TRAILS AND PARK
One of the most unique features of our new construction neighborhood are the miles of trails fit for walking, biking, or jogging. These trails wind through the neighborhood along towering oaks and end at a 5-acre park. Timber Trails Park features a state-of-the-art jungle gym, a Little League baseball diamond, soccer field, pavilion and even bathrooms.
TRANSPORTATION
Timber Trails is the perfect location in Chicagoland. It is only 15 miles outside of Chicago and close to many expressways that lead to the city as well as to other suburban hubs. The nearby roads of Ogden Avenue, Route 83, I-294 and I-55 allow for an easy commute to just about anywhere in Chicagoland. The Metra BNSF Train Line is just a couple of miles north of TimberTrails in downtown Western Springs and runs regularly from Aurora to Chicago. The Pace Bus is another great option for city commuters, as it has its own lane on the expressway during rush hour. Lastly, having both Midway and O’Hare Airports close by makes business and personal travel so easy from Timber Trails.
