Why Live in Manhattan

Manhattan, IL, is a village with a population of about 10,000, located at the farthest outpost of Metra’s SouthWest Service Line, marking it as a new frontier for Chicagoland expansion. Historically, it attracted Irish immigrants in the 19th century due to canal and railroad construction. Today, Manhattan retains a small-town feel with a country atmosphere, while experiencing growth through new developments and businesses. The village is part of the highly rated Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210, offering excellent education without the congestion found in other parts of the district. Manhattan School District No. 114 serves prekindergarten through eighth grade and recently opened a new junior high school. Housing includes ranch-style homes, bungalows, Cape Cods, and new traditional duplexes and single-family homes, with subdivisions like Stonegate actively developing. Local commerce features mom-and-pop shops along U.S. Route 52, complemented by franchises such as Dunkin Donuts and grocery stores like Berkot's Super Foods. Residents enjoy the Manhattan Irish Fest, which includes a 5k run, rugby games, craft fairs, and performances by Irish dancers. Recreational options include Central Park, with amenities like a fishing pond, splash pad, and skating rink, and links to the 22-mile Wauponsee Glacial Trail. Commuting to Chicago is convenient via Metra’s SouthWest Service line, with travel times under an hour and a half. Crime rates in Manhattan are safer than the national average, with property crimes decreasing and crimes against people rising slowly. The village is also mindful of tornado risks, with regular siren tests conducted by Will County.
