Ferson Creek is situated on the northwest side of the city of Saint Charles. This riverside community is encompassed by beautiful natural wonders and swaths of lush land, which give homeowners the opportunity to enjoy ample green space and secluded luxury. Residents enjoy access to an attractive downtown district, community parks and top-rated schools.
Stately homes are a highlight of the housing options. They rest behind mature trees and large thickets, allowing passersby only a mere peek at their beauty. Magnificent Tudors and exquisite modern builds with brick and stone details sit on large, green lots. These homes come equipped with meticulously maintained lawns, elongated driveways and multiple-car garages. Smaller ranch-style homes are also available. Prices range from about $425,000 to $1.5 million-plus.
Students can attend top-rated schools under the direction of the St. Charles Community Unit School District No. 303, which earns an A-plus from Niche.
“Saint Charles has a great park system,” says Christine Currey, Real Estate Broker/Owner of The Currey Koertgen Team with Re/Max All Pro. “A resident favorite is Pottawatomie Park, which is right in the heart of downtown.” This popular greenspace is nestled against the majestic Fox River and is just three miles from Ferson Creek. “There’s so much to do. If you just want to walk along the water or take a boat ride, there’s plenty to choose from.” The picturesque park also offers mini golf, or you can take a stroll with your leashed pup and take in the panoramic views of the calm water. If you’re into intense hiking, biking and horseback riding, LeRoy Oakes Forest Preserve is where you want to visit. The preserve, known locally as Horlock Hill, has 9 acres of loop and out-and-back trails. Additionally, there is a youth camp area for a weekend of outdoor fun. For an up-close and personal interaction with livestock, Primrose Farm offers a chance to feed the baby sheep and goats, milk the cows, or try some homemade ice cream, made with milk sourced right on the farm.
“A great perk to living in Saint Charles is the downtown area, which is beautiful,” says Currey. “They have antique shops and great restaurants.” Currey’s favorite food spot is Flagship on the Fox. “I have three kids, so it’s a good spot to go to with my family, but it’s also a great spot to get together with friends.” Flagship is a causal, yet chic spot with vibrant décor. Order a tower of onion rings or bang bang shrimp and ask to be seated on the patio for the ultimate alfresco dining experience. If sophistication is more of your style, Balmoral and Mio Modo give an upscale yet inviting culinary experience. But if you’re in the mood for some craft beer, Riverlands Brewing Company has an impressive drink menu comprised of locally sourced and high-quality ales and lagers.
