Volo’s village layout balances between homes and businesses
The Volo community has been around for over 160 years. Since its creation, it has held a focus on its people through community events and support for local businesses. While this village is no longer dominated by the blacksmith shops and taverns of old, 40% of its space is dedicated to commercial use. The other 50% and 10% are designated for residential and open space, respectively.
Volo may be small, but it offers a variety of housing options.
The Volo Museum offers many different attractions in Volo, Illinois.

Older homes near the core, while new builds expand into open land
Local homes are mostly Colonial Revivals, Bungalows with Craftsman influence or townhouses built in subdivisions. “The closer to the city, the older the homes get,” says Broker Sarah Leonard, Owner of Legacy Properties, a Sarah Leonard Company, and Realtor with over 15 years of experience. While some of these homes date back to the 1950s, Volo is seeing new construction further away from the city center, where there is more land to build. “With more land and opportunities to build, there are new homes for a reasonable price,” Leonard says. While list prices can range from $199,000 to $573,000, "The general price for this area is closer to $250,000 to $260,000," Leonard says. The homeowners association fees vary by subdivision and can cost between $40 to $335 monthly. Residents appreciate having their own driveways, attached garages and yard space for children to play fetch with their dogs. They can easily visit and walk with neighbors within these communities because of the paved cement sidewalks woven throughout their subdivisions.
The homes in Volo sit neatly in rows with young trees between them.

Residents enjoy skiing trails, nature tours and lake excursions
Locals can hop in their car, or if they live in the Lancaster Falls subdivision, bike or walk over to the Lancaster Falls Park and join their friends. They can try out the playset and shoot hoops on the basketball court. Nearby Volo Bog State Natural Area provides an entire day of outdoor adventure. At this National Natural Landmark, there are cross-country skiing loops that range in distance from 0.9 miles to 2.8 miles. The park also offers interpretative programs, including one for bird walks, where a tour guide will provide an overview and insight regarding the various species that call the Landmark home. Fox Lake is “A pretty popular place to be in the summer, where you’ll find people out pretty much every weekend,” Leonard says. She explains that the drive to the lake is around five miles, so it is convenient for Volo Residents who cannot live on the water but still want to enjoy it.
With scenic nature, the backyard in Volo is an ideal place to call home.
