Kettering Estates Neighborhood Guide: Lemont, IL
If you’re looking for newer construction in Lemont with a family-friendly feel, Kettering Estates should be on your radar. As a full-time REALTOR® since 2011, here’s my guide to this M/I Homes community.
A Newer, Family-Oriented Community
Kettering Estates sits at 131st Street and Parker Road and is made up of new-construction homes built within roughly the last decade by M/I Homes. It’s a family-oriented neighborhood set a bit away from the hustle and bustle of town — great if you want newer construction with a quieter setting.
Homes and What to Expect
Expect the modern floor plans, finishes, and efficiency that come with newer M/I Homes construction. These homes appeal to families who want move-in-ready living without the maintenance surprises of an older house. I can share which models and lots are available and how they’re priced.
The Lemont Advantage
Lemont is an impressive area with a lot of luxury single-family homes and townhomes, plus an incredible downtown that keeps growing — restaurants, bars, entertainment, and a Metra station. Kettering Estates lets families enjoy that while staying tucked into a newer, quieter community.

Kettering Estates enjoys a quiet Lemont setting with convenient access to Lemont Road, State Street, and I-355 for reaching the wider suburbs. Metra’s Heritage Corridor line stops in Lemont for weekday commuters, with additional rail options a short drive away in neighboring towns.

Kettering Estates is served by Lemont-Bromberek Combined School District 113A for elementary and junior high, and by Lemont Township High School District 210. Lemont’s schools and tight-knit community atmosphere are a consistent draw for families.
