Subdivisions and suburban landscapes
Sprawling on the western fringes of the city, West Plainfield is largely comprised of residential subdivisions with the DuPage River meandering along its eastern boundary. With rural and suburban landscapes largely making up its visual appeal, the neighborhood is just south of Plainfield proper. “The vibrant downtown scene of Plainfield mirrors the charm and allure of the historic Route 66 towns of yesteryear,” says Bree Patterson-Wuest, Event Coordinator for the Plainfield Chamber of Commerce. “There are amazing restaurants, two breweries and a winery, and the area is easily walkable after parking.”
Downtown Plainfield has a variety of boutique shops, bars and restaurants.

Parks in and around the West Plainfield area
One of West Plainfield’s most unique attractions when it comes to getting outside is the Plainfield StoryWalk, a concept spanning parks across the country but located in Settlers Park here. Along with the park’s playground, tennis courts, baseball field and Richard A.
