About the community
An established, large-lot Naperville neighborhood on the DuPage side.
Century Hill is a mature single-family neighborhood in the northern section of Naperville, on the DuPage County side of the city, north of Maple Avenue and west of Naper Boulevard with both entrances off Chicago Avenue. It holds roughly 300-plus homes across about 19 streets and was built out mainly from the mid-1960s through the early 1990s, so the housing stock and streetscape read as settled rather than new. A defining trait is that it has only two entry points, which keeps cut-through traffic low, and it sits in an unincorporated pocket of Naperville served by city water and sewer. The draw is large lots, mature trees, District 203 schools, and proximity to downtown Naperville.

What it’s actually like to live here
Century Hill appeals to buyers who want an established, low-turnover Naperville neighborhood with room to spread out. The large lots, mature tree canopy, and two-entrance street design create a quiet, residential feel that newer, denser subdivisions cannot easily replicate. Families are drawn by the District 203 schools and the walk-and-bike access to Seager Park, the DuPage River corridor, and the regional trail network, while the short distance to downtown Naperville means the Riverwalk, restaurants, and the Metra station are all close at hand. It reads as a settled, community-oriented place with an active homeowners association and long-tenured residents.
The honest tradeoffs are the ones common to mature Naperville subdivisions. Because much of the housing dates to the 1960s through the early 1990s, some homes are original or only lightly updated, so buyers should budget for kitchens, baths, mechanicals, roofs, and windows that may be due for renewal, and should factor in the cost difference between a move-in-ready rebuild and an as-is original. Naperville's DuPage-side property tax rate is high relative to national norms, which is the price of the schools and services and should be underwritten realistically into monthly carrying costs.
The unincorporated status is a detail worth understanding. It can mean a somewhat different taxing and services picture than a home inside the city limits, and buyers should confirm exactly which services, code enforcement, and any association obligations apply. For most buyers, the combination of location, lot sizes, schools, and proximity to downtown outweighs these considerations, but they are worth diligence rather than assumption.
The questions buyers actually ask
Century Hill FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Century Hill. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- There is a Century Hill Homeowners Association with modest dues, reported on the order of roughly fifty dollars a month or less. As an older, largely unincorporated subdivision, the association functions primarily as a community organization rather than a full amenity-and-management HOA, with basic items like neighborhood park space and street lighting cited. Whether membership and dues are mandatory versus voluntary is not fully confirmed from governing documents, so verify dues, coverage, and any covenants with the association and in the seller's disclosures.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $12,000 – $18,000 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 Century Hill in District 203 or District 204?
- District 203, Naperville Community Unit School District 203. Century Hill is on the DuPage County side of Naperville, which is District 203 territory, not the southwest District 204 area. Confirm the specific schools for your parcel with the district, since attendance boundaries can vary by address and change over time.
- What is the character and age of the neighborhood?
- It is a mature, established neighborhood of roughly 300-plus homes built mainly from the mid-1960s to the early 1990s, known for large lots, mature trees, an eclectic mix of split-levels, ranches, colonials, and updated traditionals, and only two entrances off Chicago Avenue that keep through-traffic low.
- What do homes in Century Hill cost?
- Century Hill is an upper-tier Naperville neighborhood, and prices move with the market and with how updated a given home is. Rather than quote a figure that goes stale, check the live Market snapshot on this page for current active listings and recent sale activity.
- Is there an HOA, and what does it cover?
- There is a Century Hill Homeowners Association with modest dues, reported at roughly fifty dollars a month or less. It functions mainly as a community association, with basic neighborhood items like park space and street lighting cited rather than a full amenity package. Whether dues are mandatory is not fully verified from governing documents, so confirm dues, coverage, and any covenants with the association and in the seller's disclosures.
- How is the commute to Chicago?
- Strong. The Metra BNSF line at the nearby Naperville station offers express service to Chicago Union Station, and the neighborhood is close to I-88 and I-355 for driving. Local Pace bus service connects the area to the train station.
- What does the unincorporated status mean for a buyer?
- Century Hill is an unincorporated DuPage pocket of Naperville served by city water and sewer. That can mean a slightly different taxing-district and services mix than a home inside the city limits, so confirm which services, code enforcement, and any association obligations apply to the specific address.

Your local agent
Joe knows Century Hill
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.
