Living near Lyons Township HS

The area, not just the school

Life in the La Grange and Western Springs area has a rhythm that is hard to find this close to a major city. Downtown La Grange is the kind of walkable village center buyers fall for on the first visit: a real movie theater, sidewalk cafes, local shops, and a farmers market, all just a few blocks from tree-lined residential streets. You can leave the car at home, grab a coffee, and walk to dinner, which is exactly the small-town feel a lot of families are chasing when they move out from the city.

The commute is the other half of the story. The BNSF Metra line runs right through the heart of town, and a ride to Chicago's Union Station typically lands in the 20 to 30 minute range depending on the train, so plenty of residents work downtown and still make it home for dinner. That express access to the Loop, paired with a genuine neighborhood feel, is the combination that keeps demand strong here year after year.

The housing stock is a big part of the appeal too. Much of central La Grange sits within a recognized historic district of more than a thousand buildings, most of them homes built between the 1870s and 1930, including a few designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. You will find everything from grand Victorians and center-entrance colonials to storybook bungalows, often on deep lots with mature trees. Western Springs adds its own quieter, leafy residential character just to the southwest.

The school

About Lyons Township High School

Lyons Township High School opened in 1888, and the original building still anchors what is now the North Campus in La Grange. The school held its first commencement in 1891 with a graduating class of seven. As the surrounding villages grew through the 20th century, so did LT: enrollment peaked at a record 5,220 during the 1971-72 school year. To handle that growth, the district opened a second campus, South Campus, about a mile to the southwest in neighboring Western Springs in 1956. The two-campus model has defined the school ever since.

Lyons Township earned an Exemplary rating on the 2024 Illinois Report Card and is consistently ranked among the top public high schools in Illinois. In the 2024-25 school year the school offered dozens of dual-credit classes and a deep slate of electives, and it holds a unique distinction as the only high school in Cook County included within College of DuPage District 502.

LT competes in the IHSA as the Lions and has captured at least 35 state championships across its history. The boys track and field program alone accounts for nine state titles, and the school has also won state crowns in baseball, basketball, cross country, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, volleyball, gymnastics, and water polo.
