Suburban life takes flight in Aero Estates, a high-end residential neighborhood on Naperville's west end. With a set of aircraft runways connecting each home to the community’s private airport, it’s the rare kind of place where it’s just as common to travel with small aircraft as it is to commute by car. When residents aren’t in the skies, ample shopping options and scenic nature preserves ensure a turbulence-free lifestyle close to home. “Naperville’s a posh town, but it’s also a community that really comes together for its people,” says Eva Burns, a broker with RE/MAX of Naperville. Burns specializes in the local real estate market and has sold homes in town for over 20 years.
Aero Estates features taxiways that line the neighborhood leading to the main runway.
