About the community
A quiet, established 1990s enclave in eastern Darien.
Darien Club is an established single-family subdivision in eastern DuPage County, east of Fairview Avenue and south of 63rd Street toward Cass Avenue. Its homes were built mainly from the early 1990s into the early 2000s, placing it in Darien's move-up-home era, and the neighborhood is defined by curving streets, cul-de-sacs, mature trees, and a governed homeowners association that actively maintains the ponds, fountains, and entrance monuments. It reads as a private, well-kept residential setting with quick highway access.

What it’s actually like to live here
Darien Club appeals to buyers who want space and a settled, low-key suburban setting without moving to the far exurbs. The homes are larger 1990s and early-2000s family houses on manicured lots, and the neighborhood reads as quiet and well kept: curving streets and cul-de-sacs keep through-traffic down, mature trees shade the sidewalks, and the association clearly invests in the shared landscaping, ponds, and entrances.
Location is a real strength for commuters and errands alike. I-55 and I-355 are minutes away, so downtown Chicago, the western suburbs, and the airports are all reachable, and everyday shopping along 75th Street and Cass Avenue is close. The tradeoff is transit: Darien has no Metra station, so rail commuters drive to Westmont or Downers Grove and park, which is manageable but not walk-to-the-train convenient.
The other honest tradeoffs are worth naming. This is a governed HOA with an active architectural-review process, which protects curb appeal but means less freedom to change exteriors on a whim, and the amenity package is passive, ponds and landscaping rather than a pool-and-clubhouse campus. Most important for families, school assignment is not uniform across the neighborhood, so the specific schools a given home feeds into should be verified before falling in love with an address.
The questions buyers actually ask
Darien Club FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Darien Club. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Darien Club has a mandatory homeowners association, the Darien Club Owners Association, professionally managed by Oak and Dale Properties. Recent dues run about $725 per year, billed in two installments, and fund common-area landscaping, the retention ponds and their fountains, entrance monuments, common-area lighting, and general upkeep, along with an architectural review process. Confirm the current assessment with the association.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $18,000 – $30,000 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.
- Is there an HOA and what does it cost?
- Yes. The Darien Club Owners Association is mandatory, managed by Oak and Dale Properties. Recent dues run about $725 per year, billed in two installments, and fund common-area landscaping, the ponds and fountains, entrance monuments, and shared upkeep. Confirm the current amount with the association.
- What kind of homes are in Darien Club?
- Detached single-family homes built mainly in the 1990s into the early 2000s, generally larger, with four-plus bedrooms, attached garages, and full basements in a 1990s suburban-traditional style, many since updated by owners.
- What schools would my kids attend?
- It depends on the exact address. The neighborhood sits near several district boundaries, so different parcels may fall in Darien District 61, Downers Grove District 58, or Cass District 63 for grade school, and Downers Grove South (District 99) or Hinsdale South (District 86) for high school. Verify with the district before you buy.
- Does Darien Club have a pool or clubhouse?
- The association's materials describe ponds, fountains, landscaping, and entrance upkeep rather than a private pool or clubhouse. Some listing sites show generic pool or gated icons that are not confirmed, so assume passive common-area amenities unless the association states otherwise. Public parks are nearby through the Darien Park District.
- How is the commute? Is there a train?
- Highway access is excellent, with I-55 and I-355 minutes away. There is no Metra station in Darien, so rail commuters drive to the BNSF Line stations in Westmont or Downers Grove for trains to downtown Chicago.
- What are property taxes and home prices like here?
- Property taxes in this part of DuPage County generally run an effective rate of roughly 2.0 to 2.3 percent of market value, varying by the exact taxing districts and exemptions for each home, so review the actual bill for any property. For current pricing and market activity, see the live Market snapshot on this page.

Your local agent
Joe knows Darien Club
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.
