About the community
Move-up size on the quiet northwest edge of Plainfield, with a 30 acre park next door.
Tuttle Estates is a detached single-family subdivision on the north side of Plainfield, in Wheatland Township, Will County, fully inside village limits. It runs along the south side of West 127th Street, roughly a half mile east of 248th Avenue and about a mile and a half west of Route 59, on streets including Bower Court, Meadow Lane, Parterre Place, Pastoral Drive, and Summerhouse Drive. It was built in a single early-2000s push and recorded in numbered units under its own name, not as a phase of a larger master plan. The result is a conventional planned unit development: curb and gutter, sidewalks, street lights, a landscaped entry monument, retention ponds, and a green berm buffering the neighborhood from 127th Street.

What it’s actually like to live here
Tuttle Estates is the kind of neighborhood Plainfield does well and rarely advertises. It was built in a single early-2000s push on the quiet northwest edge of the village, far enough off Route 59 that you do not hear the corridor, close enough that a grocery run is five minutes. The streets curve rather than grid, the sidewalks connect, the parkway trees have had twenty years to fill in, and the houses are big in a way that newer construction at similar money usually is not. Buyers coming from a starter home tend to be surprised by how much room they get.
What actually defines daily life is the park on the other side of Pastoral Drive. Tamarack Settlement is a 30 acre Plainfield Park District community park with ballfields, basketball, a shelter, a skate park, trails, and a natural resource area, and one of its two parking lots opens directly onto a subdivision street. A state OSLAD matching grant is funding a major expansion, a bigger playground with turf, a sensory and neurodivergent play area, tot and adventure play zones, an inline hockey rink, pickleball courts, a fitness pod, and a pond overlook deck, with completion targeted for summer 2027. The tradeoff is honest and worth saying out loud: a community park draws cars, weekend crowds, and a skate park's noise, and homes facing that edge feel it more than homes tucked on the interior courts.
The association is the other thing to understand clearly. It charges $240 a year and has not raised it in eighteen years, which sounds like a bargain and mostly is, but it is a volunteer board maintaining an entry, a green strip along 127th, and the retention ponds, and nothing else. There is no pool, no clubhouse, no gym, no gate, whatever some listing feeds may say. The other real considerations are the commute and the calendar. There is no Metra in Plainfield, so a downtown rail commute starts with a drive to the Route 59 station. And while the December 2025 boundary vote left Plainfield North intact for this neighborhood, the district openly deferred its elementary and middle boundary work to a later phase, so those assignments are current rather than permanent. Twenty year old mechanicals are the last thing to budget for, since roofs, furnaces, and water heaters here are all in the replacement window.
The questions buyers actually ask
Tuttle Estates FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Tuttle Estates. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- The Tuttle Estates Community Association is self-managed by a five-member volunteer board with no management company, and it assesses $240 per year. Invoices go out in early December and are due in early January with a thirty day grace period. The assessment covers the front entry, the community green space along 127th Street, upkeep of the retention ponds, and association administration. The association maintains a capital reserve targeting roughly twice the annual budget and has funded an electrical upgrade and a lighting replacement out of reserves rather than levying a special assessment. Exterior changes may require association and village approval.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $11,000 – $16,000 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 45 days from accepted offer to keys. Cash deals can close in two weeks. Conventional financing is usually closer to 45.
- Is there an HOA, and what does it cost?
- Yes. The Tuttle Estates Community Association charges $240 per year and is self-managed by a five-member volunteer board with no management company. Invoices go out in early December and are due in early January, with a thirty day grace period. The assessment covers the front entry, the community green space along 127th Street, upkeep of the retention ponds, and administration. The association also maintains a capital reserve and has paid for an electrical upgrade and a lighting replacement out of reserves rather than levying a special assessment. Full covenants, rules, and the architectural improvement form are posted on the association's site.
- Is there a community pool, clubhouse, or gate?
- No. Tuttle Estates has no pool, clubhouse, or fitness building, and it is not gated. That is the direct reason the dues are only $240 a year. What the neighborhood has instead is Tamarack Settlement Park immediately adjacent, a 30 acre Plainfield Park District community park with ballfields, basketball, a shelter, trails, and a skate park, with a parking lot that opens onto Pastoral Drive. Note that some listing feeds incorrectly tag this subdivision as gated or as having tennis courts. It does not have either.
- Which schools serve Tuttle Estates?
- Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202. Running multiple in-subdivision addresses through the district's official locator returns Walker's Grove Elementary, Richard Ira Jones Middle School, and Plainfield North High School. One important caveat: the district approved high school boundary changes in December 2025 and Tuttle Estates was not among the reassigned subdivisions, but it explicitly postponed its elementary and middle school boundary work to a later phase. Assignments are current, not guaranteed, so re-verify the specific address on the District 202 locator before you buy.
- What is the park expansion next door, and when does it happen?
- In January 2026 the Plainfield Park District announced a $600,000 matching OSLAD grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources for Tamarack Settlement Park. The planned elements, all meeting or exceeding ADA guidelines, include an expanded playground with turf surfacing, a sensory and neurodivergent play area, tot and adventure play areas, an inline hockey rink, pickleball courts, a fitness pod, cricket and ballfield improvements, a deck overlook at the pond, and interpretive signage. Construction was expected to begin in the fall with completion by summer 2027.
- How is the commute to Chicago?
- Plan on driving. Plainfield has no Metra station, so rail commuters drive about eleven miles, roughly twenty minutes, to the Route 59 station on the BNSF line into Union Station. By car, I-55 at Illinois 126 is about seven miles and I-88 at Route 59 is about twelve, with downtown Chicago roughly forty miles out. If you work in Naperville, Aurora, Bolingbrook, or Joliet, the location is excellent. If you are in the Loop five days a week, be realistic about the drive to the train.
- What do homes cost, and what are property taxes like?
- Tuttle Estates trades in Plainfield's established move-up band rather than the entry tier or the custom tier, and buyers here typically get more square footage and more bedrooms per dollar than comparable-priced new construction, in exchange for a home that is roughly two decades old. For current pricing, check the Market snapshot on this page, which pulls live from the MLS. On taxes, the Will County tax code matching this neighborhood's taxing bodies carried a 2025 rate near 6.94 percent of equalized assessed value, which works out to an effective rate of roughly 2.2 to 2.4 percent of market value before exemptions. School District 202 is about 64 percent of the bill.

Your local agent
Joe knows Tuttle Estates
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.
