Appealing Lynwood, IL

Appealing to many newcomers for the preservation of its semi-rural character, Lynwood provides a tranquil hometown within the Chicago Southland region that borders Indiana. This far south suburb dates back to the mid 20th century with farmland surrounded by rambling country homes. Development was slow during the first few decades until the construction of a reservoir ended concerns over flooding. Most Lynwood residents are pleased that the community has developed more slowly than expected. With the community gaining in popularity, civic planners are determined to maintain the small-town appeal and natural beauty that has been the hallmark of the village since its founding. The housing selection is dominated by multi-level, single-family homes in a variety of architectural styles. This relatively young Illinois community shares it eastern border with Indiana, serving as a bedroom community for commuters to both states. The Bishop Ford Expressway forms the western border, Interstate 80 is available to the north, and U.S. Highway 30 lies to the south.
