About Harvey
A south suburb of about 20,324 (2020 census) in Thornton Township, Harvey grew as a railroad and manufacturing town and retains an older housing stock of bungalows, ranches, and brick two-flats, plus mid-century apartment buildings. The vibe is affordable, with Dixie Highway/154th Street as the main commercial spine and a Metra Electric station anchoring the small downtown.
