Preston Heights balances small-community ease with quick connections to big-city amenities. Residents enjoy everyday conveniences close by and fast access to major corridors, putting concerts at the grand Rialto Square Theatre and race weekends at Chicagoland Speedway within an easy drive. When it’s time to unplug, trails and fishing spots at the Rock Run Rookery Preserve deliver wildlife watching and peaceful water views right in the local outdoor rotation.
Education is a strong suit here. Elementary and middle school students attend Joliet Public Schools District 86, while high schoolers are served by Joliet Township High School District 204, home to comprehensive programs in academics, arts, and career pathways. For upskilling or degree programs close to home, Joliet Junior College offers respected workforce training and transfer options.
Commuters appreciate practical mobility: Pace Suburban Bus connects the area to nearby job centers, and the regional rail hub at the Joliet Gateway Center puts Metra service to Chicago within reach. Housing options trend toward attainable single-family homes and multi-unit choices, drawing first-time buyers and long-time residents alike who value space, parking, and a friendly, low-key pace of life.
