North Dixon combines recreation with proximity to everyday amenities
Although miles of corn and soybean fields comprise the bulk of North Dixon, this community's heart is along the Rock River's northern shores. “It’s a small, quiet waterfront community where you’ll always see people out and about, and it has great recreation,” says Debbie Flannery, a local Realtor with Re/Max, who has 22 years of experience. In addition to its many activities, much of which centers around the outdoors, homebuyers benefit from the availability of a wide range of housing styles and prices. The neighborhood is situated near the south side amenities of the city of Dixon, widely known as the birthplace of former President Ronald Reagan.

Waterfront parks, Little League and more offer plenty to do outdoors
Lowell Park, on the area's northeastern side, is a hub for outdoor recreation. “It’s a very popular park among locals,” Flannery says. Its amenities include a nature center, wooded trails, fishing spots and a public boat ramp. “The Rock River is great for fishing,” Flannery says. A multiuse path stretches across the southern waterfront, passing through several green spaces like Presidents Park, where visitors can see the Lincoln State Memorial. More history is detailed at Veterans Memorial Park through educational placards, a preserved tank and more. The bleachers at Al Morrison Baseball Complex on Page Park Drive regularly fill for Little League games. The Facility offers indoor athletic courts and batting cages for a daily or monthly fee.

Housing ranges from 19th-century styles to newer builds
Dixon’s oldest homes sit back from gridded streets near the waterfront's south end. The houses here were built during the 19th and early 20th centuries and range from bungalows to Victorian to National Folk styles. Development toward the north takes on a more traditional suburban aesthetic, with ranch-style homes built during the mid-to-late 20th century. While greenery is abundant throughout, the neighborhood’s outskirts have a more rural atmosphere, where recently built New Traditional homes tend to have more acreage and back up to sprawling crop fields. Prices typically range from $60,000 to $250,000. However, larger or newer homes can exceed this price point and reach $470,000.
