Machesney Park, IL: Rural Living Without Compromise 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) Macheseny Park, Illinois is located just outside of Rockford, Illinois and is only a few hours away from Chicago. Machesney Park is a welcoming community with decent public schools. It is also a well-policed and safer community which is important for those looking to raise a fami ...Read More ly. One of the city's main attractions is Rock Cut State Park which is especially fun in the summer time. There are trails to go hiking and a small swimming area to cool down during the humid summers. The shopping and nightlife isn't that great, but it usually isn't a problem with the larger city of Rockford being nearby.

The overall weather of Machesney Park is that of most of Illinois or the Midwest in general. The winters are frigid and snowy, and the summers are hot and humid. Fall is the favorite season among locals because of the rural community having many trees that produce all kinds of bright and warm colors during the fall months.

Machesney Park is a great place to live if you're looking for inexpensive housing options in a safe community with rural charm. Read Less
