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.

Lake of the Woods and other Mahomet parks
On the north side of Interstate 74, Lake of the Woods Park is part of the Champaign County Forest Preserve District and totals over 900 acres. “I grew up in the area and went to this park on field trips. Every time I go, it’s a new experience,” Patterson says. “It’s a phenomenal asset to the community.” Activities include boating, fishing, cross-country skiing and sledding. The Museum of the Grand Prairie, a botanical garden and a golf course are other attractions surrounding the lake. The Sangamon River flows by Lake of the Woods and River Bend Forest Preserve, totaling 300 acres south of town. Barber Park is on Mahomet’s east side, with a splash pad, an amphitheater with occasional summer concerts and lots of space for soccer and football games.
