Growing suburbs just minutes from Oswego's quaint downtown
Northwest Oswego is a collection of subdivisions and residential streets ending in cul-de-sacs. Downtown Oswego is just across the Fox River from the community, offering a quaint downtown with new businesses frequently opening up. “We have a really active downtown with a winery and a yoga studio,” says broker Carolyn Alzueta with Charles Rutenburg Realty and lifelong Oswego resident. “Things like that that make you feel like you’re in a trendy, cool place.” Oswego has grown in popularity in past years, and the growing population is bringing new businesses and a vibrant culture with it that the current community welcomes. “It still has a rural feel. There are still cornfields around, but you’re still two minutes from downtown,” Alzueta says. “I saw it grow from a tiny farm town to the really fun and vibrant community that it is today.”
Northwest Oswego is a quiet suburban community within commuter distance from Downtown Chicago.

Oswego's outdoor Mexican restaurants and prom dress destinations
With downtown just across the river, residents can access Oswego’s restaurants and shops. On nice days, 113 Main lifts its garage doors to let in the fresh air and create indoor-outdoor seating. La Marimba serves Mexican food and has a great atmosphere. “It has an outdoor patio in the back with a water feature and fire features,” Alzueta says. “You can sit and have a margarita, listen to the water from the fountain and feel the fire.” In the mornings, people stop in Village Grind Coffee and Tea Co. for a cup of joe or pie. “Our downtown has a place called Bella-gia. It’s a really cute clothing boutique, but it’s also where all the girls go for their prom and homecoming shopping,” Alzueta says. Located along Orchard Road, Jewel-Osco is on the same side of the river as Northwest Oswego. For more grocery options, Gerry Centennial Plaza features a Meijer, Target and Walmart Supercenter just 4 miles away along Walter Payton Memorial Highway.

Wine tastings in downtown Oswego
Oswego offers events and festivals throughout the year to bring the community together. “One of the biggest attractions is Venue 1012,” says Bridget Bittman, communications manager for the Village of Oswego. “There are free concerts and movies on Thursday evenings throughout the summer. It’s a great place to meet up with friends and listen to live music. We’ve had many bands play there, including the Tom Petty tribute band.” In the summer, people can shop local produce at the weekend farmer’s market. Wine on the Fox is the annual wine tasting festival hosted in Hudson Crossing Park with live music and local vendors supporting the tasting. On the first weekend in December, the Holiday Christmas Walk brings the holiday spirit to Oswego with a lighted parade and an inflatable sledding hill.
New Traditional homes built in the early 2000s
With Oswego still growing, many of the neighborhoods in Northwest Oswego are still young, featuring New Traditional homes built in the early 2000s. People looking for a more traditional look can also find some Colonial Revivals scattered throughout this side of town. “You see kids playing outside in the streets and cul-de-sacs and people riding their bikes,” Alzueta says. Young trees line the sidewalks, offering a pop of green in the summer and vibrant reds in the fall. Homes typically list between $350,000 and $500,000, depending on the house size and development.
