Urban living in the heart of Downers Grove
Acadia on the Green stands as a cornerstone of downtown Downers Grove, offering a blend of convenience and community. Completed in 2008, this four-story condominium complex houses 126 units, providing residents with a prime location in one of America's friendliest towns. The building's brick facade and mix of recessed and protruding balconies complement the vibrant streetscape of this bustling suburban village. Situated across from the Metra station and within walking distance of an array of amenities, Acadia on the Green embodies the essence of accessible urban living in a charming small-town setting.
Spacious layouts with modern finishes and panoramic views
Acadia on the Green offers a range of floor plans to suit various lifestyles, from cozy one-bedroom units to expansive three-bedroom homes. The smallest units start at 866 square feet, perfect for singles or couples, while the largest two-bedroom layouts stretch to an impressive 2,284 square feet, ideal for those seeking extra space. Prices for these homes vary, with one-bedroom units selling around $330,000 and two-bedroom units ranging from $424,000 to $770,000.
Many units feature large windows that offer stunning views of downtown Downers Grove. The kitchens are well-appointed, equipped with custom cabinetry, abundant granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Hardwood floors are common in the main living areas, adding warmth and elegance to the space.
Master suites in the larger units include walk-in closets and ensuite bathrooms with double vanities and oversized step-in showers. Some of the more luxurious units feature curved walls of windows, providing a unique architectural element and panoramic views of the surrounding area. Private balconies come standard with each unit, offering residents a personal outdoor retreat.
For added convenience, all units include in-unit laundry facilities with full-size washers and dryers. The building also offers heated garage parking, ensuring residents' vehicles are protected year-round. Monthly HOA fees range from $400 to $800, covering amenities such as heat, water, gas, insurance, security, exterior maintenance, scavenger services, and snow removal.
Modern comforts with a focus on community living
Acadia on the Green provides a range of amenities designed to enhance the living experience of its residents. The building features a secure entry system and elevator access to all floors, ensuring safety and convenience. A professionally managed association maintains the property, keeping common areas pristine and addressing residents' needs promptly.
One of the standout features is the heated indoor parking garage, a valuable asset during harsh Midwest winters. Each unit comes with assigned parking spaces, and additional storage units are available for residents who need extra space for their belongings.
The building's location itself serves as an amenity, with residents enjoying easy access to downtown Downers Grove's vibrant scene. The proximity to restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues creates a lifestyle where everything is just steps away from home.
While the building may not boast extensive on-site recreational facilities, its integration with the surrounding community compensates for this. Residents can take advantage of nearby parks, fitness centers, and cultural attractions, all within walking distance or a short drive.
For those working from home, the units' spacious layouts often include areas that can be utilized as home offices. High-speed internet connectivity is available throughout the building, supporting modern work-from-home needs.
The building's design also incorporates energy-efficient features, contributing to lower utility costs for residents. Central air conditioning and heating systems ensure year-round comfort, while the well-insulated construction helps maintain consistent temperatures.
A vibrant downtown with small-town charm and big-city conveniences
Acadia on the Green sits at the heart of Downers Grove, a village recognized by Forbes as one of America's Friendliest Towns. The neighborhood exudes a welcoming atmosphere, creating a picturesque setting.
The building's location puts residents within easy reach of an array of dining options. For a casual meal, the Outpost Mexican Eatery offers flavorful dishes just a short walk away. Those craving Thai cuisine can visit Thai Cafe, known for its authentic curries and noodle dishes. For a night out, Pierce Tavern provides a cozy pub atmosphere with a selection of craft beers and hearty American fare.
Cultural experiences abound in the area. The historic Tivoli Theatre, just steps from Acadia on the Green, screens both current releases and classic films in a beautifully preserved 1920s movie palace.
Shopping needs are easily met with a variety of stores nearby. The Downtown Food Mart, a five-minute walk away, provides convenient access to everyday essentials. For more extensive grocery shopping, Jewel-Osco and Fresh Thyme Market are both within a short drive, offering a wide selection of fresh produce and specialty items.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to several parks. Fishel Park, a quarter-mile walk from the building, features picnic areas, playgrounds, and hosts community events throughout the year. For those seeking more extensive green spaces, the Maple Grove Forest Preserve is just a mile away, offering hiking trails and opportunities for nature observation.
Fitness-minded residents can take advantage of SPENGA Downers Grove, a boutique fitness studio located a quarter-mile from Acadia on the Green. The studio offers a unique blend of spin, strength training, and yoga classes.
Throughout the year, downtown Downers Grove comes alive with community events. In February, the Ice Fest transforms the downtown area into a winter wonderland with ice sculptures and live carving demonstrations.
The neighborhood's charm lies in its ability to balance small-town community feel with urban conveniences, making it an ideal location for those who appreciate both aspects of modern living.
Transit-friendly location with easy access to Chicago and beyond
Acadia on the Green's location offers residents excellent transportation options, particularly for those commuting to Chicago or other suburbs. The Downers Grove Main Street Metra station, part of the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe Railway Line, is just a five-minute walk from the building. This proximity allows for an easy commute into downtown Chicago.
For those preferring bus transportation, the Main St & Curtiss St bus stop is practically at the doorstep of the building, served by the Joliet - Downers Grove line. This provides additional public transit options for reaching nearby communities and connecting to other transportation hubs.
The area's high walk score reflects the pedestrian-friendly nature of downtown Downers Grove. Many daily errands and activities can be accomplished on foot, reducing the need for frequent car use. While the transit score indicates that some public transportation options are available, having a car can be beneficial for reaching destinations further afield.
Cyclists will find the area reasonably accommodating, with bike lanes on some streets and several bike-friendly routes connecting to neighboring communities. The moderate bike score suggests that while not a cycling mecca, the area is suitable for recreational rides and some commuting by bike.
For those needing to travel further afield, the building's location provides convenient access to major roadways, facilitating travel throughout the Chicago metropolitan area. This strategic position also means that both Chicago's airports are within reach – Chicago Midway International Airport is about a 25-minute drive, while Chicago O'Hare International Airport can be reached in approximately 35 minutes by car.
The combination of walkable streets, proximity to public transit, and easy access to major highways makes Acadia on the Green an excellent choice for those who value transportation flexibility in their daily lives.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
