About the community
An established master-planned community around a forest preserve and lake.
Oakhurst is a master-planned community in the DuPage County portion of Aurora, generally south of New York Street and east of Eola Road, wrapped around the Oakhurst Forest Preserve and its 55-acre Lake Patterson. The single-family core was built primarily by Kimball Hill Homes beginning around 1989, with later phases into the early 2000s, and it is organized as a master association over several distinct neighborhoods plus sub-associations for townhome and condominium enclaves. The character is mature, family-oriented, and upper-middle, with full tree canopy, a central community park, a private pool club, and an unusual amount of protected green space right at the doorstep.

What it’s actually like to live here
Oakhurst reads as a mature, family-first suburb rather than a brand-new subdivision. Because the single-family core went up mostly in the 1990s, the streetscape has grown into itself, with full tree canopy, established landscaping, and a park at the center that anchors weekend soccer, tennis, and pool time at the Oaks Recreational Club. The immediate adjacency to the Oakhurst Forest Preserve and Lake Patterson is the standout perk, since few Aurora subdivisions put a 55-acre lake, a fishing and kayaking shoreline, paved and natural trails, and a winter sledding hill within a short walk of the front door.
The location is practical for commuters and errands alike. I-88 and Route 59 are close, the Route 59 Metra station gives a one-seat ride to downtown Chicago on the BNSF, and the Route 59 and Fox Valley Mall corridor covers most shopping and dining. School reputation is a major draw, as Indian Prairie District 204 is one of the more sought-after suburban districts in the western suburbs, which supports steady demand from families.
The honest tradeoffs are age, taxes, and structure. This is established housing stock, so many homes carry 1990s and early-2000s finishes and floor plans, and some will need kitchen, bath, roof, or mechanical updates that a buyer should budget for. DuPage County property taxes are high relative to national norms, which raises the true monthly cost even when the price looks reasonable. And the community is layered, with a master association plus multiple sub-associations, so attached-home buyers in particular should read the governing documents and dues structure for their specific enclave rather than assume a single community-wide rule set.
The questions buyers actually ask
Oakhurst FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Oakhurst. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Oakhurst is governed by the Oakhurst Community Association (a master association) plus sub-associations for the townhome and condominium enclaves, so dues vary widely by neighborhood and home type, roughly the low double digits a month for single-family master-only up to the mid $400s for attached homes. Master-level dues generally support common areas, entrance landscaping, and the community park, while attached-home enclaves pay more for exterior and common-area maintenance. The private Oaks Recreational Club pool and clubhouse is a separate membership facility. Confirm the current assessment and inclusions with the property manager for the specific neighborhood or unit.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $8,000 – $13,000 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 Oakhurst built?
- Kimball Hill Homes (later phases by Neumann Homes) built the community between 1989 and 2000. Kimball Hill Homes (later phases by Neumann Homes) stopped new construction in 2000, so every sale today is a resale.
- 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.
- Where exactly is Oakhurst and who built it?
- It is in eastern Aurora, in the DuPage County part of the city, generally south of New York Street and east of Eola Road, next to the Oakhurst Forest Preserve and Lake Patterson. The single-family core was built primarily by Kimball Hill Homes from around 1989, with later phases into the early 2000s.
- What schools serve Oakhurst?
- Indian Prairie School District 204. The community lists Steck and McCarty elementary schools, Fischer Middle School, and Waubonsie Valley High School, with some sources noting Granger Middle for parts of the community. Because District 204 boundaries can split Oakhurst, confirm the assigned schools for the specific address.
- What amenities does the community have?
- A central community park with tennis, basketball, volleyball, baseball, and soccer, the private Oaks Recreational Club pool and clubhouse, and immediate access to the Oakhurst Forest Preserve and Lake Patterson for fishing, kayaking, trails, and sledding.
- Is there an HOA and what does it cover?
- Yes. Oakhurst has a master association plus sub-associations for townhome and condo enclaves, so dues vary by neighborhood and home type. Master dues generally support common areas, entrance landscaping, and the community park, while attached-home enclaves pay more for exterior maintenance. Confirm the current assessment and inclusions with the property manager for the specific neighborhood.
- How is the commute and location?
- Strong for the western suburbs. I-88 and Route 59 are close, the busy Route 59 Metra station on the BNSF gives a direct ride to downtown Chicago, and the Route 59 and Fox Valley Mall corridor covers shopping, with Rush-Copley and Edward hospitals nearby.
- What do homes cost and how is the market?

Your local agent
Joe knows Oakhurst
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.
