A suburban haven for outdoor lovers
Anchored by the park that lends its name to the neighborhood, Hawthorne Hill is ideal for those who enjoy being outdoors. Several other recreational hubs are spread out throughout the community, each connected by a network of walking trails. The neighborhood also puts residents in direct proximity to everything they could need, allowing for convenience without sacrificing suburban comforts. “Although there isn’t a downtown area in Woodridge, you can easily get to downtown Naperville, Lisle and Downers Grove,” says Jill Petranek, a broker with Coldwell Banker Realty.
Lake Harriet Park contains one of Hawthorne Hill's two sizable lakes.
Residents can enjoy fishing in Lake Carleton of 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.
Home prices in Hawthorne Hill range from $136,000 to $550,000.
