Not quite rural and not at all urban, Plainfield’s location is one of its greatest assets.
Once at the crossroads of the nation’s two longest highways, Plainfield maintains optimal positioning in the Chicagoland area. Only 35 miles to Chicago’s Loop, 40 miles to O’Hare International Airport and 30 miles to Midway Airport, Plainfield’s location offers residents and businesses the benefits of metropolitan conveniences along with the shelter of pastoral surroundings. Highways like Interstate 55 (two miles south), Interstate 80 (seven miles south) and Interstate 88 (12 miles north), along with highways 59 and 126 and U.S. Route 30, connect Plainfield to all of Chicago’s suburbs as well as the city itself.
Residents love Plainfield’s proximity to major regional shopping and business centers. As the community expands, both residentially and commercially, continual improvements and/or expansions of roadways accommodate the village’s growth.
