Will County · Route 52, west of I-57
Manhattan
The fastest-growing town on the list, with a Metra stop of its own.
Manhattan has been adding subdivisions for two decades and is still adding them, which makes new construction a live option here rather than a waiting list.
It is also the end of the line, literally: the Metra SouthWest Service terminates at Manhattan, so commuters board an empty train. The Wauponsee Glacial Trail runs through town for anyone who measures a place by where they can ride.
High schoolers attend Lincoln-Way West, part of the Lincoln-Way district that anchors demand across this side of Will County.
