On the Metra and Amtrak rail line, 25 miles southwest of Chicago, is the village of Homewood. “I have been in Homewood since seventh grade and have lived in three different places in the town,” says Ron Wexler, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty with over 40 years of real estate experience. “All the different places I’ve lived are within walking distance of each other.” Homewood is also known for its many parks and three country clubs, although only one is private.
Ravisloe Country Club was established in 1901 and is a great golf course.
The Homewood Metra station also has Amtrak trains that use the station also.
