About the community
A mid-2000s Batavia neighborhood with wetland lots, minutes from Randall Road.
Windemere sits in the far northwest corner of Batavia, immediately south of Fabyan Parkway and about seven tenths of a mile west of Randall Road. It was platted and built out in phases across roughly 92 acres, with homes dating from about 2002 through 2006, the last big pre-recession wave of Fox Valley move-up development. The neighborhood is mostly large detached two-story homes, with a smaller section of attached townhomes along Cambridge Drive. Twenty-plus years on, the parkway trees have filled in and the landscaping has settled. There is no clubhouse, no pool, and no gate: what Windemere offers is lot quality, square footage, and position, including homes that back to protected wetland and to an internal walking path system.

What it’s actually like to live here
Windemere is the kind of neighborhood people move to when they have outgrown a starter home and want space without leaving the Fox Valley. The homes are large, the lots are wider than what newer construction offers, and the streets are quiet because they do not connect to anything except each other. Twenty-plus years of growth means mature parkway trees and settled landscaping rather than the raw look of a new subdivision. Several homes back to preserved wetland and to the internal path system, which gives the interior of the neighborhood a genuinely green feel and lets kids get around on foot and bike without crossing an arterial.
The practical draw is the corner of the map it occupies. Fabyan Parkway is at the north edge and Randall Road is under a mile east, which puts Geneva Commons, the grocery and big-box corridor, and Delnor Hospital all inside a ten-minute drive. Downtown Batavia, the Riverwalk, and the Fox River Trail are a few minutes further southeast, and Fabyan Forest Preserve with its Dutch windmill and Japanese garden sits just north. For commuters, the Geneva Metra station on the Union Pacific West line is under three miles away, with the Aurora BNSF station a reasonable alternative for anyone who wants the faster express run into the city. Between the Batavia and Geneva park district systems, families in this pocket end up with a wide menu of programming.
The honest tradeoffs are real. First and most important, this subdivision straddles a school district line, and where a given house falls decides whether children attend Batavia schools or Geneva schools. That affects the tax bill as well as the classroom, and it is the first thing to verify before writing an offer, because listing sheets get it wrong regularly. Second, Batavia has no Metra station of its own and no direct I-88 interchange, so both the train and the tollway involve a drive, and Randall Road backs up at rush hour and on weekends. Third, the neighborhood mixes detached homes with a townhome section, so the assessment experience and the price band are not uniform across it. Fourth, these are early-2000s houses, and the finishes, mechanicals, and roofs are at the age where a buyer should budget for updates. Finally, there is no clubhouse, pool, or gate here. The low detached-home assessment buys common area upkeep, not a lifestyle package.
The questions buyers actually ask
Windemere FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Windemere. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Windemere's assessments are two-tiered. Detached single-family homes carry a low monthly assessment covering common area items such as insurance, entry features, the detention and wetland areas, and the internal path system. The attached townhome units along Cambridge Drive carry a substantially higher monthly fee that also covers exterior maintenance, lawn care, and snow removal. There is no clubhouse or pool. Confirm current dues and request the association's disclosure documents, budget, and reserve study before writing an offer.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $10,000 – $15,000 per year, depending on home size and value. Kane 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.
- Is Windemere in the Batavia or the Geneva school district?
- Both, and this is the first question to ask about any specific house. A district boundary runs roughly east to west through the middle of the subdivision. Homes on the south side, including Sennett Street, Hamilton Way, and the southern part of Branson Drive, are in Batavia Public School District 101 and map to Grace McWayne Elementary, Rotolo Middle School, and Batavia High School. Homes on the north side, including Cambridge Drive, Andrews Drive, Skyline Drive, and the northern part of Branson Drive, fall in Geneva Community Unit School District 304. Confirm the assignment for the exact address with the district rather than relying on a listing sheet, which is frequently wrong on this point.
- When was Windemere built?
- Homes date from roughly 2002 through 2006, built out in phases across about 92 acres. It is a mid-2000s move-up subdivision rather than new construction, so expect open floor plans from that era along with finishes and mechanical systems that are at the age where updates start to come due.
- Is there an HOA and what do the dues cover?
- Yes, and the structure is two-tiered. Detached single-family homes carry a low monthly assessment covering common area items such as insurance, entry features, the detention and wetland areas, and the internal paths. The attached townhome units along Cambridge Drive carry a much higher monthly fee that also covers exterior maintenance, lawn care, and snow removal. There is no pool or clubhouse. Ask for the current dues figure and the association's disclosure documents, budget, and reserve study during attorney review.
- Are all the homes single-family?
- No. The majority are detached two-story homes with 3 to 5 bedrooms, but there is a townhome section along Cambridge Drive with attached units, some with first-floor primary suites. Any description of Windemere as purely single-family will be contradicted by live listings, so check the property type on the specific home you are considering.
- What do homes in Windemere cost?
- Pricing moves with the market, so check the Market snapshot on this page, which pulls live from the MLS and shows what is actually active and what has recently closed here. In broad terms, the detached homes sit in a move-up band at or above the middle of Batavia's market, with the largest walkout-basement plans reaching the upper tier, while the townhome units sit noticeably lower.
- How do people commute, and what are taxes like?
- Batavia has no Metra station of its own, so most rail commuters drive about two and a half miles to the Geneva station on the Union Pacific West line into Ogilvie, and some use the Aurora Transportation Center on the BNSF line about seven miles south for faster express service. There is no I-88 interchange in Batavia either; the nearest access is via Orchard Road or Farnsworth Avenue, roughly six to eight miles south. On taxes, Kane County effective rates generally run in the low-to-mid 2 percent range of market value, and because Windemere straddles a school district line the composite rate is not uniform across the subdivision. Pull the parcel record from the Kane County Treasurer rather than extrapolating from a neighbor.

Your local agent
Joe knows Windemere
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.
