About the community
An established 1990s neighborhood on the DuPage side of Bartlett.
Fairfax Silvercrest is a mature single-family neighborhood on the east side of Bartlett, in the DuPage County portion of a village that also spreads into Cook and Kane. The homes date to the early-to-mid 1990s wave that filled in eastern Bartlett, with an adjacent attached-home section (Fairfax Commons Silvercrest) sharing the name. It is a quieter, owner-occupied enclave that sits toward the upper tier of the local Bartlett market, close to the Route 59 corridor, the Bartlett Metra station, and an unusual amount of outdoor recreation.

What it’s actually like to live here
Fairfax Silvercrest suits a buyer who wants an established, quieter DuPage-side Bartlett address with 1990s construction and mature landscaping rather than new-build sameness. The homes are family-scaled, the interior streets are low-traffic, and the setting puts a genuinely unusual amount of recreation within a short drive: winter tubing and skiing at Villa Olivia, golf at two public courses, and thousands of acres of forest preserve and state-park trails to the northwest. For commuters, the Bartlett Metra station on the Milwaukee District West line is a real draw, offering a one-seat ride to downtown Chicago.
The honest tradeoffs are the ones common to this part of the collar counties. Property taxes are high, in the roughly two-percent-plus effective range typical of DuPage, and buyers moving from lower-tax areas should budget for that. Bartlett's split across three counties and multiple school attendance boundaries means school assignment must be verified address by address rather than assumed from the town name. And the housing stock is now around thirty years old, so mechanicals, roofs, and finishes vary widely by how each home has been maintained.
This is also a car-oriented suburban location outside a walkable downtown core. The Metra station and the Route 59 retail strip are close by car, but day-to-day errands generally mean driving. For buyers who want space, schools, recreation, and a rail commute option, that is an easy trade; for those seeking urban walkability, it is the main compromise.
The questions buyers actually ask
Fairfax Silvercrest FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Fairfax Silvercrest. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- The Fairfax Silvercrest name covers two adjacent products: a single-family detached section that appears to carry little or no mandatory monthly HOA, and an attached-home section (Fairfax Commons Silvercrest) that does carry a monthly townhome association assessment for common-area and exterior upkeep. Because dues and coverage differ by section, confirm the exact association, monthly figure, and what it covers on the specific home's disclosure.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $9,000 – $14,000 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.
- 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.
- What kind of homes are in Fairfax Silvercrest?
- Primarily 1990s single-family two-story homes, most in the roughly 2,300 to 3,600 square foot range, with an adjacent attached-home (townhome) section under the Fairfax Commons Silvercrest name that includes smaller floor plans.
- Is there an HOA and what does it cost?
- It depends on the section. The townhome section carries a monthly association assessment for common-area upkeep, while the single-family section appears to have little or no mandatory HOA. Confirm the exact association, dues, and coverage on the specific home's disclosure.
- What school district serves this community?
- Elgin Area School District U-46, per the Village of Bartlett, with Bartlett High School on Schick Road as the local high school. Because Bartlett spans three counties and multiple attendance boundaries, confirm the specific elementary and middle school for an address using the U-46 boundary locator.
- How is the commute to Chicago?
- The Bartlett Metra station on the Milwaukee District West line offers a one-seat ride to Union Station, typically around an hour on peak trains, with station parking. By car, Route 59 connects to I-90 and the Elgin O'Hare (I-390) to the north.
- What is there to do nearby?
- Quite a lot for the suburbs: Villa Olivia offers skiing, snow tubing, and golf, Bartlett Hills adds a second public course, and Pratt's Wayne Woods and James Pate Philip State Park provide a large corridor of prairie, wetland, and trails.
- What do homes cost and how's the market?
- Prices sit toward the upper tier of Bartlett's resale range and shift with the market, so check the live Market snapshot on this page for current pricing and activity rather than relying on a static figure.

Your local agent
Joe knows Fairfax Silvercrest
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.
