About Countryside
Countryside (~6,000) is a small city hugging the Stevenson Expressway (I-55) at La Grange Road, built around the I-55/I-294 interchange. It's more commercial than residential — big-box retail, auto dealers, and office parks line the highway, with pockets of postwar ranches and apartments behind them.
