Inland Real Estate Group started in 1968 when four Chicago Public School teachers wanted to build something that would last, and now the company's been around more than fifty years, always holding close to the values of service, integrity, and expertise, which anyone can see in how they work. You'll find the headquarters at 2901 Butterfield Road, Oak Brook, Illinois, where they run a whole group of companies like Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation, Inland Residential Real Estate Services LLC, and Inland Property Tax Services, LLC, and they all work together to handle many things, whether it's investments, management, leasing, property tax services, self-storage, development, or financing. The folks at Inland focus hard on ethics, treating investors and residents fairly, saying they put stockholders first, which probably comes from their beginning as teachers who really cared for their community, and you can tell they believe in that because they invest their own money right along with everyone else.
Their staff, with decades of experience, work both on-site and in corporate offices, and they put a lot of effort into making their communities welcoming, pet-friendly, and safe, so all their properties usually allow dogs and cats and sometimes include things like fenced yards, private dog parks, and dog spas. Inland communities-like Riversong, Apres, The Strand, The Bend Arbordale, and Christopher Todd Communities on Happy Valley, just to name a few-tend to have 24-hour clubhouses, fitness centers, resort-style heated pools, and private outdoor spaces, and the apartments themselves often feature open-concept layouts, granite or stone counters, hardwood-style floors, stainless-steel appliances, in-home washers and dryers, keyless door entry, and motion sensors for security, so it's pretty modern and comfortable. They usually have online resident services and make things accessible for seniors, working hard to keep things maintained and safe, with staff always ready to help and amenities that make daily living easier.
On top of housing, Inland Real Estate Group also works with all sorts of real estate investment programs, like Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), private equity real estate, and 1031 exchanges, working with groups like Inland Private Capital Corporation, Inland Venture Partners, and InPoint Commercial Real Estate Income, and they've had over 1,600 investment programs and helped more than 490,000 investors. The company puts out educational resources like blogs and news, hoping to help people understand what goes into real estate and investing, and they do community work through active employee volunteer programs. Their management approach relies on detailed due diligence and clear market insights, so they keep a pretty close watch on value, operational efficiency, and investor income. Inland has owned and managed hundreds of millions of square feet in commercial property and has over 84,000 apartment units across 49 states, with skilled leaders who have built experience across every major real estate asset type. Inland wants everyone, no matter their background, to feel welcome; they use E-Verify, say they're an equal opportunity employer, and give a fair shot to all applicants, following strict drug-free and compliance rules.
People working at Inland Real Estate Group come from many backgrounds, but they all seem to be focused on community, ethics, and strong management, and over the years Inland's received several Better Business Bureau Torch Awards for Ethics, which shows up in how they've tried to make a positive mark on both investors and residents. Their focus stays on honest property management and steady improvement, not just for the investors, but for the residents who call Inland communities home. You'll see the Inland name on many different properties, private placements, and services, from luxury apartments to self-storage, always aiming for clear communication and good value, and they're a steady presence in the real estate world, carrying on the same practical, community-minded approach that started everything back in 1968.
