Book YourAbout Homewood — Built on the Shoreline of a Vanished Lake
Homewood was founded in 1893, roughly 22 miles south of downtown Chicago, but the ground it sits on is far older than the village itself. Ridge Road, which runs through town, traces the Calumet Shoreline — the ancient edge of a glacial lake that covered much of the Chicago region thousands of years ago, long before Lake Michigan settled into its current shape. You can still see that geological history preserved today at the Izaak Walton Preserve, a 193-acre space carved directly out of that old glacial lakebed and sandy shoreline.
The village’s modern downtown sits at Dixie Highway and Ridge Road — the same ridge the glaciers left behind — now home to independent coffee shops, a bookstore, a boutique hotel, and the hands-on Homewood Science Center. Homewood has also quietly produced some notable names: Steve Sarowitz, founder of the publicly traded payroll company Paylocity, was born and raised here, and Olympic bobsledder Aja Evans calls Homewood home as well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it true Homewood sits on the shoreline of an ancient glacial lake?
Yes — Ridge Road follows the Calumet Shoreline, the old edge of a glacial lake that once covered much of the Chicago region. The 193-acre Izaak Walton Preserve was carved directly out of that ancient lakebed and is still visible today.
Does the $95 rate change depending on which part of Homewood I’m in?
No — $95 is the flat sedan rate for any pickup within Homewood village limits, regardless of the exact address. It does change if you choose an SUV, minivan, or black car instead of a sedan.
How long does the drive from Homewood to O’Hare usually take?
Published estimates put it at roughly 42 miles and 50–65 minutes under typical conditions, longer during weekday rush hour or winter weather.
Can I book a car seat for a flight out of Homewood?
Yes, for $10 extra, though availability is limited — reserve it when you book rather than asking last minute.

Yes — we run flat-rate service across this part of the south suburbs, including Flossmoor, Olympia Fields, Chicago Heights, Hazel Crest, and East Hazel Crest, each priced separately from Homewood.
