Residential bliss near a thriving village in suburban Chicagoland
Northeast Lemont blends contemporary suburban appeal with the charm of village life. Neighboring the thriving downtown area means residents are a short bike ride away from independent shops, local bars and the Metra train station, while life at home happens along quiet residential streets. But if residents want to kick things up a notch, ziplining, rock climbing and other thrills are available at a nearby adventure park. “It's kind of a bedroom community, but it's got that small-town feel to it, too,” says Jeff Arney, a Realtor with Keller Williams Infinity. Arney has lived in the suburban Chicago area for over a decade and sells homes in Lemont and neighboring areas.

Many of Lemont’s businesses are localized around Main Street and State Street. “There’s a lot of mom-and-pop shops out there; you won’t see as many big box stores,” Arney says.
