Convenient, spacious suburb of Monee
The village of Monee, founded in 1853, is a close community with a small-town feel. Residents of Monee can enjoy a quiet, rural atmosphere with a degree of separation from the business found in Downtown Chicago, 40 miles to the north. “Monee is off the beaten path,” says local real estate agent Lindsay Badali with Century 21 Pride Realty. “And you can find properties with a lot more land than in surrounding neighborhoods, which is a big draw for homebuyers.” Monee locals also have convenient access to everyday necessities, including markets, big grocery stores within 5 miles, public schools and parks. With South Governors Highway (Illinois Route 50) cutting through the neighborhood and Interstate 57 nearby, Monee provides major thoroughfares to get into Chicago and other neighborhoods in Will County.
According to the most recent US Census Monee is home to just over 5000 residents.
