Riverfront views are just one of the many appealing elements of Lockport

Community River Breweries Restaurants

A product of a population and development boom that occurred during the construction of the Illinois & Michigan Canal, Lockport is still one of the best-preserved canal sites in the country. The Desk Plaines River runs along the west bank of the city, and while it made Lockport a hub of industry years ago, today the city has become known for its pristine parks and family-friendly vibe.

State St. and 9th St. have the largest collection of Lockport’s attractions. Tap houses, restaurants, and niche spots like Amazing Fantasy Books & Comics keep the canal-side district full of energy. As you move farther east there’s more recognizable stores and fast food restaurants, but there’s also plenty of parks and Broken Arrow Golf Club.

Whether you’re looking for an apartment with riverfront views, or a more traditional home and a two-car garage, Lockport has something for every renter. Families will appreciate the top-notch schools, and the commuting crowd will appreciate the proximity to Chicago and nearby I-355.
