About the community
A mature, mixed-housing Bartlett neighborhood with a lake theme.
Country Place is an established Bartlett subdivision on the DuPage County side of the village, north of Stearns Road and west of County Farm Road. It developed in phases from the early 1970s into the 1990s, blending vintage single-family houses with newer townhomes, and it carries a distinct water theme in its street names, Lakeside, Marina, Harbor, and Anchor among them. The character is quiet, mature, and family-oriented, with a grown-in tree canopy and an active homeowners association. Because it spans two eras of construction, buyers will find a genuine mix of 1970s detached houses and 1990s attached homes under one community name.

What it’s actually like to live here
Country Place suits buyers who want an established, walkable Bartlett neighborhood with mature landscaping and a genuine range of housing under one community name. The mix is a real advantage: a first-time buyer or downsizer can find an attached townhome at the community's attainable end, while a growing family can step up to a larger detached house with a yard, all served by the same parks, schools, and commuter access. The water theme and community open space give it more of an amenity-forward feel than a plain grid subdivision, and the DuPage-side location keeps residents close to strong county services and healthcare.
The honest tradeoffs come from the community's age and structure. Housing stock reaches back to the early 1970s, so many detached homes carry original-era systems, finishes, or floor plans, and buyers should budget for updates and read inspection reports carefully. Because the neighborhood blends detached and attached homes across different building eras and, in the townhome sections, separate associations, dues and coverage are not uniform, so it is essential to pin down the specific association, fee, and coverage for the exact home rather than assume a community-wide standard.
Weigh the DuPage tax load and commute honestly. Property taxes here sit in the upper part of the national spectrum, which is the tradeoff for the county's schools and services. Commuting downtown is realistic by Metra but is closer to an hour than a quick hop, and car access to the tollway network runs through arterial roads rather than a highway at the doorstep. For buyers who value suburban space, amenities, and a range of price points over a short-hop urban commute, that balance tends to work well.
Market trends
Why this market moves the way it does
Country Place trades on its range of housing, its commuter access, and its DuPage-side location. Because homes span the 1970s through the 1990s and mix detached and attached product, condition and home type separate one sale from the next far more than a single community-wide trend.
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.
- Housing mix
- Attainable townhomes at one end and larger detached homes at the other widen the buyer pool but mean you must compare like with like.
- Commuter access
- The Bartlett Metra station and the Route 59 and Lake Street corridors support steady demand.
- DuPage services
- The DuPage-side location keeps residents close to strong county services and healthcare, which supports value.
- Condition and era
- With stock reaching back to the 1970s, updated homes hold value while original-era ones lag.
- Association and dues
- Townhome sections have separate associations and fees, so dues and coverage factor into carrying cost and demand.
Real talk
Who shouldn’t buy here
Here is the honest version before you tour.
Housing stock reaches back to the early 1970s, so many detached homes carry original-era systems and finishes. Budget for updates and read the inspection report closely rather than assuming the community is uniform.
Dues and coverage are not uniform. The neighborhood blends detached and attached homes across separate associations, so confirm the specific association, fee, and what it covers for the exact home before you write an offer.
DuPage taxes sit in the upper part of the national spectrum, and the downtown Metra commute is closer to an hour than a quick hop. Verify the tax figure for the specific parcel and make sure the commute works for you.
One piece of advice
“Country Place gives Bartlett buyers a real range of housing under one name, from attainable townhomes to larger detached homes, on the DuPage side near the Metra station. Just confirm the assigned U-46 schools by address, pin down the specific association and dues for the exact home, and verify the DuPage tax figure before you commit.”

Your local agent
Joe knows Country Place
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.
