Walkable cul-de-sacs and freshly mowed lawns in Naper Carriage Hill
The winding residential streets of Naper Carriage Hill branch into neat cul-de-sacs throughout the neighborhood. Sidewalks connect each avenue, shaded by dense foliage that turns all shades of red and orange by autumn. Bilevel homes and Colonial Revivals feature spacious, mowed lawns with modest gardens and the occasional tire swing. Basketball hoops and soccer goals sit in their driveways, passed by local dogwalkers and joggers. Ranging in price from $460,000 to $675,000, properties in this community trend above average compared to the Chicago Metropolitan area. Those on the waterfront are notably priced between $990,000 and $1.2 million, often exceeding 5,000 square feet with private access to the DuPage River. Homebuyers can expect paved driveways, attached multi-car garages and moderate walkability.

Community swim teams at Naper Carriage Hill Swim & Racquet Club
The Naper Carriage Hill Swim & Racquet Club is a private neighborhood gathering space open Memorial Day through Labor Day. Residents can swim freely or participate in the swim, water polo or tennis teams for adults and youth. Oakridge Parkway, a neighborhood pocket park, is equally walkable and home to a community playground, open field space and a shaded walking path. Across the water, the West Branch DuPage River Trail is a paved, two-lane trail stretching north to Veterans Park and south to Knoch Knolls Park. Cyclists can pedal through the wooded DuPage River corridor, far removed from the street traffic on its parallel avenues. “The DuPage River is super long, so people can kayak and canoe throughout Naperville,” McGuire says. Just west of the trail is Springbrook Prairie, a sprawling 1,800-acre preserve of woodlands, grasslands and aquatic habitats. The prairie’s trails, off-leash dog park and 18-hole championship golf course attract guests from across the region.

An elementary school within walking distance
Students are zoned for the Naperville Community Unit School District 203, which earns an A-plus on Niche and ranks as the second-best district in the county. Scott Elementary School is walkable for many families, earning an A and providing three English language learning programs for bilingual students. With the same grade, Madison Junior High School is located less than a mile east, offering both a continued Dual Language program and a STEM Innovation initiative with extracurriculars like Lego League. With an A-plus, Naperville Central High School provides career and technical education courses with the goal of properly preparing students for college. Naperville Central is consistently ranked by Niche as one of the state’s top 30 high schools.

Family-friendly festivities in Downtown Naperville
Downtown Naperville sits just 3 miles north, hosting city-wide events throughout the year. “Of course there are parades for all the major holidays, like the Saint Patrick’s Day festival is always pretty big,” McGuire says. “But a lot of events change, and new ones pop up every year.” The Naperville Farmer’s Market is consistently held on 5th Avenue each Saturday from June through October. Buzzing with guests browsing locally grown produce and handcrafted items, the market overlaps with Naper Nights Summer Concert Series. This city-wide summertime tradition comprises themed tribute concerts hosted by the Naper Settlement outdoor history museum downtown. When 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.

Navigating DuPage County
Residents of Naper Carriage Hill are largely car-dependent. The city’s Pace bus service does not provide routes in the area, and designated bike lanes are limited to nearby parks. However, the West Branch DuPage River Trail parallels Washington Street, heading 4 miles north into Downtown Naperville. While there, commuters can hop on the Metra for an hour-long ride into downtown Chicago from Naperville station. Washington Street also leads to the nearest emergency room at Endeavor Health Edward Hospital, 3 miles north. Those heading into Aurora can take 75th Street west for 13 miles, while those traveling out-of-state typically fly out of Chicago Midway International Airport, 24 miles east on Interstate 55. Alternatively, many ride the Metra to Union Station and catch the L to the airport.

Game-day hangouts and brunch spots on Washington Street
Washington Street is a popular thoroughfare for residents of Naper Carriage Hill, lined with shopping and dining options leading the way to Downtown Naperville. Bottoms Up Sports Bar & Grill is right across the river, a classic game-day hangout serving beer and wings with the Bears game playing overhead. Sweet Toast Café sits down the road, boasting fresh cake donuts on the weekends—prepared in-house. Heading south toward Bolingbrook, Maple Park Place and its surrounding shopping centers house big-box options like Target, Jewel-Osco and Meijer, alongside retailers like Best Buy and Home Depot. North on Naper Boulevard, Mariano’s supermarket sits near Freedom Brothers Pizzeria & Alehouse, a regional chain with a full bar, brick ovens and playful menu items, including “Grateful Bread” and “Green Day” pesto pizza.
