Big lawns and university culture
Unlike the DuPage County villages surrounding it, Wheaton, Illinois is a city with many of the advantages and few of the disadvantages that come with urban living. The latter may be because it's also a college town. Wheaton College, a powerhouse in Christian education, sits in the middle of the city and, as any university will, brings energy and amenities to the surrounding area. Southeast Wheaton is across town from the university. It's a more upscale area that benefits from the university nearby but also has the distance to feel like its own suburb.
"extraordinarily low inventory"
"The big draw to the neighborhood is the schools, especially with Whittier Elementary being walkable from many of the houses there," says Amy Kehoe, Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Chicago. "The houses are really mixed. You'll find anything from between $300,000 to a million dollars." For under $350,000, home buyers will find four-bedroom midcentury split-levels with detached garages or medium- to large-sized lots. At under $500,000, three-bedroom brick ranch-style homes on half-acre lots in the classy Farnham subdivision are available. At the upper end of the price bracket, $1.25 million will buy a five-bedroom neo-colonial home built this century on a large lot with amenities such as a circular driveway. But inventory is slim, says Lynda Wehrli, a broker with Christie's International Real Estate who's been in the local real estate market for over 20 years. "We're in an extraordinarily low inventory situation right now, but it seems to be a trend. Everybody is moving to the western suburbs of Chicago."
At Southeast Wheaton, you'll find a mix of older homes and newer custom-built homes.
