Westglen
Ranch-style homes and Colonial Revivals in a moderate price range
Westglen’s curved residential streets are outlined with spacious, well-kept yards. Ranch-style homes and snout houses neighbor Colonial Revivals, ranging in price from $320,000 to $600,000. “Even in the current housing market, it’s very affordable to live in the neighborhood,” says Penny O’Brien, a local Realtor with Baird & Warner, noting the slightly below-average home prices. “It’s very community-oriented while remaining close to Downtown Naperville.” With a CAP Index Crime Score of 1—compared to the national average of 4—Westglen is considerably mellow. Fenced-in backyards flaunt patios, pools and trampolines. The sidewalks are flanked by basketball hoops in the driveways paired with attached garages and modest front gardens.

Sharing a playground and ball fields with Owen Elementary
Students in Westglen attend the Indian Prairie Community Unit School District 204, which earns an A-plus on Niche and serves the greater Naperville and Aurora region. Owen Elementary School is walkable from most homes, bordering Westglen Park to the south. With an A-plus on Niche, the school shares the park’s amenities, including its playground and ball fields. Jeffrey C. Still Middle School earns an A on Niche, located about 4 miles west, with bus service provided. Students wrap up at Waubonsie Valley High School, which earns an A-plus and ranks above average for its teachers, college prep and extracurricular activities like art, chess and gamers clubs. As one of just three high schools in the district, students can expect to integrate with those from Scullen and Fischer Middle Schools upon arrival.

A walkable neighborhood park and sprawling prairie next door
Westglen Park rests in the heart of the community, a neighborhood green space with shaded walking paths. The playground and fields are populated with elementary students in the afternoon and dog walkers in the evening, considered “one of the main draws for homebuyers looking to move to the area,” according to O’Brien. Westglen’s bike lanes stretch less than a mile north to Gartner Park, a haven in the winter for its sled hills and ice rink. Over the summer, residents frequent the ball courts and fields bordering 75th Street. Just west is Springbrook Prairie, a sprawling 1,800-acre preserve of woodlands, grasslands and aquatic habitats walkable from Westglen. The prairie’s trails, off-leash dog park and 18-hole championship golf course attract guests from across the region. “Some people on the other side can even access it from their horse farms,” McGuire says. “Runners and walkers, watch out for the horse poop!”

From Naperville to Chicago on the Metra
Westglen residents are largely car-dependent, as the city’s Pace bus service does not offer stops within walking distance. Bike lanes, however, are prominent throughout the city, lining 75th Street, 79th Street and Modaff Road, which heads 3 miles north into Downtown Naperville. There, commuters can take the Metra, which is about an hour’s ride into downtown Chicago from Naperville station. Modaff Road also leads to the nearest emergency room at Endeavor Health Edward Hospital, 2 miles north. Those heading into Aurora can take 75th Street west for 10 miles, while those traveling out-of-state typically fly out of Chicago Midway International Airport, 25 miles east on Interstate 55. Alternatively, many ride the Metra to Union Station and catch the L to the airport.

The family-owned Pancake Café on 75th Street
75th Street is a primary thoroughfare for those in Westglen, lined with shopping and dining options within a few miles of the community. Hobson West Commons Shopping Center is home to Naperville Fresh Market and various fast food options for residents on the go. The Pancake Café, however, is a sit-down, family-owned brunch spot serving hot cakes and French toast in bouncy, pleather booths. Farther east, Jewel-Osco and Mariano’s sit across the parking lot from 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. Over on Route 59, big-box shops like Walmart Supercenter, Costco and Home Depot lead the way to the Fox Valley Mall.

Finding fresh produce and summertime concerts before The Last Fling
The Naperville Farmer’s Market is 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. Naperville families say “farewell to summer” at The Last Fling, a weekend-long Labor Day festival featuring live music, carnival rides and a parade. “We’re not Chicago, where you’d have hundreds of festivals every weekend, but there’s always something,” McGuire says. “Beginning of summer festivals, end of summer festivals. We’re such a big area, but these events make it feel smaller.”
