About Homewood
A south suburb of about 19,463 (2020 census), Homewood is one of the southland's most vibrant downtowns — a walkable village center of restaurants, boutiques, and the original Aurelio's Pizza, surrounded by mid-century ranches, split-levels, and historic homes. The vibe is community-minded and lively, with Metra Electric and Amtrak service and the Izaak Walton Preserve at its edge.
