Within the area's confines are local businesses, places to unwind downtown and two golf courses. “The village of Flossmoor was built around golf courses almost 100 years ago,” says Vickie Stevenson, a Realtor with eXp Realty with nearly ten years of experience. “In 2024, the village will be celebrating its 100th anniversary.”
Flossmoor, IL was celebrating their 100-year anniversary at their St Patrick Day Parade.

Downtown shops
The Shops on Sterling is a collection of unique boutiques and locally owned stores across from the Metra station. “It started as a large real estate office, then was sectioned off for individual businesses to open,” Stevenson says. For the vinyl record lover, that format is alive and well at Conservatory Vintage & Vinyl with rare, pre-owned and new vinyl records. There’s also midcentury modern furniture and home décor. The Bistro on Sterling has indoor and outdoor seating during warm weather to enjoy their daily specials. It’s a popular place to be, so reservations are strongly suggested. At the station, a portion was renovated to become the Flossmoor Station Restaurant & Brewery, open for lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch.
The Flossmoor Station Brewery in Flossmoor was awarded the Best Brewery in Chicago.

The members-only course has four par-5 and ten par-4 holes among the 18. Other outdoor recreation opportunities include Millennium Park, which has a splash pad open from early June through Labor Day. It’s available when temperatures are 70 degrees or warmer. Other amenities in the park include a walking path, memorial garden, soccer field and playground.
