An established subdivision that makes Naperville feel small

Naper Carriage Hill rides the line between DuPage and Will Counties, an established subdivision with a voluntary homeowners association and a walkable swim club. “Naperville and Aurora are such big areas, so these great little communities make it feel a lot smaller,” says Sue McGuire, a local Realtor with Baird & Warner. “You run into the same people all the time. With a population of 150,000, that’s something special.” Cul-de-sacs are lined with various home styles, including spacious waterfront properties within walking distance of the local elementary school. Across the river, Washington Street offers ample amenities leading the way to Downtown Naperville, 4 miles up the road. From a quiet, suburban landscape to a bustling downtown scene in less than 20 minutes, Naper Carriage Hill offers residents a balanced lifestyle.

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.

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.

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.

Every Summer, residents love attending the weekly Naper Nights Community Concert.
