A growing community offering immediate access to the outdoors
Once a strictly agricultural area, the neighborhood of South DuPage River is now welcoming new residents as the greater Chicago metropolitan area continues to expand. Situated along the western banks of the DuPage River, residents trade immediate proximity to shopping opportunities for picturesque views from established parks like Will County Forest and quick trips to the events of downtown Channahon, located on the other side of the river. “It was all farmland 20 or so years ago and has been slowly growing since,” says Debra Brisolara, Realtor at RE/MAX Ultimate Professionals, with 20-plus years selling in the greater region. “I imagine it will become a major artery in the next 10 years.”
Homes in South DuPage River come with plenty of yard space.

The homes of South DuPage River
Expansive crop fields, filled with corn in the summer months, make up half the community, while several subdivisions comprise the remainder. More specifically, mid-to-late 20th-century homes are found within its more rural areas located south of Route 6, closer to the waterfront. These sit farther back from the road, offering a more secluded feel. They come in ranch styles and sit atop land, usually around an acre or more. Meanwhile, its subdivisions, which include Rivers Edge, Copper Leaf and several others, are characterized by community sidewalks, plot sizes averaging less than 0.3 acres and new traditional-style homes built in the last 30 years. It’s also worth noting that the homeowners associations and their associated fees change from one subdivision to the next. Potential homebuyers can expect a price range from $207,000 up to $620,000 for a larger home built in the last five years.

Exploring the canal at McKinley Woods
McKinley Woods is a forested park located at the community’s southernmost tip. Many head here for peaceful walks along its winding trails, which lead to the Illinois and Michigan Canal Trail. This trail spans for miles in either direction, offering afternoon joggers and bicyclists with views of the water and local wildlife on both sides. According to Angela Rafac, an interpretive naturalist at the park’s Four Rivers Environmental Education Center, many locals make the short bike ride east from home to Moose Island. It’s a frequented spot year-round, with fall and spring welcoming migratory birds to the Des Plaines and Du Page rivers and accessible programming inside the education center, ranging from rotating exhibits to guided kayaking trips. There are also a couple of traditional neighborhood parks home to playgrounds and picnic areas, including Diamond Park off South Eastwood Drive and Henneberry Park along West Deer Path.
