Privacy and seclusion in Cranston Meadows Park
In a quieter section of Chicagoland out in Kane County, Cranston Meadows Park combines privacy and seclusion with outdoor recreation. Between two forest preserves and close to recreational golf and equestrian clubs, Cranston Meadows Park residents are in no shortage of activities. Cranston Meadows Park’s winding streets and secluded cul-de-sacs distance residents from the hustle and bustle of commercial areas. When residents want to branch out beyond the community, downtown South Elgin is just a few miles east along the Fox River. “South Elgin has everything for the community—they have swimming, baseball, soccer. Everything for the kids,” says broker Maureen Hale with Suburban Life Realty. “My grandson’s six, and I’ve met all sorts of people at soccer games.” Further, Cranston Meadows Park scores a 1 out of 10 on the CAP Index Score for overall crime, compared to the national average of 4.
Many homes are situated on cul-de-sacs in St. Charles' Cranston Meadows Park neighborhood.

Horseback riding and golfing around Cranston Meadows Park
In the heart of the neighborhood, Cranston Meadows Park is a flat open space where kids can run or play on the playground. Some homes back the park, while others are within walking distance. On the northern side of Cranston Meadows Park, Otter Creek Forest Preserve offers walking trails through restored wetlands and prairies. The Canadian National Railroad bisects the preserve, but underpasses allow pedestrians to cross safely. Along 616 acres of rolling hills, Bowes Creek Country Club’s public golf course offers five sets of tees to accommodate golfers at different skill levels. Originally founded in 1835, the Historic Corron Farm showcases the area’s rural and agricultural history with wagon rides through the fields or tours of the historic homes, though many people also come to the site to walk their dogs along the grass paths between fields. Just to the west, Wayne Equestrian Center offers riding lessons to riders as young as eight.

Supermarkets and restaurants along Randall Road
The shops and restaurants on South Randall Road serve communities throughout the South Elgin and Saint Charles areas, but Cranston Meadows Park residents are just 1.5 miles away for increased convenience to this hub. “That area is a quarter mile from Randall Road, which has enormous benefits,” says Dominic Levita, real estate agent with Providence Residential Brokerage. “You have retail and restaurants. Everything is along there.” Over here, residents can stop in supermarkets like Jewel-Osco, Target and Angelo Caputo’s Fresh Markets. JuRin offers Japanese fare, with sushi, ramen and bento boxes on the menu, along with hibachi grills throughout the dining area. The Village Squire combines Greek and American cuisine with menu items like saganaki, gyros and souvlaki alongside burgers and cheese curds.

South Elgin's summer car show and local farmers markets
When looking for a farmers market, Cranston Meadows Park residents might have to drive a little farther than those closer to the bigger towns. “Elgin has the farmers markets, Saint Charles has the farmers markets,” Hale says. “South Elgin—not really.” The farmers markets in both cities run from June to October on Friday afternoons, offering fresh fruit and baked goods. However, South Elgin has its own community events. Once a month in the summer, Car Show Cruise Nights encourages those with vintage and antique cars to bring them out for the community to see. To the west of the community, Historic Corron Farm hosts Prairie Fest every August with wagon rides around the grounds, live music and raffles.
