About the community
An established Bloomingdale lake community from the early 1970s.
Westlake is one of Bloomingdale's larger established neighborhoods, laid out around man-made lakes on the west side of the village in DuPage County. Built out mostly between 1970 and the mid-1970s, it is a mixed-density community of detached single-family homes plus pockets of townhomes and condos, with curving lakeside streets and mature trees. Its defining feature is water: street names like Edgewater Drive and Lakeshore Lane trace the lakes, and the 25-acre Westlake Park at the center offers a fishing lake, a walking trail, and sand volleyball. It reads as an approachable, family-oriented DuPage neighborhood with a range of price points and a central, well-connected location.

What it’s actually like to live here
Westlake is a settled, water-oriented DuPage neighborhood rather than a luxury or new-construction enclave. It draws move-up families, first-time buyers stepping out of condos and townhomes into detached homes, and long-tenured owners who bought in the 1970s and stayed. The mix of price points, from lower-priced townhomes and condos to larger single-family homes, means the neighborhood supports a range of budgets and life stages, which is part of why it reads as approachable and stable rather than exclusive.
Day to day, the appeal is the water and the location. The man-made lakes and the 25-acre Westlake Park give the community a genuine sense of place, with a fishing lake, a walking trail, and volleyball courts at the center rather than as an afterthought. Commuters are minutes from I-355 and the Milwaukee District West Metra at Roselle, and everyday shopping, groceries, and dining sit along the nearby Army Trail Road and Gary Avenue corridors. It is a quiet residential grid with mature trees and lakeside settings, close to everything without being on top of it.
The honest tradeoffs are the age of the homes, the taxes, and the split school districts. The housing stock is around 50 years old, so many homes will show updated systems while others still carry original kitchens, baths, or windows, and buyers should budget for modernization and inspect lakeside lots for drainage. DuPage property taxes are real money, with effective rates in the mid-2 percent range. And because Westlake crosses district lines, two families on nearby streets can be zoned to different elementary, middle, and high schools, so address-level verification is essential rather than optional.
The questions buyers actually ask
Westlake FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Westlake. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- HOA treatment depends on the home type. Detached single-family homes in Westlake generally have little or no mandatory master-HOA dues. The townhome and condo sections carry monthly association fees for common-area and exterior upkeep, and a separate, self-managed Westlake Townhouse Owners Association governs the attached-home portion with its own clubhouse, pool, and tennis. Confirm the exact association and dues for any specific property.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $6,500 – $9,500 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.
- 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 Westlake actually built around lakes?
- Yes. The subdivision was laid out around man-made lakes in the early 1970s, and the 25-acre Westlake Park at 307 Edgewater Drive has a fishing lake, a walking and exercise trail, and sand volleyball courts. Some homes have water views or lakeside settings.
- What will a home here cost?
- Recent MLS data shows a median sale price around $403,000 and a median list price around $369,000. Single-family homes generally sell higher than the townhomes and condos, and turnover is low, with roughly 5 active listings and about 25 closed sales in the past year.
- Is there an HOA?
- It depends on the home type. Detached single-family homes generally have little or no mandatory master-HOA dues, while the townhome and condo sections carry monthly association fees. A separate, self-managed Westlake Townhouse Owners Association governs the attached-home portion with its own clubhouse, pool, and tennis. Confirm the association and dues for a specific home.
- What schools serve Westlake?
- It depends on the exact address, because Westlake crosses district lines. Elementary and middle options include DuJardin Elementary and Westfield Middle in Bloomingdale District 13, or Winnebago Elementary and Marquardt Middle in Marquardt District 15. High school is Lake Park (District 108) or Glenbard East (District 87). Verify your specific address with the district before you rely on it.
- How old are the homes and what should I watch for?
- Most were built between about 1970 and 1974. Many have been updated, but plan to check the roof, HVAC, electrical service, and windows, and on lakeside lots look closely at grading and any water-intrusion history. Budget for modernization on homes that have not been renovated.
- How is the commute to Chicago?
- Reasonable for the western suburbs. The Milwaukee District West Metra line runs from the nearby Roselle station, about 24 miles to Union Station, and I-355 is a short drive east for driving commutes toward I-88 and I-290.

Your local agent
Joe knows Westlake
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.
