Oswego's collection of residential communities close to the village center

On the south side of Fox River and Illinois Route 71, South Oswego is a collection of young subdivisions dotted with community and neighborhood parks. South Oswego residents have the luxury of living just a few miles from downtown Oswego while enjoying quiet residential streets and being within walking distance of neighborhood amenities. The subdivisions themselves are fairly new, mainly dating back to the late 90s and early 2000s, but many are still in development to accommodate more people moving to Oswego. “We have new residents who are steadily moving here, but we also have residents who have lived here their entire lives and are dedicated to the community and enjoy what Oswego has to offer,” says Bridget Bittman, Communications Manager for the Village of Oswego.
