Why Live in Kankakee

Kankakee, Illinois, located 60 miles south of downtown Chicago, offers a quieter lifestyle compared to the bustling city and its suburbs. With a population of just over 24,000, Kankakee is known for its access to the Kankakee River and numerous parks, including over a dozen riverfront parks with boat launch access. The Kankakee Valley Park District operates more than 30 parks, featuring amenities like the Ice Valley Centre Ice Arena, pickleball and basketball courts, and River Run Dog Park. The Riverview Historic District showcases homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s, including two Frank Lloyd Wright-designed houses. Unlike other historic districts, Riverview does not enforce strict renovation rules, encouraging residents to maintain their homes with care. Downtown Kankakee features older buildings, with the Executive Center housing offices and a branch of the Kankakee Public Library.
