Country Glen offers a relaxed, residential pocket on the western side of Joliet, where quiet streets and well-kept yards meet everyday convenience. Commuters appreciate straightforward connections to major corridors, while weekend plans often center around nearby shopping and dining along Route 59 and Caton Farm Road. You’re minutes from the boutiques and restaurants of Plainfield and the riverfront amenities in Shorewood, plus cultural landmarks and employers across Will County.
Outdoorsy residents have plenty to explore. The Joliet Park District maintains playgrounds, sports fields, and year-round programming, and the forested trails at Rock Run Preserve deliver a quick nature escape for jogging, biking, or birding. For live entertainment, the historic Rialto Square Theatre hosts touring acts and community performances, while the Joliet Public Library supports learners of all ages with modern spaces, events, and tech resources.
Schools are a strong draw.
