A quiet and friendly suburb with daily amenities sitting close by
Running along Interstate 355 to the east is the small suburban community of Sunnydale. Due to its size, coming in contact with neighbors is common and a big part of the community’s appeal. “It is a quiet, very tight-knit community,” Shares Nate Williams, a resident who works at Woodridge North KinderCare, located in the neighborhood. “Everyone knows everyone and helps one another out.” Adding to its suburban feel are the area's well-ranked schools and shopping centers to both the north and south and a popular namesake park at its center. “Things move here,” says Jill Petranek, a broker with Coldwell Banker Realty Naperville, who has over 10 years of selling experience in the area. “You don’t grid-locked like you do in Chicago.”
Sunnydale is located in the west suburbs of Chicago.

The homes of Sunnydale
Mature oak trees dot its residential streets, providing canopies of shade for residents in certain areas. This, paired with its wide streets, allows for carefree walks through the neighborhood. “People are usually out and about walking the neighborhood,” shares Williams. These strolls along the community’s sidewalks mid-to-late 20th-century homes from split-level and tri-level styles to Colonial Revival and ranch-style homes. These homes feature modest front yards with minimal landscaping, typically a tree or two, and manicured shrubbery lining parts of the exteriors. A pocket of condos sits on the south end of the residential pocket and ranges in price from $200,000 to $240,000. Depending on size and condition, those purchasing a free-standing home can expect a range from $350,000 to $500,000.

Woodridge traditions
“The community does big events like a carnival in the summer,” says Williams about Woodridge Jubilee. “Locals love to show up to that.” The weekend-long is where residents can compete in the Fishing Derby or Beer & Donut Dash while enjoying live local music and catching thrills while jumping from one carnival ride to the next. Oktober Fest has been an annual event for 5 years and hosts the typical happenings of the German holiday, like beer and attendees dressed in Lederhosen, but it features a beer stein-holding contest and pretzel toss.
