A rural setting nort far from the happenings of Downtown Saint Charles
Rainbow Hills' residents enjoy a primarily rural, unincorporated residential landscape despite being situated just 3 miles northwest of downtown Saint Charles. West Main Street, the area’s throughway, runs through the neighborhood, providing quick trips to the unique shops and local restaurants downtown. Residents can expect to run into friendly neighbors at home alongside short drives to the grocery store, the area’s only aquatic park and the Kane County Fairgrounds, all of which sit less than 2 miles from the community. “It’s an older established neighborhood with quiet streets,” says Douglas May, Realtor with HomeSmart, who has 11 years of experience in the suburbs of Chicago. “It’s very neighborly, and everyone knows each other.”
Rainbow Hills is a friendly suburban community with a primarily rural feel.
Rainbow Hills is one of subdivisions belonging to St. Charles.

The New Traditional and ranch-style homes of Rainbow Hills
Roughly a third of the community resides on the northern side of West Main Street. However, its residential landscape remains the same, aside from the Renaux Manor subdivision. The subdivision offers a homeowners association and 21st-century New Traditional-style homes atop 0.25 acres, which share space with community sidewalks. The remainder of the community takes on a more rural feel, with pockets of trees separating homes from one another, offering more privacy along the average 0.75-acre lots. However, running into a neighbor out and about is not uncommon. “I’ve seen plenty of residents outside walking the community and taking care of their lawns,” May says. “Neighbors wave to each other as they walk down the street.” Homes in these parts of the community are mainly ranch styles, with a handful of varying styles like Dutch-Colonial and split-level styles dotted throughout. Potential homebuyers can expect a price range from $405,000 to $735,000, depending on size and condition.
In Rainbow Hills, split-level homes make up most of the residential home styles.
At Rainbow Hills, mid-sized homes have brick and stone details and sit on single lots.

Though admission comes with a fee, visitors can bring their own food and drinks before catching thrills on the Salamander Slides and wading in the Turtle Creek Lazy River.
