Richton Park is located in the southernmost reaches of Cook County where the village is advantaged by land availability for development, award-winning schools, and quality homes in affordable price ranges.

Richton Park is growing to the west, having crossed the barrier represented by I-57. Development includes new industry, new retail areas, and new housing for a growing population. A recently added I-57 interchange at Sauk Trail has enhanced access to the rest of the metropolitan market.
