About the community
A maintenance-free, creek-and-pond community in central DuPage.
Mill Creek is a low-maintenance residential community on the north-central side of Addison, in DuPage County, threaded by Westwood Creek and a series of small ponds. It grew in phases, an original attached section from the early 2000s followed by newer Meritus Homes phases branded The Enclave at Mill Creek and The Townes at Mill Creek, with the newest homes still selling today. The appeal is straightforward: newer or new construction with a maintenance-free structure, wrapped in open space and golf-course street names next to the Links and Tees course, about a mile and a half from I-355. Note that this Addison community is separate from the larger master-planned Mill Creek in Geneva and Batavia, in Kane County.

What it’s actually like to live here
Mill Creek is built for buyers who want a newer home without giving up a central, established-suburb address. The draw is maintenance-free or low-maintenance living wrapped around Westwood Creek and a handful of ponds, with sidewalks, streetlights, and a golf course at the edge of the neighborhood. For downsizers and empty-nesters, the Meritus ranch plans deliver true single-level living, and for busy professionals the townhomes take lawn care and snow shoveling off the weekend to-do list.
The location is genuinely convenient, roughly a mile and a half from I-355 and close to I-290, the Lake Street retail corridor, and DuPage's job centers, so daily errands and commutes are easy. Because the community grew in phases across two decades, buyers will find a mix of an older attached section and brand-new construction, and product type, HOA dues, and finishes differ between them, so it pays to know which phase a listing belongs to.
The honest tradeoffs are worth stating plainly. This is a suburban, car-first setting with no Metra station in Addison itself, so rail commuters drive to a station in a neighboring town. It is not an amenity-center community; the amenities are the creek, ponds, open space, and proximity to golf rather than a pool or clubhouse. And like the rest of DuPage, property tax rates run high by national standards, which buyers should factor into monthly cost alongside the HOA. For a buyer who values convenience and a lock-and-leave lifestyle, the combination is compelling.
The questions buyers actually ask
Mill Creek FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Mill Creek. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- How much is the HOA?
- Single-family homes are $230 per month.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Monthly HOA dues on listings run roughly $180 to $285 depending on home type and phase, structured around maintenance-free living and typically covering lawn and landscape care, snow removal, and common-area and pond upkeep. Confirm the current assessment and exact inclusions for the specific home.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $8,000 – $11,000 per year, depending on home size and value. DuPage County assessor records are the source of truth. Happy to pull a specific bill on any home you're considering.
- When was Mill Creek built?
- Meritus Homes (current phases) built the community between 2002 and 2026.
- What's the typical closing timeline?
- 30 to 60 days from accepted offer to keys. Cash deals can close in two weeks. Conventional financing is usually closer to 60.
- Is Mill Creek in Addison the same as the big Mill Creek in Geneva and Batavia?
- No. This is a separate, smaller community in Addison, in DuPage County, not the large master-planned Mill Creek in Kane County. They share a name only.
- Who builds the newer homes and what types are available?
- The current phases, The Enclave at Mill Creek and The Townes at Mill Creek, are built by Meritus Homes. Expect single-level ranch homes and two-story homes in The Enclave and maintenance-free townhomes in The Townes, plus resale units in an older attached section from the early 2000s.
- Is there an HOA and what does it cover?
- Yes. Dues are billed monthly and structured around maintenance-free living, typically covering lawn and landscape care, snow removal, and common-area and pond upkeep. Confirm the current amount and exact inclusions in the association disclosure before you buy, since figures vary by phase and home type.
- What schools serve Mill Creek?
- Addison School District 4 for K-8 and DuPage High School District 88, with Addison Trail High School for grades 9 to 12. Aggregator data points to Wesley Elementary and Indian Trail Junior High, but assignments are boundary-based, so confirm the exact elementary and middle school for your address with the district.
- How is the commute?
- Mill Creek is about a mile and a half from I-355 via Army Trail Road, with I-290, Route 53, and Route 64 close by. Addison does not have its own Metra station, so rail commuters typically drive to a station in an adjacent town on the Milwaukee District West or Union Pacific West line.
- What do homes cost and how is the market right now?
- Pricing runs in the newer-construction, upper-middle band for Addison and shifts with home type, phase, and inventory. Rather than rely on a stale number, see the live Market snapshot on this page for current pricing and activity.

Your local agent
Joe knows Mill Creek
Most agents will list anything. I focus on the places I actually know, and the things that move value here don't show up in the MLS write-up: which streets and buildings hold demand, what the HOA or assessments really cover, how the comps read once you account for condition and location, and where buyers consistently want to be.
When you're ready to tour or list, you want someone who has read the last 50 closed comps in this specific market, not a national average, and can tell you what they actually mean for your price. That's how I work. Text or call any time, and I'll give you a real take, not a brochure.
