The Road to Suburbia
“Come out to Park Forest where small-town friendships grow—and you still live so
close to a big city.” Advertisements like this one for a scientifically planned Chicago
suburb captured the lure of the suburbs for thousands of growing families in the
1950s. The publicity promised affordable housing, congenial neighbors, fresh air
and open spaces, good schools, and easy access to urban jobs and culture. Good
transportation was the lifeline of suburban growth a half century ago, and it con-
tinues to spur expansion today.

WHERE THE ’BURBS ARE
Park Forest was planned from its conception in
1945 to be a “complete community for middle-
income families with children.” The setting was
rural—amidst cornfields and forest preserves about
30 miles south of Chicago. But it was convenient to
commuter lines, like the Illinois Central (IC) Railroad,
and to major roads, such as Western Avenue.
SHARED PRIVACY
By 1952, develop-
ment in Park Forest,
Illinois had expanded
to include both low-
cost rental units and
single-family homes.
All the streets were
curved to slow traffic,
present a pleasing
sweep of space, and
give residents maxi-
mum privacy and
space for yards.

THE COMMUTER CRUSH
Men commuted to work on the IC
railroad, while their wives usually
stayed home to take care of the
children, who thrived in Park
Forest’s safe, wholesome family
environment.
THINKING CRITICALLY
THINKING CRITICALLY
1. Analyzing Patterns How did the availability of
transportation influence the creation and ongoing
development of Park Forest?
2. Creating a Database Pose a historical question
about a suburb near you. Collect statistics about
changes in population, living patterns, income, and
economic development in that suburb. Use those
statistics to create a database that will help answer
your questions.

SHOPPING CENTERS
Consumerism became a driving force
in the 1950s, and Park Forest kept
up with the trend. The central shop-
ping center served the community
well until the late 1960s. When
Interstate 57 was built, a mammoth
mall, built just off the highway,
caused the original shopping area to
decline. Park Forest is still struggling
to revive its central shopping area.
