About 779 Area Code:
The country’s top housing market can be found in this area code in northern Illinois, which includes major cities like Rockford, DeKalb, and Joliet. In recent years, one of the big news stories in Rockford has been its efforts to revitalize downtown and address housing challenges. In April 2024, The Wall Street Journal named Rockford the nation’s greatest real estate success story. It was a miraculous turnaround, given that a decade ago a third of the market was underwater. The reversal in fortune was linked to its variety of affordable housing and growing industries in healthcare, aerospace and logistics. Rockford, the largest city in the 779 area code, has historically been known for its manufacturing sector but recently it has been transitioning towards a more diversified economy, with significant investments in healthcare and education. The presence of the SwedishAmerican Health System and Rock Valley College underscores the city’s commitment to expanding these sectors. In addition, Rockford has seen growth in its logistics and distribution sectors, aided by its strategic location and transportation infrastructure.
DeKalb, home to Northern Illinois University (NIU), has seen significant changes in education and infrastructure. In March 2023, NIU announced a $23 million expansion of its science and technology facilities to bolster STEM education. The city itself has been adapting to meet the needs of both its student population and an influx of tech companies drawn to the area’s affordable land and proximity to Chicago. Meta, for one, has opened a $1 billion data center in the city. Like many cities in the Midwest and East Coast that relied heavily on manufacturing, Joliet has faced economic challenges in the past. However, the city is transitioning to becoming a commuter suburb within the Chicago metropolitan area. Joliet’s downtown area has been gradually attracting new businesses. Key highlights of the city center include Harrah’s Casino, Joliet Slammers baseball at Duly Health and Care Field, Hollywood Casino, and the Rialto Square Theatre. Often referred to as the “Jewel of Joliet,” the Rialto Square Theatre has been recognized as one of the ten most beautiful theaters in the world.
