From little league parades to its Tuesday farmers market, Lemont boasts all the characteristics of small town charm, a primary reason the southwest suburban community entertains generation after generation as well as a surplus of new residents.
A community with roots in the mid-1800s, Lemont, but a 30-minute drive from Chicago's downtown, has evolved into one of the Southland's quiet gems despite the emerging bustle of modern life. Despite a plethora of new communities boosting the town's population, Lemont has maintained its cozy feel as much as its rolling terrain and waterway views.
