What Makes Countryside Unique?

If Chicago is the city that works, then Countryside's motto reflects the same Midwestern spirit "Get it down in Countryside - Chicago's Western Gateway." Established in 1960, Countryside's strong business community and sales tax base helps to provide a full range of quality city services without burdening residents with a municipal real estate tax. A friendly town, Countryside works hard to offer its citizens, both young and old, everything they need - a great parks and recreation organization, excellent police and fire departments and award winning schools. There is even a free snow removal program for senior citizens.
