A quiet subdivision on the west side of Champaign
Sawgrass is a subdivision on the western side of Champaign, situated along the cloverleaves and intersections of two interstates. With Champaign just 4.5 miles away and Urbana about 7 miles away, Sawgrass residents are still close to Champaign’s restaurants and The Fighting Illini’s football and basketball games at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Sawgrass itself only has two entrances and is next to one other subdivision, so residents can enjoy a private life where they can get to know their neighbors.
Sawgrass is a townhouse and single family subdivision that was established in the 2000s.
The Sawgrass neighborhood is conveniently located near I-57 expressway.

New Traditional townhouses and single-family homes in Sawgrass
“Sawgrass is a relatively new subdivision,” says broker Russ Taylor with Russ Taylor Associates. “It has multi-family, rentals, condos, and single-family homes.” Even with the collection of housing types, one developer made the entire neighborhood, so the New Traditional style with vinyl siding adds consistency throughout Sawgrass’s tree-lined streets. However, people add some individuality with the flowers they plant along the front pathways and porches. New residents can meet their neighbors by walking along the well-maintained sidewalks, which run along one side of all the streets here. “Homes range in price from $150,000 to $400,000, depending on whether it’s a condo,” Taylor says.

Watching the sunset from Sunset Ridge Park
While Sawgrass doesn’t have any neighborhood parks, Boulder Ridge next door offers Sunset Ridge Park. This neighborhood park offers a playground and tennis and basketball courts. True to its name, Sunset Ridge Park is great for watching the sunset because of its open space on the edge of town. Over by Parkland College, Dodds Park welcomes athletes with several baseball diamonds and soccer fields, making it popular with local leagues. People can also walk through the Eddie Albert Community Garden to admire the flowers.

Downtown Champaign's barbeque and burger joints
Because Sawgrass is residential, people will have to travel beyond the subdivision for shopping and dining. Close to Parkland College, The Original Pancake House offers breakfast classics, but their specialty is Dutch babies, a baked pancake topped with fruit and powdered sugar. In downtown Champaign, Big Grove Tavern offers everything from tacos and burgers to shrimp and grits. Black Dog Smoke and Ale House serves classic barbeque and features a sunroom filled with plants and painted with orange accents for a warm atmosphere. Schnucks Champaign is the closest grocery store, about 2.5 miles from Sawgrass in the Champaign Commons shopping center. County Market is 3 miles south, accessible along Staley Road.

Cheering on The Fighting Illini football and basketball teams
Ebertfest calls all cinephiles to downtown Champaign. The film festival has occurred every April for 25 years at the historic 1920s Virginia Theatre, highlighting films that didn’t receive critical acclaim and recognition at their initial release. From May to August, Hessel Park Concerts happen once a month in the evenings, featuring a different local performer and food vendor each time. “Urbana has a farmers’ market that’s been there probably over 30 years on Saturdays that’s really well attended,” Taylor says. However, what really brings the Champaign-Urbana community together are the basketball and football games at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where the towns cheer on The Fighting Illini.
