    Lockport Homes for Sale

    Lockport Real Estate is Steeped in History

    You can’t ignore history while you are shopping homes for sale in Lockport IL. It’s always fun to write about towns with a rich history like Lockport IL. Lockport Illinois was listed on the National Registry of Historic Places in May of 1975. The town was founded in 1853 however, the famous Illinois Michigan Canal Commissioners named the would be town in 1837.  In fact Lockport Illinois owes its rapid early growth to the development of the Illinois and Michigan Canal, which linked the Great Lakes to the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers. Grain trade dominated the early economy and the 1858 arrival of the Chicago and Alton Railroad only enhanced the city’s ability to distribute grain.

    After many ups and downs in 1911 Texaco choose Lockport to build one of it’s refineries because of the towns access to railroads and because of commuter access to Chicago and Joliet. 

    Even though most of the original companies have either left the area or have long gone out of business Lockport IL remains a vibrant community but it is now more focused on history rather than commodity transportation.

    Let’s Talk About Lockport Real Estate

    There maybe no other town in the south burbs with a more diverse home inventory. The downtown is set rather low and the residential streets gain in elevation as you head east so the streets have a ton of character. There are quite a few historic homes in the streets bordering the downtown area. Those areas were neglected as the town expanded east however in the last 15 years or so they have begun to gentrify.

    There are plenty of affordable starter homes for sale in Lockport both old and new. You can find affordable older homes near downtown but there are newer subdivisions nearer to the eastern border that have very affordable new homes and townhomes.

    Broken Arrow golf course is one of the most unique housing developments in the area. As described in the name its an 27 hole golf course with a full service restaurant, bar and banquet facility. The uniqueness begins when you begin to look at the housing developments adjacent to the golf course. There are subdivisions filled with very affordable homes and townhomes right next to subdivisions with semi custom 2000 – 3000 sq/ft single family homes right next full blown executive custom home sites. The town is filled with homes to fit any budget. 

    The bottom line is when you’re looking for Lockport homes for sale you will most certainly find what you’re looking for.

    Where Is The Shopping In Lockport

With easy access to 355 you are minutes away from the Promenade in Bolingbrook.

    What The Heck Do We Do In Our Free Time?

It is consistently ranked in the top 20 restaurants in the entire Chicagoland area.

There is also off track betting and a pretty awesome country bar called the Iron Horse Lockport Bar and Grill east of downtown on 159th St.
