Southwest of downtown Champaign
Located 4 miles southwest of downtown Champaign and west of the University of Illinois, the West Haven neighborhood is near the intersection of Duncan and Windsor Roads. This area has developed over the last 30 years and consists of the Robeson Meadows subdivision, which includes two lakes and walking trails that connect all parts of the neighborhood, along with Robeson Park to the north. “It’s a well-laid-out neighborhood with nice landscaping,” says Tim Hoss Jr., a broker with RE/MAX Choice with over 20 years of experience.

West Haven lakes and trails
The Robeson Meadows Homeowners Association encourages residents to fish. Largemouth bass, bluegill and crappie can end up at the end of a line. Fishing is only allowed for residents and their guests. Walking trails connect different parts of the neighborhood and both lakes. There’s even a bridge that leads to a small island on one of the lakes.While fishing is popular, Hoss says folks used to ice skate on the lakes during winter, but that it hasn’t been thick enough in recent years to safely do so. In addition to the trails, sidewalks are plentiful, even around the small Meadow Square Park, a green space with some benches and picnic tables. “Kids go there to play touch or tackle football and other neighborhood pick-up games,” Hoss says. The walking trails in the northern part of the neighborhood connect to the larger Robeson Park, with ballfields and a playground among the 24 acres. Folks also go fishing along Phinney Branch, a small stream on the park's northern edge. “During warm weather, kids will go in the water, but not when it gets too high,” he says. The park is higher than the creek, so no flooding concerns exist. Phinney Branch also flows through Lincolnshire Fields Country Club on both sides of nearby Interstate 57. A walking path under the highway connects golfers to holes on either side. Members of the club also enjoy tennis courts and a swimming pool.
Robeson Meadows Trail is a hidden gem inside the West Haven neighborhood.

HOA activities in West Haven
Meadows Square Park is a meeting place and the site for many activities organized by the Robeson Meadows Homeowners Association. The annual Halloween parade starts at the park and ends at the Robeson Park playground. It’s also the starting point for a 1-mile fun run/walk on Thanksgiving morning. The course goes by both lakes. In August, there’s a neighborhood garage sale where many homeowners participate for a four-hour block on a Saturday morning. The sale is advertised in the Champaign-Urbana News-Gazette, the local paper, and signs direct visitors near neighborhood entrances off Duncan and Windsor Roads.
