Modern Calumet City, IL

Boasting a restored city hall, a major mall within the Southland region, a state-of- the-art library, and a network of public and parochial schools, Calumet City is one of the larger of Chicago's southern suburbs.

Celebrating over 115 years as a community, the city remains strong in its cultural diversity and heritage while assuming a progressive stance for the future. Revitalization and growth are encouraged in Calumet, evidenced by the area's status as an enterprise zone and the availability of tax increment financing. The city is ideally Iocated just 25 minutes south of the Loop and minutes from the Calumet Expressway and Interstates 57 and 80. Although the location is convenient for commuters, thousands of jobs are available right in the community. The city's park district manages lush recreational areas and a wide variety of facilities as well as programs for residents of all ages. Other attractions include the Sand Ridge Forest Preserve, the River Oaks Golf Course, and the River Oaks Shopping Center with its array of specialty shops and dining establishments.
