Holding on to history
Southeast Joliet is home to the East Side National Register Historic District. This section of the larger city, Joliet, earns this recognition because of the historic homes found within the area, including the Jacob Henry Mansion. Some of these properties feature Joliet limestone, reminiscent of the town’s origins within the quarry industry. Today, residents continue to enjoy the benefits of living near the Des Plaines River and a bustling downtown. “Downtown is being revitalized. They have new restaurants popping up and many biking paths people can go on,” says Broker Susie Scheuber, with RE/MAX Ultimate Professionals, and longtime resident of the Will County area. Traveling to these hot spots is convenient because Interstate 80 and Routes 30 and 52 run throughout the community.
From classic to contemporary
The median home year is 1954, but many of the homes in Southeast Joliet can date as far back as the 1880s. Common home styles that grace Southeast Joliet’s tree-lined sidewalks are Colonial Revival, Bungalow and Craftsman. In the Historic District, some of these homes may also feature Georgian, Gothic Revival and Queen Anne styles. Each single-family home features a paved driveway and backyards big enough for a personal garden and shed; these properties hold a median list price of $165,000. This price is much cheaper than on the other side of the river. “For Joliet proper, you pay somewhere around the $260,000 to $270,000 mark; there are some that are in the $300,000s; it depends. The location is a major factor,” Scheuber says.
