The neighborhood
Lake Hills,
Steger.

The setting

Lake Hills is a low-maintenance townhome community where the trees do the decorating. Steger itself is a village in Will County with everyday conveniences, schools, and local restaurants along Chicago Road, while Chicago Heights, Park Forest, and Matteson are minutes away for shopping, dining, and services.
