Limestone, IL

Located along Route 17 about six miles west of Kankakee, Limestone offers a quiet, rural setting with plenty of open space. The surrounding township dates back to the 1850s, though the village itself officially incorporated in 2006 to help preserve its peaceful, small-town character. Today, around 1,500 residents enjoy a relaxed pace of life among spacious properties, quiet roads, and surrounding farmland. It is an appealing spot for people looking for extra elbow room and a close-knit neighborhood feel. A ten-minute drive east brings you directly into Kankakee for grocery runs, local restaurants, healthcare facilities, and quick connections to Interstate 57.
