Chicago is approximately a 60-minute drive with Bourbonnais & Kankakee approximately a 25-minute drive. Grant Park Community Unit School District 6 is highly rated among all Kankakee County school districts by Niche, and the district boasts an "A" grade for teachers and an outstanding 12:1 student-to-teacher ratio. More than just a home, this house provides a lifestyle of country living at its best.
