Rapidly growing suburb of Champaign-Urbana
About 10 miles northwest of the Champaign/Urbana area is the growing suburban village of Mahomet, with a population of just over 9,000, according to the 2020 census. “The driver of the appeal to live in Mahomet is the school system,” says Jake Patterson, a broker assistant with Guth & Associates. “Families are buying a lot of the new houses in the city with young kids.” With the proximity of the Champaign/Urbana area and the University of Illinois, many people commute east on I-74 to work, but there are also local job opportunities. “Farm Credit Illinois is in Mahomet, and that’s a large local employer,” he adds. Mahomet-Seymour Community Unit School District also employs a few hundred. The population has grown by at least 30% every census since 1980.
Farm Credit Illinois is one of the largest employers of Mahomet.
Mahomet residents appreciate the convenience of being able to commute to Champaign.
