Selling a Home in Lemont, Illinois: Why Professional Photography Matters

Lemont is a village of about 17,600 residents on a hillside above the Des Plaines River, with parts in Cook, DuPage and Will counties. Its historic downtown, river views and newer subdivisions give sellers a lot to show, and the listing photos are where buyers see it first.

Why Lemont? Settled in 1836 and incorporated in 1873, the village took its name from the French for “the mountain” in 1850, after earlier names that included Keepataw, Athens and Palmyra. The Lemont Downtown Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.

What buyers notice in Lemont listings:

• Historic downtown. The Old Stone Church (1861) and the Illinois and Michigan Canal are part of what makes Lemont distinct. Lifestyle photos of downtown help buyers picture daily life.
• Hillside lots. Many Lemont homes sit on rolling ground. Drone photos show elevation, views and how a lot relates to the river valley.
• Commuter access. Lemont has a Metra Heritage Corridor station with weekday service to Chicago Union Station, and the I-355 extension has an interchange at 127th Street.
• Strong schools. Lemont High School received a National Blue Ribbon award in 2017, and many buyers look for homes in Lemont-Bromberek District 113A and Lemont Township High School District 210.
