Laid-back, suburban living south of Chicago
Located in Chicago's southern suburbs, the Village of Matteson is "A Home for Business, A Heart for Family." West Matteson comprises the parts of the village to the west of Interstate 57 and is almost entirely residential. "I would describe West Matteson as a family-friendly area that feels safe for kids. It has a very relaxed, suburban feel," says Margaret Banks, an area local and broker with Home Sellers Realty. West Matteson keeps amenities nearby, with several schools in the neighborhood and proximity to shopping and dining along Lincoln Highway. West Matteson is also close to nature, with farmland to the south and nearby forest preserves located within a mile of most homes. "I like how nice and quiet it is here. It's not the country but not the city, just a perfect mix of both," Banks says.
Chicago is only a 35-minute drive north from West Matteson on Interstate 57.
West Matteson has inviting parks, nearby forest preserves and award-winning schools.

Getting around the greater Matteson area
With Interstate 57 running just east of the neighborhood, residents can drive the 30 miles to Chicago in just 35 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic. "West Matteson is outside the hubbub but still smack dab in the loop," Banks says. She explains that residents without cars can access their local Metra train line at 211th Street and Lincoln Highway or take the Pace bus to travel along Matteson's main thoroughfares. Even though West Matteson is right next to rural areas, a trip to the city via train only takes about 45 minutes. "And that's including stops," Banks says. To find the closest airport, residents can head about 23 miles north along Cicero Avenue to get to Chicago Midway International. For the closest hospital, residents can find Franciscan Health about three miles east in Olympia Fields.
