Written by the Emily’s Limousine Service team. We are based in Orland Park, IL, a short drive from Homer Glen, and cover all of the Chicago south suburbs. See our site at emilyslimousineservice.com.

Quick answer: Homer Glen is unusual among the towns we serve — it has no Metra station of its own, so residents rely on nearby stations in Orland Park or Lemont, or drive to the highway. We’re licensed, fully insured, dispatching 24 hours a day, with flat-rate pricing and no hidden fees. We run vehicles through Homer Glen constantly from our base in Orland Park.

At a glance

• Population: 24,543 as of the 2020 census — one of Will County’s larger villages, incorporated in 2001
• Distance from downtown Chicago: the Village’s own materials cite 25 miles southwest; other sources cite up to 32 miles depending on route
• Nearest Metra options: Orland Park 143rd Street (SouthWest Service) or the Lemont station (Heritage Corridor Line), each roughly 10 minutes away by car
• Airports: Midway roughly 22 miles, O’Hare roughly 35 miles
• Key corridor: Route 7 / 159th Street connects Homer Glen east to Orland Park and Tinley Park

No Metra station changes the calculus here

Unlike Oak Forest, Orland Park, or Tinley Park, Homer Glen doesn’t have a commuter rail station within its own borders. Residents heading downtown by train typically drive to Orland Park’s 143rd Street station on the SouthWest Service or to Lemont’s station on the Heritage Corridor Line, each about a 10-minute drive from most of the village. That means a lot of Homer Glen ground transportation is either a straight highway run via I-355 to I-55, or a short hop to a neighboring town’s station — which is exactly the kind of local routing knowledge that matters more here than in towns with their own depot.

A newer, more spread-out village

Homer Glen only incorporated in 2001, and at just over 22 square miles for a population of about 24,500, it’s less densely built than its older neighbors — closer to a patchwork of residential developments and preserved land like the Homer Woods Forest Preserve than a traditional downtown grid. That geography means pickups are often further apart than in a compact town, which is worth factoring into timing for multi-stop bookings like a wedding party or a group heading to the same event from different parts of the village.

What we handle in Homer Glen

• Airport transfers. Midway is the closer option at roughly 22 miles; O’Hare runs about 35. See our Chicago airport transfers page.
• Weddings and special events. Homer Glen’s spread-out layout means confirming every pickup address in advance matters more than in a compact downtown. See our wedding limo service page.
• Corporate travel. I-355 access makes Homer Glen a reasonable base for reaching the broader Chicagoland business corridor. See our corporate limousine page.
• Group travel to the Metra. For groups without a car heading to a Chicago event, a ride to the Orland Park or Lemont station can be simpler than parking at either lot.
