Prairie Ridge's location is unique because it's incorporated into the village of New Lenox, which includes city services such as Lake Michigan water and a lower property tax rate compared to other near by communities. There are plenty of shopping and dining options close by, access to the Metra, and a few minutes away from both Woodruff and Broken Arrow Golf Course. There are many over sized home sites available including look-out and walk-out lots that all back up to open space. Other amenities include a 2.5 acre park site with a gazebo and playground, as well as a bike path that is linked to the Hadley Valley Forest Preserve bike paths. Prairie Ridge is located near Silver Cross Hospital, both I-80 & I-355 interchanges, and is in the Homer 33-C, Lockport High School District.
