A newer neighborhood on the west side of Champaign
On the west side of Champaign, along Bradley Avenue, west of the Interstate 57 overpass, is the Boulder Ridge neighborhood, developed around 20 years ago. “The oldest homes were built around 2005, and there’s new construction going on as well,” says Mark Panno, a broker with Keller Williams Realty with eight years of experience. “The neighborhood is expanding mainly north on Boulder Ridge Drive.” The houses are within walking distance of a 20-acre park, and some homes are built around small ponds that provide waterside views. This was one of the first neighborhoods constructed on the west side of the I-57 overpass and is close to a small business park on North Staley Road with a large FedEx shipping location.
Boulder Ridge. is located in Champaign, IL and is one of the newer communities in the area.

Sunset Ridge Park
The neighborhood has good walkability, with sidewalks on both sides of the street. Those sidewalks can lead to the northwest part of the neighborhood and Sunset Ridge Park. “People love the convenience, how easy it is to get there and the amenities within the park,” Panno says. Those include walking paths to access the skate park, a playground and a court to play tennis or pickleball. Trails go through a restored prairie area on the park's north side. There's green space in the center of the paved trail loop where soccer games occur and a full basketball court. The park opened in 2006, not long after the first houses were built in Boulder Ridge. Dodds Park is east on Bradley Avenue, with seven lighted baseball and softball diamonds and 12 lighted soccer fields. The 110-acre facility is a popular spot for intramural league games.
