mature 1970s pool-and-clubhouse condo community next to Moraine Valley.
The Timbers is an established attached-home community on the southwest side of Palos Hills in Cook County, built mostly from the mid-1970s. It is a low-rise community of condominium and townhome-style units on landscaped, tree-shaded grounds, directly adjacent to the Moraine Valley Community College campus and a short distance from Amos Alonzo Stagg High School. With a pool, a clubhouse, and one of the more attainable price points in the Palos area, it draws first-time buyers, downsizers, commuters, and anyone tied to the college or the nearby hospitals.

What it’s actually like to live here
The Timbers appeals to buyers who want to own in the Palos area without a single-family price tag or the maintenance load of a detached house. Because it is an association-managed attached-home community, the exterior upkeep, snow, and the shared pool and clubhouse are handled collectively, which makes it a practical fit for first-time buyers, downsizers, commuters, and people connected to Moraine Valley or the nearby hospitals and schools.
Day to day, the setting is quiet and mature: 1970s buildings on landscaped, tree-lined grounds, with the college campus and southwest-suburban forest-preserve greenery close by. Errands are easy along the surrounding arterials, the I-294 corridor is close for airport and metro trips, and both Stagg High School and the community college are within walking or a few minutes' drive.
The honest tradeoffs are the ones common to a well-located 1970s condo community. The buildings are roughly fifty years old, so individual units range from original to fully renovated and a buyer should read the inspection carefully on mechanicals and finishes. This is also association living, with a monthly assessment on top of the mortgage and taxes and rules worth reviewing, and Cook County's effective property tax rate in this part of the county is on the higher side, which affects the total monthly cost even when the purchase price is attainable.
The questions buyers actually ask
The Timbers FAQ

Your local agent
Joe knows The Timbers
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.
