Just northeast of Frankfort
About 30 miles south of downtown Chicago, with access to Interstates 80 and 57, Frankfort Square is about 4 miles northeast of the suburb of Frankfort. “Frankfort Square is part of Franklin, but it’s a separate entity,” says Marge Cahill, a real estate broker with @properties, with about 25 years of real estate experience. “It provides more of a collection of starter homes than what you would find in Frankfort, and the homes are a bit smaller.” The suburb of Frankfort is on many lists as one of the best suburbs south of Chicago. The attraction of Frankfort Square is the school chain that feeds into an A-plus high school.
Frankfort Square is recognized as one of the best places to live in Illinois.

I have lived in Frankfort Square my whole life, it's always been a safe neighborhood, everyone is so friendly. We have nice Community things like parks, roads, sports fields, and schools. I wish to see activities set out by the community to bring us all together, for everyone to know each other well and to see more kids outside playing.
