What's Been Said...
“One of the things I like most about living here is the convenience of local stores and our own deli. The deli’s food and soft drinks are a good choice.”

About the Area
Thanks to maintenance-free living and restaurant-style dining at Franciscan Village, you’ll have plenty of time to learn new skills, develop hobbies, improve your health, deepen your spiritual well being and much more.

But, what can you do outside of the community?

Since we are located only 27 miles from downtown Chicago, our residents are close enough to the big city to take advantage of its countless offerings. Making trips to the city even more convenient is the fact that the Metra station is only six minutes away from Franciscan Village. Does it get any easier than boarding a train and enjoying a casual ride into Chicago?

While Chicago offers just about everything, our residents have learned that historic Lemont has a number of great places to shop, restaurants to dine in, as well as more than a half dozen golf courses, 65 miles of hiking and biking and the Lemont Park District, which offers more than 500 recreational programs each year.

This attractions guide will help you learn more about the countless opportunities that await you. Many are just minutes away from your new home at Franciscan Village.
