"The things that attracted us to Mettawa were the large lots (we dislike being 'on top of' our neighbors), quick access to major highways and the Metra, and lots of open lands and forest preserves to enjoy. I grew up in Riverwoods and it's hard to get used to more urban living when you're used to being surrounded by nature." – Lisa

Commercial Development
Since 1994, some commercial development has occurred near the intersection of Illinois Route 60 and Interstate Tollway 94. Development at this intersection provides significant revenue to the Village, which enables the Village Board to better protect and preserve the rural character and quality of life or the residents who live here.
