Downtown or suburban living
Established homes and historic Stephen Street storefronts bring an air of nostalgia to the streets of Central Lemont. When Lemont’s first settlers were digging the Illinois and Michigan Canal, which runs through the center of town, workers struck a fine grade of limestone, which was then used in the construction of buildings in and around town, including Lemont’s Old Stone Church and the Chicago Water Tower. Today, downtown locals enjoy quiet residential streets just a few short blocks from local shops and restaurants, while residents in the new subdivisions outside of town get space and access.
The Des Plaines runs near the historic downtown Lemont which has great restaurants & shops.
Lemont homes come in a variety of architectural styles.

A Wooden Paddle and a Creamery
Wooden Paddle is not your typical pizza parlor. The Gettin' Figgy Wit It pizza has fig jam, prosciutto, fresh mozzarella and mascarpone. Wooden Paddle also has menu items ranging from lemongrass pork chops to poached pear burrata toast. Pollyanna Brewing Company is a nice spot to sip on a pint of craft beer while listening to live music. The Creamery on Illinois Street satisfies the cravings of local children (and their parents) with hand-scooped ice cream. When it’s time for a kitchen restock, locals can drive south on State Street to pick up some groceries at Jewel-Osco or Pete’s Fresh Market.
