Palos Heights Housing
The dominant housing stock in Palos Heights was built between 1955 and 1985, a period that produced thousands of brick ranches, tri-level splits, and colonial two-stories across Navajo Gardens, Palos Pines, Westgate Valley, and College Highlands. These homes share a common set of original-era constraints: galley-style kitchens sealed off from living areas by load-bearing walls, primary baths still fitted with 1970s tile and tub-shower combos, and full unfinished basements that have never been touched since closing day.
Opening those closed-off floor plans, replacing outdated primary suites, and converting raw basements into livable square footage is work Bayern Builders has completed on block after block in Palos Heights. We know the brick-and-frame construction methods common to this era and we manage the permit process from submission through final inspection.

Old Palos · Navajo Gardens · 1939 to 1970
The oldest residential fabric in the city, these neighborhoods carry a mix of compact 1940s cape cods, 1950s brick ranches, and 1960s colonials with lot sizes ranging from 6,000 to more than 9,000 square feet. The most requested work here is full kitchen demolitions to open closed rear walls and primary bath gut-renovations that replace original cast-iron tubs with curbless tile showers.
Palos Pines · Austin View · Palos Gardens · 1957 to 1979
This cohort represents the largest share of Palos Heights housing stock, typified by 1,100 to 2,800 square foot brick or brick-and-frame homes on quarter-acre lots with large, unfinished lower levels. Open-concept kitchen expansions and basement finishing projects dominate here, often combined in a single phased engagement.
Country Squire Estates · Ishnala · Navajo Hills · 1956 to 1991
Homes in this cohort run 2,000 to 3,800 square feet on wooded, generously sized lots adjacent to the Palos Forest Preserves. Owners in Ishnala and Country Squire Estates typically commission full primary suite renovations, custom kitchen rebuilds with oversized islands, and outdoor living additions that connect the interior to the wooded rear yard.
