Search Homewood Homes for Sale

Located in the south suburbs of Chicago, Homewood is known for its “upper class” communities and moderately wealthy population. Homes, town homes, and other real estate such as condominiums are popular here as the village of Homewood sits on the edge of Lake Chicago. Lake Chicago was formed by a retreating glacier much earlier than famous Lake Michigan.

Besides a solid education system and affluence, people scour the real estate listings for that perfect Homewood dwelling because of the village’s beauty and productive, yet calm environment. Homewood is one of the safest south suburbs in the area, and it offers numerous shopping opportunities (Northgate Shopping Center, Cherry Creek, and the West Homewood Commons) and services.

A joint park district with neighboring Flossmoor maintains a massive facility on the old Central & Ridge school grounds, a golf course, ice arena, two swimming pools, health and tennis clubs, and several gymnasiums, as well as numerous playgrounds and parks. In addition, a privately maintained wilderness and wildlife preserve, Izaak Walton Preserve, provides nature activities and fishing in the area, as well as a home for Homewood Little League Baseball.

Ask any realtor or real estate agent and they will tell you that the continued success of the town can also be attributed to the excellence of the police and fire departments and the public library. While real estate is fairly inexpensive compared to places like California and New York, Homewood is still considered wealthy, upper class by regional standards.
