Retail store and restaurants on Randall Road and U.S. Route 20 are also nearby. The community scores a 1 for crime on the CAP Index crime score, compared to the national average of 4, and is districted to the highly rated Central Community Unit School District No. 301. “It’s a newer and safe subdivision and is a perfect place to raise a family,” says Rafael Villagomez, a local Realtor with Epic Real Estate Group LLC.

Providence's 21st century homes
Surrounded by colorful blossoms and fresh lawn mower lines, the stone-clad sign marking the neighborhood's entrance provides a glimpse into the community’s well-kept residential landscape. Young deciduous trees and black streetlamps line its quiet streets alongside sidewalks just wide enough to fit a stroller. Meanwhile, professional and detailed landscaping, alongside built-in basketball hoops on the sides of one-to-two-car driveways, point to a sense of long-term ownership. Homes built between 2005 and 2011 sit atop quarter-acre lots and showcase New Traditional and Colonial styles. While some properties feature stone or brick-clad exteriors, almost all include backyard patios for entertaining during the warmer seasons. Homes typically sell between $275,000 and $545,000 depending on size and condition.
