Getting Around:

Our house is in a quiet Matteson neighborhood and is a great spot whether you’re visiting family, heading into the city, or just relaxing nearby. Here’s how to get around:



Driving



Downtown Chicago: about 30–45 minutes by car without heavy traffic (30–60+ minutes during rush hour). Take I‑57 North to I‑294/I‑80 depending on traffic, or take I‑57 to I‑94 via I‑294 for a direct route into the city.

Nearby suburbs & attractions: Tinley Park, Homewood, and University Park are all within a 10–20 minute drive. Chicago Heights and Olympia Fields are also nearby.

Parking: Street parking in our neighborhood is free and usually easy. We have driveway space for up to 6 cars — please park there when possible. If you need more space, on-street parking is allowed; just avoid blocking sidewalks or driveways.



Public transit



Metra: The nearest Metra Electric line station is the Matteson Station (on Front Street/near Lincoln Hwy) — about a 5–10 minute drive or 20–30 minute bike/ride away depending on exact location. From there, trains run north into Millennium Station in downtown Chicago; typical commute time is approximately 45–60 minutes.

Pace buses: There are Pace bus routes that serve Matteson and connect to nearby Metra stations and shopping centers. Check the Pace schedule for exact stops and times.

CTA: Direct CTA service into the neighborhood is limited; most guests transfer from Metra or use rideshares to reach CTA lines in the city.

Rideshare & taxis



Uber and Lyft operate in Matteson—pickups and drop-offs are easy in front of the house. Typical ride to downtown Chicago costs more than public transit but is convenient for late-night travel or when you have luggage.

Local taxi services are available but less common; rideshare is usually faster.

Grocery & essentials



Grocery stores nearby include Jewel-Osco (within 5–10 minutes by car), Walmart Supercenter (10–15 min), and local convenience stores for quick items.

Pharmacies: CVS and Walgreens locations are a short drive away.

If you prefer delivery, most national grocery and delivery providers service this area.



Airport travel



Chicago Midway (MDW): roughly 25–40 minutes by car depending on traffic.

O’Hare (ORD): roughly 50–75 minutes by car depending on traffic. Metra + CTA or rideshare options are available for airport transfers.



Local tips



Rush hour can add significantly to travel times (mornings and late afternoons). Allow extra time for trips into the city.

If you're commuting into downtown for events, consider the Metra from Matteson Station—it's often more predictable than driving.

If you’re returning late, rideshare is the easiest way home; we recommend saving the app on your phone before you arrive.
