Soil Type

Glacial till clay (expansive)

Climate Zone

Humid continental (5A)

Known as the "Lilac Village," Lombard blends Victorian-era charm near downtown with mid-century and modern construction throughout its neighborhoods. Homes along Main Street and near Lilacia Park date to the late 1800s and feature older foundation types — stone, block, and early concrete — that require specialized repair approaches. The village's location along the Great Western Trail corridor means many properties deal with drainage from the old railroad grade.
