About the community
A quiet, District 204 single-family neighborhood on far east Aurora.
Pheasant Creek is an established single-family neighborhood on Aurora's far east side, in the DuPage County portion of the city near Eola Road and north of US Route 34. It was built by Pulte Homes in the mid-to-late 1980s, with curbed, sidewalk-lined streets, a few cul-de-sacs, and a small neighborhood lake and park. This is a settled, move-in-era community rather than new construction, and it is a genuinely different place from the Pheasant Creek condo community in Northbrook. Its biggest draw is a location that feeds the sought-after Indian Prairie District 204 schools while staying toward the attainable end of the market for detached homes.

What it’s actually like to live here
Pheasant Creek is the kind of quiet, tree-softened 1980s subdivision that appeals to buyers who want a District 204 address without a new-construction price tag. The streets are walkable and low-traffic, several homes back to the neighborhood lake or the little park, and the overall feel is settled and family-oriented rather than flashy. For a first home, a growing family, or a downsizer who still wants a yard, the value proposition is straightforward: a well-located detached home feeding into strong Indian Prairie schools, with Metra, Fox Valley Mall, and I-88 all a short drive away.
Day to day, the location is the amenity. The Route 59 corridor puts groceries, big-box retail, Fox Valley Mall, and a wide range of dining within minutes, and the BNSF Route 59 station gives a real rail commute into the city. The neighborhood lake and park keep everyday recreation close, and Naperville's parks, golf, and riverwalk are an easy drive east.
The honest tradeoffs are the ones common to homes of this age and area. These are mid-1980s houses, so many will show original or first-generation kitchens, baths, mechanicals, and windows unless a prior owner updated them; budget for cosmetic and system refreshes and read inspection reports closely. Room sizes and some floor plans reflect 1980s tastes compared with newer open-concept builds farther west. And proximity to the Route 59 retail spine is both the neighborhood's biggest convenience and its main compromise, since traffic on Route 59 and Ogden can be heavy at peak times.
Market trends
Why this market moves the way it does
Pheasant Creek trades on schools and location: a settled 1980s detached-home neighborhood in the Indian Prairie District 204 attendance area at an attainable price point. Updated homes and lake or park lots are what stand out.
What holds value
The fundamentals matter more than the cosmetics here. Buyers want floor plan, lot, and basement, in that order. Cosmetics are the tiebreaker.
- District 204 schools
- Access to one of the region's most sought-after districts is the durable, repeatable draw that supports demand from families.
- Attainable detached homes
- Positioned toward the more affordable end of the east Aurora and District 204 detached-home market, which widens the buyer pool.
- Lake and park lots
- Homes backing to the neighborhood lake or park carry a setting premium within the subdivision.
- Updated homes stand out
- Because the stock is mid-1980s, renovated kitchens, baths, and mechanicals differentiate a home and support resale.
Real talk
Who shouldn’t buy here
Here is the honest version before you tour.
These are mid-1980s homes, so expect some with original kitchens, baths, windows, and mechanicals, and budget for updates unless a specific home has already been renovated. Some floor plans and room sizes reflect the era rather than today's open-concept layouts.
Aurora spans several counties and school districts. This neighborhood falls in DuPage County and Indian Prairie District 204, not the West Aurora or East Aurora districts, so confirm county, school assignment, and the tax rate for the exact address rather than assuming they match a neighbor.
Proximity to the Route 59 corridor and I-88 is the neighborhood's biggest convenience and its main compromise. Traffic on Route 59 and Ogden can be heavy at peak times, so drive the routes you would actually use before you commit.
One piece of advice
“Pheasant Creek is a strong pick for buyers who want an attainable detached home feeding Indian Prairie District 204, with a neighborhood lake, Metra, and I-88 all close. Just budget for updates on the mid-1980s homes, confirm the county, schools, and tax rate by address, and test the Route 59 commute at rush hour. Do that and it is a lot of school district and location for the price.”
The questions buyers actually ask
Pheasant Creek FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Pheasant Creek. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $8,000 – $10,500 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 Pheasant Creek built?
- Pulte Homes built the community between 1985 and 1989. Pulte Homes stopped new construction in 1989, 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.
- Is this the same Pheasant Creek as the one in Northbrook?
- No. This Pheasant Creek is on Aurora's far east side near Eola Road and Route 34, a single-family neighborhood built by Pulte in the mid-to-late 1980s. The Northbrook Pheasant Creek is a separate condominium community in the north suburbs.
- What county is Pheasant Creek in, Kane or DuPage?
- This neighborhood is in the DuPage County portion of Aurora in the 60504 area, not Kane County. Aurora straddles multiple counties, so always confirm the county on the specific parcel record before relying on it for taxes or schools.
- What schools does Pheasant Creek attend?
- It is in Indian Prairie Community Unit School District 204. Records point to McCarty Elementary, a District 204 middle school, and Waubonsie Valley High School, but boundaries can shift by street, so verify the exact assignment for your address on the district's official lookup.
- Is there an HOA, and what does it cost?
- Available data indicates no mandatory HOA dues for the single-family homes. Confirm on the specific listing, since the neighborhood lake and park are community features rather than a dues-funded private club.
- How is the commute to Chicago and the highways?
- The BNSF Metra Route 59 station is the nearest commuter rail into downtown Chicago, and I-88 is a short drive via the Route 59 or Eola interchanges. Route 59 and US 34 also put Fox Valley Mall, groceries, and restaurants within minutes, at the cost of some arterial traffic at peak hours.
- What do homes cost and how is the market right now?
- Pheasant Creek tends toward the more attainable end of the east Aurora and District 204 detached-home market, but pricing and inventory move constantly. Check the live Market snapshot on this page for current prices and what is available now.

Your local agent
Joe knows Pheasant 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.
