Deciding where to build your new home is a big decision. You’ll want to find a community that suits you now — and for years to come. Hartz Homes provides a look at why New Lenox has been the top choice to build a home for so many people.
Great Location
New Lenox has great access to highways, including both I-80 and I-355. Midway airport is only a 30-minute car ride from the center of New Lenox. O’hare is 45 minutes and Chicago’s Loop is only 47 minutes.
Rail service is also convenient. Two Metra commuter train lines provide New Lenox with more than 25 daily trains to Chicago. The Rock Island Line can take you to Chicago’s LaSalle Street Station, while the Southwest Service Line can take you to Union Station.
Award Winning Schools
For 12 consecutive years, New Lenox School District 122 (preschool through 8th grade) has received the Bright Star Award, given to school districts with the highest student performance at the lowest cost. Only 80 of the state’s 872 school districts received the award this past year.
What’s more, over the past 9 years, a full 85% of District 122 students have met or exceeded the State of Illinois Learning Standards.
High School District 210 in New Lenox has been awarded many Academic Excellence Awards. Based on the Prairie State Achievement Exam, the New Lenox high schools consistently score in the top 10% of all high schools in Illinois.
Abundant Parks and Recreation
The New Lenox Park District oversees 35 parks and an 18-hole championship golf course, The Sanctuary. In addition, the Park District offers over 300 educational programs, athletics, fitness, special events, sports leagues, travel excursions, and camp programs.
The Will County Forest Preserve District maintains the beautiful Old Plank Trail, a 21-mile path that curves its way through New Lenox. The District also has three preserves in New Lenox: Hickory Creek/Hickory Barrens Preserve, Potawatomi Woods Preserve, and Hadley Valley Preserve.
There is an array of volunteer youth sports options in New Lenox, including football, softball, soccer, and baseball.
State-of-the-Art Health Care
Silver Cross is a new, sophisticated, 289 private-bed hospital that is located at Route 6 and I-355 in New Lenox. The hospital is currently undergoing a 4-story hospital addition that will include a neo-natal intensive care unit and operating rooms for cardiovascular surgeries.
Solid Economic Environment
New Lenox is a vibrant and growing community. While 2020 has proven to be a challenging year in many ways, the COVID-19 pandemic, working from home, and remote learning did not slow construction in the Village of New Lenox! Building permits were issued for 116 new single-family homes and 8 townhomes in 2020. Approximately 1,000 new building permits have been issued in New Lenox since 2015.
45 new businesses have opened in the Village since January 1, 2020, including Joey’s Redhots, Mainstream Boutique, OrangeTheory Fitness, Smoothie King, and Teardrop at the Library
