At Lexington, we know that homebuyers value rave-worthy homes in excellent locations. That’s why we build in areas where community life offers convenience, dining, shopping, and entertainment options all nearby! Metro on Main in Morton Grove is no exception. Morton Grove is a popular close-in north suburb with easy access to the city and tons to do right outside your door.
Today, we wanted to look at the many outdoor recreation options in this beautiful area! Residents love spending time outdoors—20 percent of Morton Grove land is open space with forest preserves for hiking and biking, a golf course, and local parks. Here are just a few highlights:
North Branch Trail. Love riding bikes, walking, or jogging? The North Branch Trail offers 20 miles of paved and unpaved trails that follow the north branch of the Chicago River. Ride around 12 miles north to GlenCoe to visit the Chicago Botanic Garden!
Harrer Park. Set on 20 acres of land, this beautiful park offers playgrounds, softball and baseball fields, tennis courts, a walking path, and a community swimming pool. The park hosts sporting events, and over the summer, visit for outdoor movies, concerts, and the 4th of July fireworks.
Austin Park. Just a few minutes east of Metro on Main, Austin Park offers a recently renovated park, including a beautiful new playground, pollinator garden, gaga ball, walking path and more.
Linne Woods. This gorgeous area is just a few minutes north of Metro on Main.
