The"Jewel of the South Suburbs"
North Frankfort is a residential area neatly divided by two major roadways. It’s a quiet area named in many publications as one of the more desirable suburbs of Chicago. Its historic downtown carries charming restaurants and many small businesses. Community engagement thrives as it hosts nearly two dozen events annually. All of this adds to North Frankfort's nickname, the “Jewel of the South Suburbs.”
Mixture of old and new, big and small
North Frankfort comes with a comforting mixture of housing styles. “You have a mix of Victorian-type homes and farm-style houses as well as contemporary,” Murphy says. “A mix of old and new construction.” Brick townhomes from the early 2000s are also common sightings. Mediterranean and Georgian-inspired stone mansions can be spotted around the neighborhood’s edges. More than half of residents have homes that lead to sidewalks. Exteriors carry manicured front lawns and attached garages. Prices come in a wide range. Townhouses can be priced at $350,000, then a large mansion can hit over $2 million.

Frankfort Fall Festival and dozens of other events
North Frankfort hosts several community events year-round. Walkers and runners can participate in the four 5k/10K runs. Frankfort Bluegrass Festival was awarded in 2019 by the International Bluegrass Association as “Event of the Year.” The two-day events include arts and crafts, workshops, and, of course, jamming tents. “Get Hooked on Frankfort” Fishing Derby is a day event in June that engages little ones in fishing while enjoying some of downtown Frankfort restaurant favorites. The Frankfort Fall Festival has been going on for over 55 years and draws 250,000 visitors around Labor Day weekend.
Historic downtown with simple dining
La Grange Road and Lincoln Highway hold most dining and retail establishments. “It’s more the charm of it. There are some nice restaurants within walking distance,” Murphy says. “Unique, small, family-owned store. A nice, charming area, not a lot of chains.” Enjoy a simple meal at KupAJoe Café. While sipping on morning brew, chow on an array of wraps, sandwiches, or salads. Dancing Marlin is on the north end of La Grange Road and specializes in steak and seafood. Sunday is a popular spot for them thanks to their “All you can Munch Brunch.” Get the grocery haul done at Jewel Osco and Mariano’s.
In the Frankfort Historic Downtown area, many stores set up nice outside displays for customers.

North Frankfort is located at the intersection of La Grange Road and Lincoln Highway.
Lincoln Highway and Route 45 centrally located
Those who must commute into the city can hop on the Metra at the Hickory Creek stop. From there, it’s about an hour's ride into the city. “Route 30 goes coast to coast; that’s Lincoln Highway,” Murphy says. “Route 45 goes to Wisconsin.” There, these routes connect to Interstates 80 and 57. Once on 57, it’s a 30-mile drive to the city.
