Appealing Crete, IL

The growing village of Crete claims a rich history that dates back to 1800s, only two decades after Illinois became a state. Over the many decades that followed, the community developed its distinctive identity and charm, evolving from patchwork farms, Iush woodland, serene lakes, and rural beauty. Because of Crete's appealing atmosphere and bucolic nature, increasing numbers of new residents and businesses have been drawn to the area. In recent decades, the village experienced an impressive growth rate. Residents and civic leaders are determined to implement a plan for quality growth and carefully controlled development that preserves the rural flavor and distinctive features of the village. Beautiful older homes harmonize with magnificent new construction throughout the village. Attractions include harness racing at Balmoral Park, the quaint downtown antique shops, and several popular golf courses that are close to home. Families can enjoy camping, hiking, cross-country skiing, lake fishing, and horseback riding. Major hospitals and institutions of higher education are only minutes from home. Four interstate highways and commuter train service are convenient to Crete.
