About the community
Large mid-2000s homes on quarter-acre lots, feeding Neuqua Valley.
Timber Creek is a detached single-family subdivision in far south Naperville, tucked immediately south of 95th Street and east of Plainfield-Naperville Road. Lakewood Homes built it out through the mid 2000s across five recorded plats, producing roughly 240 to 250 homes on lots that run about a quarter acre. The character is move-up production luxury rather than custom estate: brick and siding elevations, three-car attached garages, full basements that were largely finished by the second owner, two-story foyers, and first-floor offices. One detail catches buyers off guard and matters a great deal. Despite the Naperville address and 60565 ZIP, Timber Creek is in Will County, not DuPage.

What it’s actually like to live here
Timber Creek is what south Naperville does best: a compact, fully built pocket of large mid-2000s houses where the daily rhythm is set by the school calendar. The subdivision is small enough that you learn the streets in a week, and the layout of curving lanes and courts off Timber Creek Lane keeps cut-through traffic out. Timber Creek Park sits in the middle of it, so the basketball hoop and the playground are a walk rather than a drive. Spring Brook Elementary is under a mile away, and the Gregory Middle and Neuqua Valley pipeline behind it is the reason most families end up looking here in the first place. Add the DuPage River corridor a mile east, with Knoch Knolls Nature Center, trails, and a paddling launch, and there is real outdoor life within a short bike ride.
The houses are built for a household that needs room. Three-car garages, full basements largely finished by now, first-floor offices that turned out to be prescient, front and back staircases in the larger plans, and enough bedrooms that a guest room and a home gym are normal rather than luxuries. Because these are production plans from a single builder, the streetscape has coherence: consistent setbacks, consistent scale, brick and siding elevations that have aged reasonably well. And with dues in the low hundreds per year, homeowners are not writing a meaningful monthly check to the association, which is a real advantage against newer Naperville communities that layer significant assessments on top of an already substantial tax bill.
The honest tradeoffs start with the tax bill. Will County Naperville carries one of the higher effective rates in the region, and on a house this size that is a serious line item in the monthly payment, one that buyers moving from outside Illinois consistently underestimate. The lots are ordinary: a median around a quarter acre means a lot of house on a not-especially-large yard, and side-yard separation is modest. There is no HOA pool, clubhouse, or gym, and while the nearby Breckenridge Estates Swim and Tennis Club is the practical substitute, it is a separate paid membership and it currently has a waitlist, so do not assume access. This is also car-dependent: nothing is walkable except the neighborhood park and the elementary school, and both BNSF stations are roughly five miles off, which means a park-and-ride commute. Finally, these are twenty-plus-year-old houses now, so roofs, HVAC, water heaters, and original kitchens are all reaching replacement age.
The questions buyers actually ask
Timber Creek FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Timber Creek. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- There is an association and the dues are unusually low for a community of this caliber, generally in the range of about $225 to $350 per year rather than per month. The management entity is recorded as Lakewood at Timber Creek. At that level the association is handling common-area items such as entrance landscaping and signage, common insurance, and stormwater detention areas, not lawn care or snow removal at individual homes, and there is no association pool or clubhouse. No published association budget or declaration was located, so request the current declaration and a paid assessment letter during attorney review.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $17,000 – $22,000 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.
- When was Timber Creek built?
- Lakewood Homes built the community between 2003 and 2006. Lakewood Homes 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.
- Is Timber Creek in DuPage County or Will County?
- Will County, Wheatland Township, despite the Naperville address and the 60565 ZIP that many people associate with DuPage. ZIP 60565 crosses the county line and Timber Creek falls on the Will side. This affects your assessor, your effective tax rate, your township office, and where you file an assessment appeal, so confirm it on the specific parcel you are buying.
- What school district is Timber Creek in, and which specific schools?
- Indian Prairie School District 204, not Naperville District 203. This matters because the two districts split Naperville. District 204's own published subdivision list assigns Timber Creek to Spring Brook Elementary at 2700 Seiler Drive, Gordon Gregory Middle School at 2621 Springdale Circle, and Neuqua Valley High School at 2360 95th Street. District 204 notes that its boundary materials are a general guide and asks buyers to confirm a specific address with the district before relying on an assignment.
- Who built Timber Creek and when?
- Lakewood Homes. The plats were recorded with Will County in 2002 and 2003 across five units, and the homes were built out primarily between 2003 and 2006. Marketed floor plans included the Ashford, Brentwood, Carrington, Hampton, Jefferson, Lafayette, Lancaster, Stratford, and Victoria. Because it is a single-builder community, the streetscape is consistent in scale and setback.
- What are the HOA dues and what do they cover?
- Dues are low, generally in the range of about $225 to $350 per year rather than per month, with the management entity recorded as Lakewood at Timber Creek. At that level the association handles common-area items such as entrance landscaping, signage, common insurance, and stormwater detention areas, not lawn care or snow removal at individual homes. Ask for the current declaration and a paid assessment letter during attorney review, since no published association budget or covered-services list was available.
- Is there a pool or clubhouse?
- Not one owned by the Timber Creek association. The neighborhood amenity is Timber Creek Park at 3323 Timber Creek Lane, a Naperville Park District park with playgrounds, basketball courts, and picnic shelters. Many residents join the Breckenridge Estates Swim and Tennis Club just north, which offers a non-resident family membership covering pool, tennis, clubhouse rentals, and swim and tennis teams. That club has a waitlist, so treat access as something to arrange rather than assume.
- What do homes cost here, and how is the market moving?
- Check the Market snapshot on this page rather than a fixed figure, since it pulls live from the MLS and shows current listings, recent closings, and how quickly homes are moving here specifically. In broad terms Timber Creek sits at the upper end of the south Naperville resale market: large mid-2000s homes on quarter-acre lots, with the Neuqua Valley attendance area doing much of the work on demand. Factor the Will County effective tax rate, generally in the low-to-mid 2 percent range of market value, into your monthly payment when you compare against DuPage-side Naperville alternatives.
- Who is the real estate agent for Timber Creek?
- Joe Keegan is the local licensed Illinois real estate broker who covers Timber Creek in Naperville, IL through Subdiview, a neighborhood-first home search for the Chicago suburbs and collar counties. Joe prices and negotiates from the live MRED sold comps for Timber Creek specifically, not national averages, and can help you buy or sell here. Reach Joe at 224-385-8779 or joe@joekeeganhomes.com.
Your local agent
Joe knows Timber Creek
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.
