Urban amenities with small town feel
Downtown Naperville is the city’s commercial hub that provides urban amenities and a small-town feel. The neighborhood’s quaint Main Street is the city’s shopping and dining region. Partner/Owner of The Ville Team at Coldwell Banker Realty and a Naperville resident, Bridget Salela says it’s small town feel comes from its neighborly customs. “I like the fact I can walk outside, and people are walking around, and it’s friendly,” Salela says. “You could go for a coffee and swim in Centennial Beach. It’s fun to walk by and see your friends at the beach. It’s a dogwalker’s dream.” Walking is often done at Naperville’s Riverwalk, considered the city’s crown jewel for its beauty and peaceful environment. “Downtown Naperville is where people want to raise a family. You have great schools. We’re close to Interstate 88 and only 20 minutes to Chicago.”
The city of Naperville was founded in 1831 and has a current population of 149,936.
Downtown Naperville is located in the vibrant, award-winning city of Naperville, IL.

There’s a Sephora and a luxury shop great for homes.” Other retailers include Anthropologie, lululemon, Apple Store and the MINISO.

The Naperville Riverwalk is the city’s crown jewel, providing extensive recreation options.

Paddleboat Quarry also continues time in the water through paddleboat and kayak rentals. Millennium Carillon Ice Skating and Volleyball Park serves as a year-round attraction.
