A note about ZIP codes: 60477 and 60487 are commonly associated with Tinley Park mailing addresses, but ZIP-code boundaries are not the same as Village limits. Some properties with a Tinley Park mailing address may be outside the incorporated Village, and the Village includes territory in both Cook and Will Counties. Verify municipal boundaries, taxes, services and school assignments by exact address.

Six-Month Rolling Closed-Sale Market Snapshot

Tinley Park area · MRED closed-sale export supplied for this guide

This snapshot separates detached single-family homes from attached homes. Vacant land and multi-unit records are excluded. Only sales with a subdivision name in the export or an additional address-level match supported during research are included.

Market data disclaimer: We compile market snapshots using available closed-sale records and subdivision information. Occasionally, a listing arrives without a subdivision name—or with details that were never filled in by the listing agent. When we cannot confidently identify the neighborhood, that sale may be left out of that subdivision’s statistics. We can only work with the information that makes it into the system! We make every effort to keep this information accurate and current, but these figures are general market snapshots, not appraisals or guarantees of value.

Schools and education

School assignments in the Tinley Park area depend on the exact property address. The community is served by multiple elementary and high-school districts, so a Tinley Park mailing address does not automatically determine which schools serve a home. Families should verify current attendance boundaries and enrollment information directly with the appropriate district.

Elementary and middle schools

Several elementary districts serve portions of the Tinley Park area. Confirm the assigned district and school for the specific property rather than relying on a general town or ZIP-code search.
