Southwest St. Charles sits between St. Charles and Geneva
Southwest St. Charles is a quiet residential area sitting between the quaint towns of St. Charles and Geneva, so residents have the best of both worlds. “St. Charles and Geneva are sister cities,” says Realtor Cory Jones with RE/MAX All Pro and St. Charles resident. “It’s hard to tell when you’re in Geneva and when you’re in St. Charles without the sign.” People in Southwest St. Charles have the peace and quiet of suburbia while being close to the shops and restaurants in both cities. As smaller towns, St. Charles and Geneva residents get to know their neighbors, creating a community connected by events and local businesses. “If I go out to dinner around here, I’m sure to know a handful of people,” Jones says.
Southwest St. Charles sits along the Fox River and is 45 miles west of Chicago.

Local restaurants in downtown St. Charles and Geneva

In downtown St. Charles, Mio Modo serves Italian cuisine in a warm, modern environment accented with golds and deep greens. The Jalapeño Grill offers Mexican fare featured in the Chicago Tribune. “Nighttime entertainment is great here,” Jones says. “There’s a place—the Arcada—that brings in some really cool music acts, and there’s tons of bars that you can walk to from one to the other.” In Geneva, The Local Burger serves classic American burgers and shakes but features a milkshake of the month with flavors like tres leches. For groceries, residents can drive just 1.8 miles down Randall Road or Lincoln Highway to stop at Meijer, Jewel-Osco or Costco.
