Chicago suburb known for its natural scenery
Woodridge, a village that's home to about 33,000 residents, is mainly within DuPage County. Woodridge is somewhat new compared to other Chicago suburbs in that most homes were built after 1960. Natural scenery and outdoor activities are a big part of the community. It was named for its elevated, sylvan setting on a ridge above the DuPage River and the Des Plaines Valley.
According to Jason Bacza, a broker with Realty Executives Elite, homebuyers choose Woodridge because of its proximity to major roads and popular shopping destinations. "It's 30 to 40 minutes outside the city of Chicago, and major interstates are within five to 10 minutes," he says. "People like the availability of shopping and dining nearby." Bacza and his wife, Christine Wilczek, also a broker, have over $1 billion in combined sales and are top agents in Lemont, about seven miles from Woodridge.
Shopping and dining in Woodridge
Multiple shopping areas in Woodridge, including Woodward Boughton Commercial Center, Woodgrove Festival and The Grove Shopping Center, give residents tons of variety. Restaurants feature a variety of cuisines, from Lithuanian to Italian to Vietnamese. If a meal with a movie is in order, Hollywood Blvd Cinema, an eatery and theater, is the place to catch a first-run or classic film.
Bacza says that those living in the southern part of Woodridge often shop at the Promenade at Bolingbrook. "It's like an indoor-outdoor mall with a lot of dining and shopping, including grocery stores, all within a few blocks.

Split-levels, Colonial Revivals and Tudor Revivals
The village was incorporated in 1959 after being started by a housing developer. As a result, much of the housing stock has a consistent feel, with styles including split-levels, Colonial Revivals and Tudor Revivals. Single-family homes sell from about $350,000 for a three-bedroom with about 1,000 square feet to $800,000 for a five-bedroom with four times the room. Townhouses and condominiums, many from the 1970s, provide maintenance-free living and are priced from about $120,000 for a one-bedroom unit of less than 800 square feet to $440,000 for two-level living and 2,000 square feet of space.
