Chicago’s south suburbs may be the best kept secret around! From its core of Homewood and Flossmoor to surrounding communities like Olympia Fields and Park Forest, to growing communities like Frankfort and Mokena and extending to the city of Joliet, approximately 12,000 Jewish people call the south and southwest suburbs home.
With four well-established synagogues, a full-service Jewish Community Center, two Jewish preschools, two historically Jewish country clubs and much more, the south suburbs are a wonderful place to live and raise a family.
The south suburbs provide easy access to downtown Chicago via the I-57 and the Dan Ryan, as well as round-the-clock express rail service via METRA. The METRA Electric Line is conveniently located with stops in Hyde Park, the Museum Campus, McCormick Place and two Michigan Avenue stops: Jackson/Van Buren and Randolph/South Water. No train line provides better service to downtown Chicago!
The Homewood-Flossmoor area is consistently ranked by Chicago’s media outlets as one of the “hot spots” and “best deals” in housing in all of Chicagoland. Friendly neighborhoods provide the best in quality housing, ranging from spacious rentals to luxurious homes nestled along tree-lined streets. For those seeking quality housing, at affordable prices, there is no better place to live than in Homewood and Flossmoor.
