Nestled near Des Plaines River in the suburbs of Illinois, Minooka is a charming small town filled with excellent public schools, industrial parks, and an array of local businesses. Creameries, pubs, and eateries are spread throughout town, offering a wide variety of cuisines to choose from. Tree-lined streets and a family-friendly atmosphere are commonplace in this suburban oasis.

Minooka also boasts outdoor amenities, offering proximity to the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie and the Des Plaines Dolomite Prairies Land and Water Reserve — both known for fishing, camping, and wildlife watching. After you find your charming rental in Minooka, check out the extensive hiking trails along the river.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
