Suburban convenience and a park right outside residents’ doors
Situated in the heart of Bolingbrook, Poplar Park is a suburb with a firmly rooted feel and a healthy dose of green space. The neighborhood’s park, which shares its name, is a gathering place for residents year-round thanks to its indoor and outdoor aquatic center. Even beyond the park, though, this established neighborhood has some big benefits. “People pick Poplar Park because of the convenient access to the highway and because the prices are more affordable compared to some of the surrounding areas,” says David Boris, a Realtor with Lincoln & Assoc. Real Estate who recently sold a home in the neighborhood. Despite the major thoroughfares and shopping corridors just beyond its borders, Poplar Park retains a residential, relaxed feel, where sidewalks connect families to playgrounds and pools.

Get some sun or cool off at Poplar Park
The neighborhood gets its name from the park on its northwest border, Poplar Park. The park features a creative cabin-themed playground, with tables and benches for parents to sit and watch. Or, the whole family can go for a walk along the paved, forested paths that encircle the park’s pond. Adjacent to the park is the Bolingbrook Recreation and Aquatic Complex, which features a gym, fitness center and — perhaps most popular with kids — the Pelican Harbor Indoor/Outdoor Aquatic Park. Residents can cool down on hot days with a wild ride down the water slides or swim some laps indoors even in the winter months.

Established 1970s homes in a narrow price range
Wide, flat streets curve gently through neighborhood, with broad-canopied oaks stretching providing shade over the sidewalks by day and streetlamps providing light by night. Nearly all homes in Poplar Park were built in the 1970s, and popular styles of the time like ranch-style, split-level and bi-level houses are common here. Instead, homes are set apart by modest decorative landscaping from shrubbery to flowerbeds and by fenced-in backyards with playsets or barbecue pits. According to Boris, the neighborhood’s established nature means that a lot of older residents who are downsizing have been putting their houses on the market, and homes are selling fast. The median for the neighborhood is roughly $290,000, with limited wiggle room in the pricing range. A three-bedroom home on the smaller side might list for $210,000, while a spacious four-bedroom can sell for $350,000.
