Cozy streets sidestep event-filled parks and fairgrounds
Wheaton's western areas north and south of Roosevelt Road offer a more residential reprieve without sacrificing any of the area's entertainment and amenities. Besides access to the city's Metra connections and downtown stretch brimming with local businesses, locals living on Wheaton's westward side are near parks and DuPage Event Center & Fairgrounds, which draw in visitors from all over Chicagoland.

Downtown Wheaton's plethora of local businesses
Big-name businesses like Target, Kohl's and Walgreens anchor the corner of Roosevelt and County Farm Road, with more options farther south. For the most part, however, Wheaton residents veer towards shopping from their neighbors. "The Downtown Wheaton Association puts on a lot of events drives traffic to local businesses, and they work to keep franchises out of the downtown stretch for the most part," says Brooke Oswald, Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, Chicago who lives and works in Wheaton. "They close down Hale Street and put up a huge tent for restaurants so locals can dine outside." Visitors can shop for ethically sourced home decor from Amante Marketplace before stopping for a burger and bourbon at The Burger Social. After heading home, they can order fresh coffee straight to their door from I Have a Bean—or check out the other cafes brewing downtown before their morning commute.

Enjoying Cream of Wheaton and the DuPage County Fair
As the DuPage County seat, Wheaton has also been home to the county's incredibly popular Event Center and Fairgrounds for 68 years. Families look forward to the DuPage County Fair each July, which is complete with a Ferris wheel, animals, exhibits and vendors. They find themselves at the fairgrounds many other times throughout the year, whether they bring their contributions to the springtime Recycling Extravaganza, watch the boxcars at the Midwest Train Show, or shop by candlelight at the holiday fair and Christmas market. Meanwhile, neighbors catch up under tents and live music blares during Cream of Wheaton.
Wheaton's visible development progression
Wheaton's high-rise condominiums, businesses, and historic homes are mostly concentrated in the downtown area. As locals head west of the center, they see a progression to tree-shaded cul-de-sacs and smaller side streets. "One of the things I love about selling here is that you can see where the town started and then spread out," Oswald remarks. "Several neighborhoods and subdivisions were built in the 1980s and '90s, and you can see that in the Cape Cods, ranchers and colonials." Compact areas with tight sidewalks neighbor subdivisions where driveways stretch across long yards, granting privacy aided by mature foliage, gardens and stately landscaping. Save for the prestigious enclave of Muirfield Circle—where custom-built homes with elegant brick facades, gazebos and close Prairie Path access sell for $1.1 to $1.4 million—homes here range between $235,000 for a condo or townhouse along Roosevelt Road to $635,000 for a Cape Cod with an attached garage.

Muirfield Circle’s custom-built homes are going for $1.1 to $1.4 million in West Wheaton.

Wheaton's unified, highly-rated school district
Wheaton students are zoned for Community Unit School District No. 200. "All schools from early childhood through high are within one district, and a lot of resources are shared between the schools," explains Oswald, a member of the Citizens Advisory Committee established to keep residents in the know about district activities. Wheaton families choose from options like Madison Elementary School and Emerson Elementary School before graduating to Monroe Middle School or Edison Middle School; all four earn an A from Niche. Older kids finish strong at either Wheaton North High School or Wheaton Warrenville South High School. Known to locals as "North" and "South," these choices— along with St. Francis High School, a popular private institution—receive an A-plus from Niche.
Emerson Elementary School receives an A from Niche.

Wheaton Park District: Hard at work
Whether they live north or south of Roosevelt, residents are within walking distance of neighborhood parks and a short drive from larger expanses, all maintained by an active park district. The Illinois Prairie Path bridges Wheaton's two halves with a scenic walk or bike ride. Graf Park's popular playing fields and playground sit across the tracks from Lincoln Marsh, a diverse ecosystem with boardwalks posted across murky waters. Bobcats, white-tailed deer and more await at Cosley Zoo, a Wheaton staple open year-round. And at over 16,000 yards, the Chicago Golf Club hasn't left Golf Digest's top 100 rankings since 1971.
The Illinois Prairie Path belongs to W. Wheaton's park district and is accessed at Geneva Rd.

Taking the Union Pacific West Line
Wheaton is home to two stations on Metra's Union Pacific West Line. "It also has good proximity to highways for commuters, with I-88 from east to west and I-355 running north to south," says Oswald. "You can be at either airport in about an hour." Westward locals are closer to the Wheaton stop downtown, which runs directly to the Ogilvie Transportation Center in Chicago, about 30 miles away. Proximity to Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital and Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital means locals don't have to leave Wheaton for care.
Marionjoy Rehab Hospital offers care and careers to those who live in West Wheaton.
Residents of West Wheaton can easily commute to Chicago downtown via Metra.
