Arbury Hills Home for Rent

Arbury Hills, a suburb in Mokena, Illinois, is located over 30 miles south of downtown Chicago and offers a blend of suburban living with access to natural habitats like the nearby Hickory Creek Preserve. The community is characterized by suburban blocks with wide streets, trimmed lawns, and a mix of ranch-style homes, including split- and bi-levels, dating from the 1960s to the 2000s. Some two-story homes with Colonial Revival and traditional features are also present. The area is served by highly rated schools such as Summit Hill Junior High School, Hilda Walker Intermediate School, Arbury Hills School, Dr. Julian Rogus School, and Lincoln-Way East High School, which anchor much of the community life. Local dining options include Fleckenstein’s Bakery for pastries and coffee, Stoney Point Grill for American comfort food, and Brothership Brewing for craft beers. Groceries are conveniently available at Mariano’s and Jewel-Osco. Recreational opportunities abound with Hecht Park offering a pond, playground, and sports amenities, while the expansive Hickory Creek Preserve provides trails for hiking, jogging, and winter sports. Indoor activities include go-karting at K1 Speed and virtual golfing at the 19th Hole. The community benefits from the Metra’s Hickory Creek commuter rail station for easy access to Chicago and Joliet, and proximity to Interstate 80 for car commuters. Nearby Frankfort hosts seasonal events like the Fall Festival and Fire & Ice Winter Social. Despite the planned closure of Arbury Hills School due to declining enrollment, the area remains a vibrant community with a low crime risk compared to the national average.
