Between Woodridge and Lisle
In the northern part of the village of Woodridge, about 30 miles west of Chicago, is the neighborhood of Summerhill Park, named after one of the parks in the neighborhood. “The village is known for its parks, and the National Arbor Day Foundation has recognized it as a Tree City U.S.A. for the number of trees planted,” says Melissa Nowak, real estate agent and managing broker at Ridge Realty and Associates with about 20 years of experience. The northern part of this neighborhood may have a Lisle address as the neighborhood straddles the north side of Woodridge and the south side of Lisle.
Summerhill Park is a peaceful place to go for a stroll.

Multiple neighborhood schools
The school system is a big draw to the neighborhood - some are close. “Especially elementary schools, a couple are right in the neighborhood,” Nowak says. “They also tend to have smaller enrollment.” Even for those living in the northern part of the neighborhood in the Lisle School District, a quality school is nearby. Willow Creek Elementary School has a little over 300 prekindergarten through sixth-grade students and a student-teacher ratio of 12-to-1. The school has a B-plus overall grade on Niche. Lisle Elementary is bigger, with about 750 students, and gets an A overall rating. Other schools in the Woodridge chain include Thomas Jefferson Junior High School, with an A-minus Niche grade and a 12-to-1 student-teacher ratio. The school has seventh and eighth graders who can start to explore sports like basketball, softball and swimming. Downers Grove North is commonly called North High School, and it receives an A and has a 96% graduation rate.
Thomas Jefferson Middle School is the primary middle school in Woodridge.
Downer Grove North High School serves students from ninth through twelfth grade.

Summerhill Park neighborhood named after one of the parks
With the entrance at the end of a cul-de-sac, Summerhill Park is laid out linearly, with about 7 acres of space. Near the entrance is the playground and green space that’s nearby. A walking trail connects to other portions of the park, including a basketball court to the east. Further east, the trail leads to 63rd Street Park, with an additional 4 acres, another playground and a multi-purpose open play area. The trail connects to the longer Southern DuPage County Regional Trail that starts in the nearby suburb of Aurora and ends 10 miles to the south at the Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve in Lemont. Hobson Corner Park is at the corner of Hobson Road and Woodridge Drive and has a centerpiece splash pad, open daily from Memorial Day through Labor Day. There are also four tennis and pickleball courts. Meadows Swim Club is a private swimming area offering swim lessons, and a competitive swim team called the Meadows Dolphins. The pool can also be rented out for birthdays and special events.
