Hawthorne Hill
Mid-20th-century homes mixed with new construction
With cul-de-sac streets lined by narrow sidewalks, it’s not uncommon to see a neighbor going for a walk or bike ride through the community to reach one of the nearby parks. The quiet suburb primarily features a medley of mid-20th-century homes, including ranch-style, colonials and split-levels. Some Craftsman-style new construction has also been developed within the last five years. Prices for these standalone homes range from $285,000 to $799,000. “Homes in Woodridge are much more affordable than Naperville to the west, and you can get a lot more house for your money,” Petranek says. Spacious lawns, typically around a quarter-acre, are well-maintained and surrounded by groves of old-growth trees. Condos and townhouses with attached two-car garages provide another option for buyers and come with added amenities like lawn maintenance and snow removal. These properties are typically listed between $136,000 and $265,000.Highly rated Woodridge District 68 schools
Woodridge School District 68 serves students living in Hawthorne Hill. Many attend Meadowview Elementary, which is walkable from most homes in the neighborhood and earns an A-minus from Niche. Some students are also zoned for Edgeview Elementary or Willow Creek Elementary, each receiving B-plus ratings from Niche. Students later filter into A-minus-rated Thomas Jefferson Junior High School for seventh and eighth grades. At Downers Grove North High School, which gets an A rating from Niche, students can participate in one of the more than 50 clubs offered, including a ukulele club, e-sports or bass fishing.Exploring the trails at Hawthorne Hill Woods
Walking and biking trails weave through Hawthorne Hill Woods, a 71-acre green space that attracts residents and people from neighboring communities looking to get fresh air. There’s also an open play area for kids. On the other side of 71st Street is Castaldo Park, which connects to the trails in Hawthorne Hill Woods. Along with the walking pathways, the park features a 9-hole disc golf course, a playground and a sand volleyball court. Two small lakes are linked by a series of trails where many locals take their dogs for a walk. The reservoirs are also popular spots for fishing and ice skating in the winter. Residents can walk to the Woodridge Public Library toward the neighborhood’s southern end just off The Center Drive to browse the aisles for a new book to read or meet their neighbors at events like beach bingo, video game trivia or arts and crafts sessions.PACE bus stops link locals to surrounding cities
The neighborhood is nearly 6.5 miles east of downtown Naperville, which can be reached by taking Hobson Road. PACE bus stops along Hobson Road, Woodridge Drive, and The Center Drive give locals another option to navigate the surrounding cities, connecting them to both downtown Naperville and Downers Grove. The closest Metra stop is about 3.5 miles north of Hawthorne Hill. The Belmont stop connects to the BNSF Line, which runs west to Aurora and east to Chicago’s Union Station. Taking Interstates 290 and 88 for nearly 28.5 miles also links locals to the Windy City.Meet for drinks at Ike & Oak Brewing Company
Despite its suburban nature, Hawthorne Hill is highly connected to shopping and dining destinations because of its location near I-355 and Route 53. For groceries, there’s a Jewel-Osco and a Target nearby. A quick 2-mile drive along Route 53 will lead to the Cinemark Seven Bridges and several local restaurants. Clara’s is a family-owned Italian spot that’s been serving pizza and pasta to locals for nearly 40 years. Friends meet for craft brews and bar food on the patio at Ike & Oak Brewing Company, while Chef Soon Contemporary Sushi is a favorite for its unique maki rolls filled with ingredients like bacon salsa and strawberries.
