Founded in the 60s, but evolved from there
Century Hill is a subdivision in northeastern Naperville, which kicked off in the 60s and evolved in the 70s and 80s. As a result, there’s a bit of an eclectic look to the housing styles. But not only do homebuyers appreciate this, they also like the community’s proximity to big city amenities. "Since it’s situated a reasonable 33 miles from Downtown Chicago, Naperville is an excellent choice for commuters," says Lori Johanneson, real estate broker with @properties. "If you’re looking to escape the busyness and noise of the city at the end of the day, Naperville is a wonderful place to relocate." Indeed, there are only two entrances to Century Hill, both situated along Chicago Avenue, cutting down on traffic passing through. It’s a little bubble of peace hugged by Naperville Country Club, Seager Park and Route 34, a crucial commuter path and commercial destination.
Century Hill neighborhood makes up a small portion of the 150,418 residents in Naperville.
Century Hill is a community with eclectic housing styles and mature landscaping.

Variations on colonials and split-levels
This is a tightknit neighborhood that would be hard to get lost in. Century Hill is primarily composed of gently curving streets with early American names, like Mayflower Avenue, and is lined with sidewalks and mature shade trees. Midcentury split-level homes, brick colonials and modern traditional homes comprise much of the housing stock. Some of the colonial homes are variations on a core theme in Century Hill, like a four-bed, three-bath Dutch version that comes with an attached two-car garage. Larger lawns are typically favored here, and while there may be some ornamental shrubbery on the perimeters, most homebuyers let the tall oaks, elms and birches do all the talking. Home prices generally range from $400,000 to $700,000.

Great walkability, and near Route 34
Most of Century Hill is a residential subdivision that’s eminently walkable, thanks to numerous sidewalks and a limited number of entrances that keep out traffic. But commuters do have some key amenities, not least of which is Route 34 less than a mile away. Metra stations run in parallel to this route, and it quickly connects to Interstate 88. Downtown Chicago is about 30 miles east, or roughly a 40-minute drive without heavy traffic.
Commuters of Century Hill love the convenience of the Metra.
