About the community
An established, attainable Naperville neighborhood built around its lakes.
Country Lakes is an established residential neighborhood in northwest Naperville in DuPage County, south of Diehl Road and west of Route 59. It was developed over roughly two decades, with the core of construction running through the 1980s and 1990s, and it mixes detached single-family homes with townhomes and some condominiums. Neighborhood lakes give the community its name and its character, and the namesake Country Lakes Park anchors it with open green space and a fishing lake. It is generally positioned as one of the more attainably priced established areas within Naperville, and it feeds into the well-regarded Indian Prairie School District 204.

What it’s actually like to live here
Country Lakes suits buyers who want the Naperville address, schools, and commute without the premium of the city's newer or larger-lot subdivisions. It is a mature, settled neighborhood, with established trees, sidewalks, neighborhood lakes, and a community park that give it a quiet, family-friendly and dog-friendly feel. The mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and condos means it works for a range of buyers, from first-time owners and young professionals to families and downsizers who want a manageable home in a strong district.
The location is a genuine strength. Being minutes from the Route 59 Metra station, one of the busiest commuter stops in the region, makes it practical for downtown Chicago commuters, and the surrounding Route 59 corridor puts everyday shopping, dining, and services within a short drive. I-88 access adds easy reach to the wider suburbs and the corporate corridor.
The honest tradeoffs come with the age and structure of the neighborhood. Much of the housing reflects 1980s and 1990s construction and floor plans, so some homes will want updating compared with newer Naperville builds. The Route 59 corridor's convenience comes with traffic and commercial bustle rather than a secluded setting. HOA structure and amenity access vary by section, so what one neighbor pays and enjoys may not match the home next door, and buyers should confirm the specific association for a given home. And as with all of Naperville, property taxes are meaningful and should be budgeted carefully.
The questions buyers actually ask
Country Lakes FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Country Lakes. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- How much is the HOA?
- townhomes and condos are $225 per month.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- There is no single experience here, dues depend on the housing type and sub-association. Townhome and attached sections carry monthly dues that typically cover exterior and common-area maintenance, landscaping, snow removal, and shared amenities, while detached single-family homes may have little or no master dues. Confirm the specific association, current dues, and inclusions for any individual property, since Country Lakes, Enclave at Country Lakes, and Trails of Country Lakes are separate associations.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $5,000 – $9,000 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.
- What school district serves Country Lakes?
- Indian Prairie School District 204, not Naperville District 203. Naperville is split between the two districts, and boundaries within 204 vary, so confirm the exact elementary, middle, and high school for a specific address using the district's boundary lookup.
- What kinds of homes are in Country Lakes?
- A mix of detached single-family homes, townhomes, and some condominiums, built mainly in the 1980s and 1990s, so sizes and styles vary widely from compact attached units to larger single-family homes.
- Is there an HOA and what does it cost?
- It depends on the home. Attached and townhome sections carry monthly dues that generally cover common-area maintenance, landscaping, snow removal, and shared amenities, while detached homes may have little or no master dues. Confirm the specific association, current dues, and inclusions for any individual property.
- How is the commute to Chicago?
- Strong for the suburbs. The Route 59 Metra station on the BNSF line is about a five-minute drive and offers direct trains to downtown Chicago, and I-88 is close for driving.
- Does the neighborhood really have lakes and a park?
- Yes. Water features run through the community, and Country Lakes Park, a Naperville Park District park on Genesee Drive, adds a fishing lake, open fields, trails, and courts that are free and open to the public.
- What are prices and the current market like in Country Lakes?
- Country Lakes is one of the more attainable established areas within Naperville. For accurate, up-to-date pricing, inventory, and market conditions, see the live Market snapshot on this page rather than any static figure.

Your local agent
Joe knows Country Lakes
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.
