The suburban community of Waterfall Glen is home to one of DuPage County’s largest forest preserves and functions as a hub for the greater Village of Woodridge’s culturally diverse community. Its quiet residential landscape reflects the winding trails of Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve, where residents make frequent visits. “It’s very diverse and is a great community to meet neighbors, where people are always out walking dogs,” says Linas Meilus, a resident and broker with Linas Real Estate. Nearby restaurants, which sit close to Interstate 55 directly north, offer a vast array of cuisines, while seven different local houses of worship serve the area.

Stopping in at the falls of Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve
The wooded trails of Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve comprise most of the community and include access points close to the neighborhood’s residential pockets. “It’s one of the best forest preserves in DuPage County,” Meilus says. “There are three different parking areas, so you can walk a different section of the park every time you go and avoid the rush hour of bikers and runners in the morning.” The preserve wraps around the Argonne National Laboratory, where visitors can stop at Rocky Glen Waterfall or Sawmill Creek Bluff Overlook while appreciating the vast wildlife spread throughout. A day outside can also include 1-mile trips south to The Forge Adventure Park & Ziplines. Alongside zipping from tree to tree, visitors try their shot at archery, seek thrills along the towering rope course or rent a kayak to take out on The Quarry Lake.

The streets of Waterfall Glen run through the community’s northeastern corner as well as its western side, divided by the campus of the Argonne National Laboratory, a federal science research center located within the forest preserve. Despite existing 4 miles apart, on either side of the forest preserve, each side of the community presents a similar residential landscape, where tall oak and pine trees tower over neighborhood streets that lack sidewalks but have signs warning motorists to mind kids playing in the street. Similarly, mid-to-late 20th-century ranch and split-level-style homes fill the community, alongside occasional New Traditional styles from the last 25 years. The homes generally cost between $250,000 and $800,000, though larger new-construction homes and exceptionally large properties can reach up to $1.5 million. Several condos and townhomes are also available throughout the neighborhood, ranging in price from $120,000 to $500,000, depending on size and condition.
