Caring neighbors and nearby restaurants
A few miles south of the Little Calumet River is the suburban community of Midlothian. Once known as a mere milk stop along the railway for local farmers, the village is now renowned for much more. It is home to the trails of Midlothian Meadows and a hub of dining options sitting on the west end. However, what draws most homeowners is its sense of togetherness, made possible by caring neighbors. Realtor Jacquelyn Jenke first moved into Midlothian to buy and flip a house but stayed because of the residents. “The house was vacant for two years, but the neighbors took care of it. Neighbors come over and introduce themselves and ask how they can support you,” shares Jenke. “We take care of each other and are a welcoming and accepting community. You don’t get that everywhere, but you’ll find it here.”
Midlothian is a village located just a few miles from the Calumet River.

The homes of Midlothian
When Jenke moved into Midlothian, neighbors shared some history about the village. “I walked down the block with my cat, and neighbors would join me and tell me about the generations of people who’ve lived here for 40 or 50 years,” says Jenke, referring to the folklore of the subdivision’s origins. Mr. Jolly established the community in the 1960s and created a program allowing veteran homeowners to receive free maintenance on the exterior of their property for the life of the home. The residents stay true to the tradition. “That’s why they were taking care of my home while it was empty. It’s really amazing.” This sense of home pride and comradery is also showcased along its residential streets, which are kept neat and clean. Street parking is an option, but most residents use their driveways, allowing for leisurely strolls since many side streets offer no sidewalks. Its homes were built during the mid-to-late 20th century and take the form of ranch, split-level and Cape Cod styles, alongside condos from the same period sprinkled throughout. These range in price from $100,000 to $400,000, depending on size and condition.
