Named for an ancient borough in Scotland, Midlothian is located 18 miles S of the Loop and offers residents a sparse suburban feel. Home to the historic Midlothian Country Club, this culturally diverse community is ideal for families and young professional who value green space. In The Midlothian Meadows Forest Preserve, there is a 3.1-mile biking / hiking trail through the woodlands, which connects by a foot path to other trails in the Tinley Creek Division of the Cook County Forest Preserve District.
Conveniently located in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, and central to the city and communities north, west, east and south, commuters can easily access Interstates 294, 57 and 80, or take advantage of fast, direct transportation into and out of Chicago aboard METRA trains. Several PACE bus routes also serve Midlothian residents to get them quickly around town or to and from nearby communities.
