Lemont Today
A walk down Lemont's historic downtown district takes you back to a time when all you needed could be found on main street and the town center was the hub of life. Dining, entertainment, shopping and housing all located in historic buildings. The architecture, rich in limestone and antique brick reflects Lemont's heritage as one of the first communities in Illinois.
The original neighborhood feeling of a walkable community and lifestyle is being preserved and revitalized in the downtown transformation. Quaint, pedestrian-friendly walkways will connect buildings dating back to the early 1800's with new retail, office and residential spaces all recreated in Lemont's distinct architectural style and character.
Located less than 30 miles from Chicago, Lemont is perfectly suited for both suburban and city employment. The new transit system already offers easy commuting to downtown Chicago and access to most of the suburban expressways are just minutes away. The train depot will be connected to all areas of downtown Lemont by walkways and landscaping all maintaining the endearing quality of historic Lemont.
We welcome you to visit and see for yourself what respect for the past and responsibility for the future can truly be. Live…Love…Lemont and have the best of both worlds.
