About the community
An established District 203 neighborhood in south Naperville.
University Heights is an established single-family neighborhood in south-central Naperville, on tree-lined streets off Naperville Boulevard just south of 75th Street. Built out mostly from the early 1980s into the early 1990s by Anden Corp., it is a mature, settled community of midsize, competitively priced homes rather than new construction. Its biggest draw is the assignment to highly regarded Naperville Community Unit School District 203, feeding Naperville Central High School, at a mid-market Naperville price.

What it’s actually like to live here
University Heights suits buyers who want an established Naperville neighborhood inside District 203 without the price of new construction or the largest estate homes. The population skews slightly older and more settled than Naperville overall, reflecting long-tenured owners alongside younger families moving in for the schools. It reads as a classic move-up neighborhood: three-to-five-bedroom homes on manageable lots, mature trees, quiet streets, and quick access to the 75th Street services corridor.
Day-to-day life centers on schools, parks, and the short drive to downtown Naperville's Riverwalk, restaurants, and the BNSF Metra station for Chicago commuters. Families value the District 203 assignment and Naperville Central, the proximity to Edward Hospital and its 75th Street health center, and the retail and dining within a few minutes. It is a car-oriented suburban neighborhood, not a downtown walk-to-train location.
The honest tradeoffs are the age of the homes and the taxes. Most were built about 40 years ago, so buyers should budget for updates such as roofs, mechanicals, kitchens, and windows, and expect a range of renovation levels across listings. Property taxes are high, as they are throughout Naperville and DuPage County, which raises the true monthly cost of ownership. Lots are modest at around a fifth of an acre, and the neighborhood offers established charm rather than resort amenities.
The questions buyers actually ask
University Heights FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping University Heights. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $6,000 – $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.
- When was University Heights built?
- Anden Corp. built the community between 1980 and 1993. Anden Corp. stopped new construction in 1993, so every sale today is a resale.
- What's the typical closing timeline?
- 30 to 45 days from accepted offer to keys. Cash deals can close in two weeks. Conventional financing is usually closer to 45.
- What school district is University Heights in, 203 or 204?
- Naperville Community Unit School District 203. That is confirmed across multiple sources and consistent with the geographic split, University Heights is in central-east Naperville, not the western District 204 area. It feeds Naperville Central High School.
- Which specific schools serve University Heights?
- Most commonly Meadow Glens Elementary, Kennedy Junior High, and Naperville Central High School, all District 203. Some edge addresses may feed Ranch View Elementary or Madison Junior High, so confirm the exact assignment for a specific address on the District 203 boundary map.

- There is no meaningful mandatory single-family HOA. Established sources list dues at $0 to a nominal amount at most. Always verify on the specific listing.

- When were the homes built and how big are they?
- Mostly 1980 to 1993, built by Anden Corp., typically 3 to 5 bedrooms and roughly 1,000 to 3,340 sq ft on lots around a fifth of an acre.
- What are property taxes like?

Your local agent
Joe knows University Heights
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.
