The growing community of Manhattan is an excellent place to live, work and play. The greater Chicago area offers an endless list of employment, recreation and entertainment opportunities for people of all ages to enjoy. Furthermore, the city’s inclusion into Will County, one of the fastest growing counties in the entire country, affords residents additional opportunities to experience all the amenities this Midwestern region has to offer.
Sports are king in the Midwest and Chicago has some of the most recognizable teams in their respective sporting leagues. The Chicago White Sox, Cubs, Bears, Bulls and Blackhawks have fan followings in cities across the country, if not the world, and all play home games in some of the most unique and tradition-rich stadiums in the country. The future addition of the Metra to the town of Manhattan will conveniently link Manhattan and surrounding residents to each of these stadiums in less than an hour’s ride. The rail system is popular amongst locals commuting to and from work as well.
Back home, Manhattan has a fair share of restaurants, specialty shops, sidewalk cafes, delis and other privately-owned establishments to satisfy the desires of residents and visitors alike. Mouth watering ribs, juicy steaks and select fish can be found in any of the local eateries while a vast selection of pubs, saloons, neighborhood bars and clubs provide entertainment for those seeking a fun night on the town. Neighboring communities are home to several regional museums, theatres and performance halls and serve to compliment the world-renowned cultural center found downtown Chicago.
Overall, nothing seems to be more than an hour away for Manhattan residents. So, whether you are an outdoor enthusiast, a sports fan, an art history buff, an urbanite, or even someone who enjoys the peace and tranquility of a rural sunset, this city is more than capable of satisfying your needs.
