Situated about 20 miles southwest of Chicago, Midlothian serves residents as a peaceful retreat from the bustle of city life. Named for an ancient borough in Scotland, Midlothian is rife with tree-lined streets and surrounded by natural preserves and parkland. The abundant natural amenities in Midlothian lead to a host of outdoor recreational opportunities, from hiking and biking the Midlothian Meadows Trail to golfing at the Midlothian Country Club to playing a range of sports at Memorial Park’s athletic facilities. While Midlothian provides a serene atmosphere away from the city, its central location also allows for easy access to the heart of Downtown Chicago. Home to a Metra station on the Rock Island line, Midlothian is just a 30-minute train ride away from Chicago. For those who prefer to drive, Midlothian is convenient to multiple highways, including Interstates 57 and 294.
