When you’re ready to leave city life behind and settle down in a beautiful suburban neighborhood, Novak Park is sure to impress. “We are getting a lot of people coming out of Chicago, and St. Charles is one of the destinations they’re going to,” says Marsha Wallace, a broker with Fox Vally Real Estate who has over 30 years of experience. In 2023, St. Charles was ranked on the “15 Most Charming Towns in Illinois” list by the magazine Trips to Discover.
