Just south of quaint downtown Lombard

South of Roosevelt Road, South Lombard is the more suburban and retail side of the village of Lombard. South Lombard’s residential streets gather around its local parks, but residents are just a short drive from major shopping centers and retail chains along Butterfield Road on the southern portion of the neighborhood. Because South Lombard is still part of the village, people can also enjoy downtown Lombard’s local businesses and charm. “Everyone kind of knows each other,” says Realtor Michelle Vykruta with Keller Williams Premiere Properties and Lombard resident. “You walk into one of your favorite restaurants, and they know what your favorite wine is and have it ready for you when you sit down.” South Lombard might feel like a standard suburb, but with the culture of Lombard and the village’s offerings, people can take the time to get to know their neighbors and form a community. “The town has a block party wagon that you can rent at any time for any event, free of charge,” Vykruta says.

New Brazilian restaurants and the old-fashioned Dairy Queen

In South Lombard, residents can enjoy chains and local restaurants along Roosevelt and Butterfield Roads. Chama Gaúcha Brazilian Steakhouse offers southern Brazilian cuisine in an elegant setting. Labriola Bakery Café serves pizzas and burgers on their covered patio lit with string lights. People can spend the weekends at the local mall—Yorktown Center. Closer to downtown, residents can find more local favorites, like Babcock’s Grove House, which boasts favorites like their pulled pork pie. “We also have an old Dairy Queen everyone goes to,” Vykruta says. “We have the original old-fashioned neon sign. It’s the little things like that that make all the difference.” For groceries, South Lombard features a Mariano’s and Jewel-Osco along Roosevelt Road.

Walking trails and fishing at Four Seasons Park

Many residents are within walking distance of South Lombard’s two community parks—Four Seasons Park and Knolls Park. At Four Seasons Park, people can stretch their legs along the half-mile walking trail or play on the fields and courts. People can boat and fish in the pond at the park’s center. In the winter, people gather in the park for sledding. Knolls Park features open fields and a sand volleyball court or stroll along the pathways. Just south of the community, Lyman Woods Nature Center and Preserve offers 150 acres of trails and protected nature, where people can spot local fauna like great horned owls. The nature center has a butterfly garden and grows native plants on the roof.

Split-levels and Colonial Revivals throughout South Lombard

South Lombard is a collection of different subdivisions and communities offering various housing types and styles. Most subdivisions showcase streets lined with siding split-levels, Colonial Revivals or brick ranches. When walking to the park, residents get some shade from the trees planted along the sidewalks. Many people plant small flower gardens in their front yards to add some personality and color to their properties. Single-family homes around South Lombard typically list between $400,000 and $575,000, but new construction can price even higher depending on the size and location. Closer to the mall, brick condo complexes featuring balconies list between $175,000 and $275,000.

Lilac Time each May in Lombard

While some communities celebrate cherry blossom season, Lombard has Lilac Time. Every May, Liliacia Park bursts with lilac blooms. An organization tracks the flowers as they bud to help predict peak bloom for residents and visitors. For two weeks, the village celebrates with a festival featuring local businesses and live music to a parade as the grand finale on the final Sunday. "Around Thursday, people will start putting out their lawn chairs to stake out their spot for the parade," says broker Jodee Baker with Platinum Partners Realtors and lifelong Lombard resident. Saturday evenings throughout the summer, Cruise Nights and Summer Concerts draw people to downtown Lombard. Vintage cars fill the streets, where people can take in the different models and features. People set up their lawn chairs for the free concert from a local band. Downtown Lombard always has something going on, especially with so many local businesses. “They have wine tastings, and you go from business to business downtown to taste different wines,” Vykruta says. “Everyone participates.”
