Compact subdivisions in northern Naperville
Country Lakes packs the blocks between Aurora Road and Deihl Road, a series of compact subdivisions surrounded by small ponds and community parks. A mix of single-family homes and townhouses border some of Naperville's northernmost industrial business park complexes off the Interstate 88 corridor. But most residents hardly notice, considering the majority of homes only yield views of the shady foliage out front and their neighbor’s yard out back. Sidewalks interconnect with paved walking paths overlooking the water, some even branching off to the local elementary school. A bustling shopping and dining scene outlines the Route 59 strip, home to the Fox Valley Mall and its accompanying big-box shops and eateries.
A mix of single-family homes and townhouses
Single-family homes in Country Lakes range from 1980s ranch-style builds to modern Craftsman constructed as recently as 2018. Traditional architecture is often Colonial or Tudor-inspired. Closer to the community’s surrounding thoroughfares, homebuyers will find collections of condos and townhomes featuring attached garages and modest lawns, priced between $150,000 and $510,000. These communities sometimes weave between groups of single-family homes ranging from $360,000 to around $800,000 for newer construction exceeding 3,000 square feet. Sidewalks twist and turn throughout the area, occasionally branching into paved paths surrounding small ponds, lush with foliage in the summertime. Others lead directly into neighborhood green spaces, from Country Lakes Park farther south to the Atwater Park playground up north.

From community parks to the McDowell Grove Forest Preserve
Tucked between subdivisions are a handful of community parks within walking distance of most residences. Shaded walking paths connect Country Lake Park’s central playground to a baseball diamond and basketball court, visible from many backyards. The park’s grassy knolls transform into sledding hills in the winter. The playground at Atwater Park sits on Capeside Drive, a mere block from the Aurora Branch of the Illinois Prairie Path. Stretching 14 miles from Wheaton to Aurora, cyclists can take advantage of the trail’s Elgin Branch and Batavia Spur for longer rides. The McDowell Grove Forest Preserve offers a more immersive nature experience 3 miles west. The preserve includes 7 miles of hiking trails, boat launches onto the West Branch DuPage River and fishing opportunities at the 22-acre Mud Lake.
Country Lakes Park is a great place to walk your dog.
Atwater Park has a mulched playground for kids to play safely in Country Lakes.

Shopping & dining on Route 59
Route 59, a bustling thoroughfare lined with shopping and dining options frequented by residents throughout the community, stretches west of Country Lakes. Big-box stops like Target, Meijer, Costco Wholesale and Walmart Supercenter lead the way to the Fox Valley Mall, 3 miles south. Standalone stores like Menards and Home Depot surround more than 150 retail outlets and eateries, anchored by department stores like Macy’s and JCPenney. The mall also offers family-friendly entertainment options, including Sky Zone Trampoline Park and Round 1 Bowling & Arcade. Internationally inspired eats flank the outskirts, from Qamaria Yemeni Coffee to La Michoacana Deluxe Ice Cream. Closer to home, SanguCHE is a local favorite, a casual Peruvian sandwich shop serving authentic South American dishes. Shinto Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Lounge has table-side grilling and maki-rolling classes, while JK Kabob offers traditional Indian and Pakistani fare.

Family-friendly festivities in Downtown Naperville
Downtown Naperville is 5 miles south of Country Lakes, hosting vibrant festivities throughout the year. “The downtown area is a huge draw for people across the city,” says Ginny Jackson, a local broker associate with Baird & Warner. “It’s not only a destination for Naperville residents—we call ourselves Napervillians—it’s also a hub for people outside of the city. It’s that big sense of community that draws people in.” Held on 5th Avenue, the Naperville Farmer’s Market takes place each Saturday from June through October. Guests browse locally grown produce and handcrafted items before heading to the Naper Nights Summer Concert Series. This city-wide summertime tradition features themed tribute concerts hosted by the Naper Settlement outdoor history museum. By the time autumn settles in, Naperville families say farewell to summer at The Last Fling, a weekend-long Labor Day festival featuring live music, carnival rides and a parade.

Riding the Route 59 Metra to Downtown Chicago
The Route 59 Metra station sits 2 miles south, offering four separate commuter parking lots and an hour's ride to Chicago. "We have everything we need here, so there's not much need to go into Chicago," Jackson says. "But for commuters overall, it's a mix. Some people use the Metra, others drive." Those preferring to make the trip by car can head 35 miles east to Downtown Chicago on I-290 and I-88. Chicago Midway International Airport is about 35 miles in the same direction. Downtown Naperville is about 5 miles southeast, where the closest emergency room is at Endeavor Health Edward Hospital. Meanwhile, Downtown Aurora is 7 miles west, providing the last Metra stop on the BNSF line to Union Station. Local travel might mean catching a bus on Route 59, as Country Lakes does not provide bus service within the neighborhood.
