About the community
Estate-scale lots and custom homes in eastern Oak Brook.
York Woods is an established, upscale single-family neighborhood in the Village of Oak Brook, bounded by 22nd Street (Cermak Road) on the north, Oak Brook Road (31st Street) on the south, the I-294 Tri-State Tollway on the east, and York Road on the west. The community association was incorporated in 1963 and is mandated by the original 1962 protective covenants, covering roughly 259 covenant-bound parcels plus additional associate and later-added lots. Oak Brook itself is a low-density, affluent suburb known for large wooded lots, a strong equestrian and country-club heritage, major corporate campuses, and an unusually favorable tax structure.

What it’s actually like to live here
York Woods offers a quiet, low-density, estate-style living experience inside one of Chicago's most affluent western suburbs. The appeal is space and setting: large, mature, wooded lots, custom homes, and a genuine country-club-and-forest-preserve environment, with Butler National and the Oak Brook Golf Club close by, the Sports Core polo grounds and tennis center nearby, and the Salt Creek greenway and Fullersburg Woods a short distance south. Because the neighborhood is covenant-governed with an active association, there is a real layer of community advocacy and architectural continuity that many upper-tier buyers value.
The tradeoffs are real and worth being candid about. This is a car-dependent location with no Metra station in the village, so commuters drive to Elmhurst or Hinsdale stations or into the city. The housing stock is genuinely mixed in vintage: some homes are original 1960s construction that may need updating, while neighbors may be recently rebuilt custom estates, which means condition, systems, and finish level vary widely from house to house and demand careful inspection. Being covenant-bound also means architectural and use restrictions that not every buyer wants.
For the right buyer, though, York Woods delivers a rare combination in the region: estate-level lots and homes, blue-ribbon-reputation schools, deep recreational amenities, an extremely favorable municipal tax posture, and fast access to O'Hare, downtown Chicago, and the corporate corridor. It rewards buyers who want land, privacy, and a strong address over walkability and turnkey uniformity. For current pricing and how the market is moving, see the live Market snapshot on this page.
The questions buyers actually ask
York Woods FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping York Woods. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- York Woods has an active, covenant-based homeowners association, the York Woods Community Association, managed by Oak and Dale Management. Unlike many voluntary Oak Brook neighborhood groups, membership for the covenant-bound parcels is mandated by the recorded 1962 Declaration of Protective Covenants, so the association has an elected board, regular meetings, an architectural and covenant review role, and active land-use advocacy for the neighborhood. Dues are modest. Confirm the current assessment, what it covers, and any architectural-review requirements with the management company during due diligence.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $9,000 – $25,000 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?
- 45 to 90 days from accepted offer to keys. Cash deals can close in two weeks. Conventional financing is usually closer to 90.
- Where exactly is York Woods, and how big is it?
- It is in eastern Oak Brook, bounded by 22nd Street (Cermak) on the north, 31st Street (Oak Brook Road) on the south, I-294 on the east, and York Road on the west. Per the association's records, it comprises about 259 covenant-bound parcels plus additional associate and later-added lots, all single-family.
- Is there an HOA, and what does it do?
- Yes. The York Woods Community Association is a covenant-based homeowners association, mandated by the 1962 protective covenants, with an elected board, regular meetings, architectural and covenant oversight, and active land-use advocacy for the neighborhood. Dues are modest. Confirm the current assessment and exactly what it covers with the management company before purchase.
- What schools serve York Woods?
- The neighborhood is served by Butler School District 53 (Brook Forest Elementary and Butler Junior High), with high school generally at Hinsdale Central in District 86. Because Oak Brook's school boundaries are genuinely split, always confirm a specific home's assignment by its street address with the districts and the Village before relying on it.
- Why are Oak Brook's property taxes considered low?
- The Village of Oak Brook levies no municipal real estate property tax and funds itself largely through sales-tax revenue. Homeowners still pay taxes to schools, the county, and other districts, but Oak Brook's overall effective rate is among the lowest in DuPage County. Confirm the exact effective rate and exemptions for a specific parcel with the DuPage County Treasurer.
- How old are the homes, and are they updated?
- The subdivision dates to the early 1960s, so you will find original mid-century homes alongside many that have been fully renovated or rebuilt as newer custom estates. Condition and vintage vary significantly from house to house, so inspect each property on its own merits.
- What do homes cost and how is the market right now?
- York Woods is an upper-tier, estate-level segment of an affluent suburb, so values sit at the higher end of the DuPage market. Rather than quoting a number that goes stale, see the live Market snapshot on this page for current pricing, inventory, and how the market is trending.

Your local agent
Joe knows York Woods
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.
