Condos for Sale in Batavia, IL

While Batavia is one of many Chicago villages along the Fox River, the city of about 26,000 people maintains a small-town rural feel without sacrificing proximity to amenities. The city only has one bridge connecting the two sides of the city, but there are plenty of parks and recreational activities on both sides of the water. “As far as the Chicago suburbs go, we’re on the edge,” says Realtor Kent Hernandez with Worth Clark Realty and longtime Batavia resident. “If you head east, you have towns and shops. If you head west, it’s cornfields for hundreds of miles. If you want to go and look at the stars, you can do that. If you want to go into the city, you can also do that.” Though many commute to Chicago about 40 miles away, a few major employers like the Aldi headquarters and Fermilab offices in Batavia offer plenty of professional career jobs. Batavia’s median housing price is around $425,000, which is about on par with the national median. Homes closer to downtown are often historical American Foursquares built between the 1880s and 1910. In the sprawling subdivisions in Northeast Batavia and Southwest Batavia , people can also find plenty of Colonial Revivals, split-levels and ranch-style homes. Northwest Batavia
