About the community
An upscale, amenity-rich master plan in southwest Naperville.
Tall Grass is an upscale, master-planned community in southwest Naperville, in the Will County portion of the city (ZIP 60564), generally south of 95th Street and west of Route 59. It is a community of roughly 1,080 single-family and townhome residences organized around ponds, walking trails, and a central amenity campus with a clubhouse, pool, and tennis. The neighborhood was developed from the late 1990s into the mid-2000s, with a median build year around 2002. Its signature draw is that highly rated Indian Prairie District 204 schools sit right inside the community.

What it’s actually like to live here
Tall Grass reads as a forever-home neighborhood for families who want space, top-rated schools, and an active, amenity-rich HOA without leaving the Route 59 conveniences behind. The homes are mature move-up houses with the square footage, high ceilings, and now well-established landscaping that buyers coming out of starter homes are looking for. Daily life for many households orbits the clubhouse and pool on Deering Bay Drive: summer mornings belong to the Tall Grass Lightning swim team, and the HOA keeps a steady calendar of coffees, book groups, and social clubs that give the place a real neighborhood feel.
Location is a practical selling point. The Route 59 corridor puts groceries, big-box retail, and restaurants minutes away, the Metra BNSF Route 59 station makes a Chicago commute feasible, and Edward Hospital plus District 204 schools round out the everything-close appeal. The four-mile greenway trail, ponds, and connected parks mean recreation is built into the layout rather than an afterthought.
The honest tradeoffs are cost, taxes, and home age. Will County Naperville property-tax bills are steep, commonly $14,000 or more a year and often resetting higher after a purchase, so budget for them alongside the mortgage. HOA dues add a monthly cost that is modest for single-family owners but meaningful for townhome owners. The Route 59 corridor that makes life convenient is also congested at peak times, and the housing stock is now around 20 years old on average, so many homes show early-2000s finishes and may need kitchen, bath, or mechanical updates.
The questions buyers actually ask
Tall Grass FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Tall Grass. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Tall Grass operates through a master homeowners association that owns and runs the shared amenities: the clubhouse, the community pool and aquatic area, tennis courts, ponds, common landscaping, entrances, and trails. Reported fees across the community range from roughly $52 to $803 per month depending on property type, with single-family owners toward the low end and townhome owners higher because their dues also cover exterior maintenance, lawn care, common insurance, and snow removal. Confirm the exact current single-family assessment with the listing disclosure.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $14,000 – $18,000 per year, depending on home size and value. Will 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 Tall Grass in Naperville or Aurora, and which county?
- It is in Naperville (ZIP 60564), in the Will County portion of the city, in the southwest part of town. Some District 204 schools and the Route 59 Metra station carry Aurora addresses nearby, but the homes themselves are Naperville.
- What schools will my kids attend?
- Indian Prairie District 204, with Fry Elementary and Scullen Middle School serving essentially the whole neighborhood. For high school, verify by address: Scullen feeds both Neuqua Valley and Waubonsie Valley, so your specific home determines which one. Confirm with the District 204 boundary lookup.

Your local agent
Joe knows Tall Grass
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.
