New Lenox is a very safe area in the suburbs of Chicago. There are plenty things to do and places to eat in this area. The Commons is a very family friendly place to go around the holidays. They also hold events there year-round for kids. The school district is also a promising place and often hold fundraisers and small business pop-ups for their sporting events. I would recommend to anyone who was looking to live here that you will feel included and safe; overall having a wonderful lifestyle.
New Lenox is a great town! It is very family-friendly and safe. Although, it is definitely on the more boring side of towns. All a person can really do is get fast food or shop at Target. I would love to see New Lenox build more businesses where kids can go have fun and residents can find more jobs.
It’s a great community where everyone feels safe. There is a ton of dining options in New Lenox and the commons is full of activities ranging from movie nights in the summer to having bands play!
