East Highland: Naperville's Premier Downtown Neighborhood
520 S Washington Street is located in the heart of East Highland, one of Naperville's most sought-after neighborhoods. Established in 1954 as Naperville's first sizeable commercial subdivision, East Highland has evolved into a vibrant, walkable community that seamlessly blends suburban charm with urban convenience.
The neighborhood's crown jewel is the Naperville Riverwalk, a scenic 1.75-mile path along the DuPage River. This beautifully landscaped linear park, just steps from the building, offers residents a tranquil escape for jogging, cycling, or leisurely strolls. The Riverwalk adds to the area's vibrant community feel.
Downtown Naperville, mere blocks away, is a hub of activity with an eclectic mix of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Residents can peruse the shelves at Anderson's Bookshop, a fifth-generation family-owned business, or enjoy upscale dining at establishments like Sullivan's Steakhouse or Catch 35 Naperville. For those who appreciate high-end fashion, stores like Anthropologie and lululemon are within easy walking distance.
The neighborhood is also home to several parks and green spaces. Central Park, a short walk from the building, offers picnic areas, trails, and a community center. For those seeking more extensive recreational facilities, Knoch Park is nearby, featuring ball fields, tennis courts, and multipurpose trails.
East Highland is served by highly-rated schools in District 203. Highlands Elementary School, maintaining an A-plus rating on Niche, is within walking distance. Older students attend the equally well-regarded Kennedy Junior High School and Naperville Central High School, both known for their academic excellence and extracurricular programs.
The neighborhood's charm lies in its ability to offer a suburban lifestyle with urban amenities. Tree-lined streets, well-maintained homes, and a strong sense of community coexist with the convenience of having world-class dining, shopping, and cultural attractions just steps away. This unique blend makes East Highland, and by extension 520 S Washington Street, an ideal location for those seeking the best of both worlds.
Connected to Chicago and Beyond
While 520 S Washington Street's prime downtown location means many amenities are within walking distance, the building also offers excellent transportation options for those needing to travel further afield.
The Naperville Metra Station, less than a mile from the building, provides convenient access to downtown Chicago via the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe Railway Line. This makes 520 S Washington Street an attractive option for commuters who work in the city but prefer a suburban lifestyle. The station is about a 15-minute walk or a quick 5-minute drive from the building.
For air travel, residents have access to two major airports. Chicago Midway International Airport is approximately 24 miles away, typically reachable in about 40 minutes by car. Chicago O'Hare International Airport, one of the busiest airports in the world, is slightly further at 28 miles but is usually accessible in about 45 minutes, traffic permitting.
While public transit options within Naperville itself are limited, the area's high walkability score means that many daily errands and activities can be accomplished on foot. The downtown area's pedestrian-friendly layout, with wide sidewalks and well-maintained crosswalks, encourages walking as a primary mode of transportation for local trips.
For cycling enthusiasts, Naperville offers a growing network of bike lanes and trails. While the city's overall bike infrastructure is still developing, there are several scenic routes nearby, including the Naperville Riverwalk trail, which connects to other local and regional bike paths.
The building's heated underground parking garage provides a valuable amenity for car owners, offering protection from the elements and added security. This feature is particularly appreciated during harsh Illinois winters, allowing residents to avoid scraping ice and snow off their vehicles.
Overall, 520 S Washington Street's location strikes a balance between walkable urban living and convenient access to broader transportation networks, making it an ideal choice for those who value both local charm and regional connectivity.
