A planned community of large custom homes around a large park
Grande Park is in Plainfield, Illinois, about 40 miles southwest of downtown Chicago. Cory Clarke, a resident since 2017, says, "It's probably the number one spot in the Fox Valley and Chicago's southwestern suburbs." The community features large, custom homes built in phases, starting in the early 2000s. "It's a subdivision with a lot of neighborhoods or sub-neighborhoods within it," Clarke, who lives in Sage Knoll, says. At the core of the neighborhood clusters is a huge park, an aquatic center, clubhouse, and various sports and leisure amenities. The community is divided by a major street, Ridge Road. "Half of the neighborhood is on the park side, and half is on the school side."
Unique but complementary homes
The Grande Park Homeowners Association had its first member board elected in 2022, taking the place of development management companies. There are established criteria for residences, such as square footage, paint colors, materials and roofing, that guarantee home styles remain cohesive while being uniquely customized by different builders. Common exterior finishes are siding, brick or a mix. They all come with an attached multi-car garage.
"It's getting bigger and more expensive. They've been building a lot of new construction," Dan Gleason, real estate broker at the Bremer Team - Keller Williams Success Realty, says. He's been in sales for over 20 years. Typical home values range from about $510,000 to $660,000. Clarke says it took three years to get a home here. "It's very sought-after, and the community is kept up very well."

Community Park at Grande Park offers the best fields in Plainfield.
An 83-acre park, an 839-acre preserve
There are various parks within the subdivision, but located in the center of it all, Community Park is the largest, at 83 acres. There are courts and fields for a wide selection of sports, a lake for fishing, a sledding hill and a playground.
Plainfield has historic downtown's Settlers' Park, complete with a lighted walking path along the DuPage River. Mather Woods offers 2 miles of trails and access to the river while Lake Renwick Preserve is over 800 acres.
Neighborhood togetherness, Plainfield and Oswego events
Clarke says the community brings the wow factor with some of its events. "Halloween is fun because everyone is out together. And Christmas is fantastic because everyone decorates the parkway with lights. It looks amazing." Community Park hosts 5Ks including the Ruff Run with a 1-mile Doggy Dash and Run the Crossroads, which had its inaugural run in 2023.
Nearby events include Plainfield's Hometown Irish Parade and Cruise Nights with classic cars. In Oswego, there's the Wine on the Fox festival, Venue 1012's summer series and Oswego Country Market on Sundays from June through September.
Backroads burgers, old-world pizza and axe-throwing
A drive of at least a few miles is required for necessities or a shopping whim. Some shops and eateries are about 4 miles east along U.S. Route 30. Backroads Burger & Bar serves saucy and savory classics, plus original creations. "We've been a neighborhood staple ever since opening," owner/operator Dave Harris says. "We're always happy to host you, morning, noon or night — after all, 'everything's better on the backroads.'"
In the same shopping center, Fat Ricky's has old-world-style pizza covered: cheese choices including cheddar, gorgonzola and fresh mozzarella, of course. For those looking to de-stress with some arm exercise, there's Axe Factor Throwing.
About a mile east past Route 30, an assortment of businesses and stores include Jewel-Osco and Meijer for groceries and Menards for home improvement goods.
Backroads Burger and Bar is perfect for grabbing a drink or dinner in Grande Park.

Close schools were part of the plan
As Grande Park was being developed, the plan called for an elementary and middle school campus to be built in a central location. "It's walkable from most homes," Clarke says. "But all the kids ride their bikes." Grande Park Elementary, graded B-plus by Niche, opened in 2007. Murphy Junior High opened in 2009 and has an A-minus grade. It's named for Oswego native Robinson Barr Murphy, the youngest man to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Clarke says most students move on to Oswego East High. It's been graded A by Niche and listed as the best public high school in Kendall County. Some kids living on the park side go to Plainfield North, also graded A, and No. 6 in Will County
Murphy Junior High School has challenging honors courses for students of Grande Park.
Oswego East High School is a highly rated public school located in Grande Park.
