About the community
A settled mid-2000s neighborhood on Montgomery's southwest side.
Fairfield Way is an established, primarily owner-occupied subdivision on the southwest side of the Village of Montgomery, in Kane County, near the Blackberry Creek corridor. Built largely in the mid-2000s by Kennedy Homes, it pairs two-story single-family houses with an attached townhome section, giving it a mix of move-up and lower-maintenance options on sidewalk-lined streets. It reads as a quiet, family-oriented Fox Valley neighborhood with its own park rather than a resort-amenity community, close to Orchard Road, US Route 30, and the retail corridors toward Aurora and Oswego.

What it’s actually like to live here
Fairfield Way suits buyers who want more house and yard for the money than newer Fox Valley construction typically delivers, in a settled mid-2000s neighborhood that has grown into itself. The trees are filling in, the streets are quiet and sidewalk-lined, and the on-site park gives families a playground and open space without getting in the car. The townhome section broadens the buyer pool, giving first-time buyers and down-sizers an entry point alongside the move-up single-family homes, which keeps the community economically mixed.
The tradeoffs are the honest ones for this corner of Montgomery. This is a car-dependent, commuter-belt location: there is no Metra stop in town, so a Chicago or I-88-corridor commute means driving to a BNSF station or onto the tollway, and rush-hour travel on Orchard Road and Route 30 can be real. Property taxes are meaningful, as they are across Kane County, and should be underwritten carefully rather than assumed.
The single most important item to confirm is school assignment. Montgomery is carved among several districts, and listing data maps this subdivision to Yorkville CUSD 115 even though it is not one of the two districts most people associate with the village. Any family buying for the schools should confirm the exact assigned elementary, middle, and high school in writing before they commit.
The questions buyers actually ask
Fairfield Way FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Fairfield Way. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- The obligation depends on the home type. The attached townhome section carries a monthly association fee (reported roughly in the low-to-mid $200s per month) that typically funds exterior upkeep, landscaping, and snow removal on the shared product, while the single-family homes generally carry little or no monthly association fee. A modest master or special-service-area charge for common-area and detention-pond upkeep is common in subdivisions of this era. Confirm the exact dues, what they cover, and any SSA charge on the specific property.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $7,000 – $11,000 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.
- When was Fairfield Way built?
- Kennedy Homes (per subdivision records) built the community between 2003 and 2006. Kennedy Homes (per subdivision records) stopped new construction in 2006, so every sale today is a resale.
- 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 kinds of homes are in Fairfield Way?
- Mostly two-story single-family homes built by Kennedy Homes in the mid-2000s, generally 3 to 5 bedrooms with two- to three-car garages, plus a section of attached townhomes that offer a smaller, lower-maintenance option.
- When was the neighborhood built and who built it?
- The core was built largely between about 2003 and 2006, with some later phases. The builder of record is Kennedy Homes, whose model line defines the subdivision and survives in some street names.
- Is there an HOA, and what does it cover?
- It depends on the home type. The attached townhomes carry a monthly association fee that typically covers exterior upkeep, landscaping, and snow removal, while the single-family homes generally carry little or no monthly HOA. Confirm the exact dues, coverage, and any special-service-area charge on the specific property.
- What schools serve Fairfield Way?
- Listing data commonly maps the neighborhood to Yorkville Community Unit School District 115. Because Montgomery is split among multiple districts block by block, confirm the exact assigned elementary, middle, and high school by address with the district and the Village before relying on it.
- How is the commute and highway access?
- It is a driving-oriented location. Orchard Road is the main route north to I-88, and US Route 30 handles east-west travel. There is no Metra station in Montgomery, so the nearest boarding points are the BNSF Line's Route 59 station and the Aurora Transportation Center, both a short drive away.
- What do homes cost and how is the market?
- Fairfield Way is positioned as attainable, space-for-the-money family housing for the Fox Valley, but rather than quote a figure that goes stale, check the live Market snapshot on this page for current list prices, recent sales, and how quickly homes are moving.

Your local agent
Joe knows Fairfield Way
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.
