Expressway expansion expected to cut down commute time
Keeneyville’s proximity to the Chicago expressway system is one of the primary reasons commuters move to the area. The neighborhood is about 33 miles northwest of Downtown Chicago via Interstate 290.

For commuters who prefer public transit, the Metra station in Roselle—just a 4-mile drive northeast—takes passengers to Downtown Chicago’s Union Station.
