About the community
A gated luxury community of custom estates in the heart of Oak Brook.
The Midwest Club is a private, gated single-family community in Oak Brook, established in the early 1980s on a former 36-hole golf course and spanning roughly 231 acres. It is genuinely private: entry is through a single gatehouse staffed by 24-hour on-site security, and the club is not open to the public. Homes are large custom estates built from the mid-1980s through around 2010, so the streetscape mixes 1980s and 1990s traditionals with newer construction. A defining feature is the preserved landscape, with several ponds and more than 40 acres of protected open space held for residents. It sits minutes from Oakbrook Center and the region's expressways, in a village known for having no municipal property tax.

What it’s actually like to live here
The Midwest Club is built for buyers who want privacy, security, and space without leaving central DuPage. Behind a staffed gate and 24-hour security, residents live on large lots among mature trees, ponds, and more than 40 acres of protected open space that was deliberately preserved from the property's golf-course past. The on-site clubhouse, pool, and tennis courts give it a resort-like, self-contained feel, and this is not a community you can casually drive through.
The location is hard to beat for a luxury enclave. Residents are minutes from Oakbrook Center's shopping and dining, close to major hospitals, and within a short drive of I-88, I-294, and Route 83, so the Loop, O'Hare, and the western suburbs are all quickly reachable. That expressway proximity underpins Oak Brook's unusual no-municipal-property-tax model, funded instead by the village's strong commercial base.
The honest tradeoffs are age and cost. Many homes are large 1980s-to-2000s customs that buyers may want to update, and heating, cooling, and maintaining a home of this size is a real ongoing cost on top of the association dues. Oak Brook is car-dependent with no in-village train stop. And while the village's effective tax rate is low for the county, generally in the low-to-mid 1 percent range of value, the absolute bills on high-value estates are still substantial. School-district boundaries also run through this part of Oak Brook, so confirm the exact assignment by address.
The questions buyers actually ask
The Midwest Club FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping The Midwest Club. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.

Confirm the current assessment and what it includes with the management office.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $20,000 – $45,000 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.

- 30 to 60 days from accepted offer to keys. Cash deals can close in two weeks. Conventional financing is usually closer to 60.

Your local agent
Joe knows The Midwest Club
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.
