Sept. 24, 2010 - PRLog -- Tinley Park has been named the "Best Place in America to Raise a Family" by Business Week magazine.  The magazine analyzed 865 communities nationwide and found Tinley Park to be an outstanding community based on factors that include school ratings, student test scores, recreational areas, safety, accessibility and affordability.

Frank Bradley, President of Crana Homes, builder of hundreds of Tinley Park homes, was pleased but not surprised at the ranking.  "We've helped families establish themselves in this great community for over 15 years," he said.  "We're pleased that a respected and independent source like Business Week confirmed what we already knew, Tinley Park is a very nice place to raise a family," he said.  Communities rated were limited to towns that have at least 45,000 residents and a median income of between $40,000 and $125,000, according to the Business Week web site.

With two or three bedrooms and two and one-half baths, buyers get the best of everything.  These homes include a 9' first floor ceiling, master suite, and a look-out basement - with a walk-out basement as a  popular option.  The bathrooms have top quality materials, such as ceramic tile floor, ceramic tile walls in the tub and shower areas, cultured marble vanity top and a large polished plate-glass mirror.  Master suites have large walk-in closets and an option for a gorgeous cathedral ceiling.  The private bath can be upgraded with a whirlpool tub and a mirrored wall. If you need room to grow, a third bedroom is another popular option.  The full look-out basement, deck and attached dry-walled garage, are all standard in Brookside Meadows, and are among the many reasons why this community is special.
