Located about 22 miles south of Chicago’s Loop, South Holland is a scenic village in Thornton Township. South Holland’s history dates back to the 1800s, when the area was first settled by immigrants from the Netherlands. Today, South Holland is regarded for its community values, quiet atmosphere, and natural beauty.
South Holland residents enjoy a broad range of recreational opportunities at many nearby parks, including Veterans Memorial Park, Gouwens Park, and Wampum Lake Woods. The Little Calumet River runs through the village as well, serving as a great fishing spot, as well as a scenic backdrop for hikes and picnics alike.
Although South Holland is largely residential, East 162nd Street is the village’s main commercial thoroughfare, boasting a slew of restaurants, shops, and services in the center of the community. Many of the apartments and houses available for rent in South Holland are within minutes of a major highway, including I-94 and I-294, making commuting from the village simple.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
