Perfect for commuters
The Stonehedge subdivision sits on the south side of Wheaton on the northern border of the Danada Forest Preserve. The subdivision is one of the older ones in the area and is only 13 blocks wide. It was built in 1977. Stonehedge is in the 17th best school district in a state with over 400. Two local Metra train stations, plenty of shopping, burgeoning restaurant scenes in Wheaton and Naperville, excellent schools and access to over 3,000 acres of protected nature preserves have made Stonehedge a desirable option for Chicago-area families and commuters.

Inventory is slim
"Stonehedge doesn't have lots as big as Arrowhead next door, but some people don't want the upkeep of a bigger yard," says Amy Kehoe, Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Chicago. "Arrowhead is closer to the high school, and Stonehedge is closer to shopping. Both are great locations, though." Home sale prices in the neighborhood range from $400,000 to $800,000. Amberwood Estates is the first new Stonehedge subdivision in decades and occupies a sliver of land paved with a horseshoe-shaped street in the neighborhood's northeast corner. Razed lots a third of an acre large to build a custom home list for under $400,000. For $550,000, there are large late 20th century neo-colonials. Four-bedroom new traditional homes with amenities like outdoor firepits and professional landscaping list for under $800,000. Inventory, however, is almost nonexistent. Lynda Wehrli, a Realtor with Christie's International Real Estate and 20 years of experience, says, "We're in a moment of extraordinarily low inventory."
