Community
New housing in a mature community is a rarity. Historic Blue Island, with its strong sense of community, has a rich blend of varied restaurants, flower shops, specialty stores, delicatessens and bakeries and always-friendly people.
Blue Island has the largest concentration of antique stores in Illinois, adjacent to the beautiful Historic District. Main Street Blue Island, St. Francis Hospital, the Metra Station and the expressway are just a few blocks from Fay's Point. The Center for Neighborhood technology has identified Blue Island as an ideal location for Transportation Oriented Development and the City has adopted The Blue Island Plan.
Golf is across the river at the Joe Louis Golf Course or at the Meadows in Blue Island. Watch the small town 4th of July parade and wave to the Mayor, help out with the Christmas Lights on Main Street, or watch the New Year's fireworks with your friends and family in the middle of downtown to bring in the New Year. You'll feel right at home.
