About the community
Maintenance-free townhomes with a District 303 address.
Pheasant Run Trails is a small attached-home neighborhood off Smith Road on the far east side of St. Charles, just north of Route 64 and east of Kautz Road. The homes went up from the late 1990s into the early 2000s as two and three bedroom townhomes with attached two-car garages, finished lower levels, and private balconies or patios. Despite the St. Charles 60174 address, the parcels sit in DuPage County, and the association handles the exterior, the lawn, and the snow. The pitch is simple: a St. Charles District 303 address and a Fox Valley location without a yard to maintain.

What it’s actually like to live here
This is a neighborhood people choose on purpose rather than stumble into. It is tucked off Smith Road behind mature trees on a pocket of DuPage County that carries a St. Charles address and St. Charles District 303 schools. The homes are attached townhomes with two-car garages, finished lower levels, and private balconies or patios, and the association handles the exterior, the lawn, the snow, and the master insurance. For a buyer who wants the District 303 address without spending weekends on a ladder, that trade is the whole point. Norton Creek Elementary is literally on the same road, which is rare in a suburb where most families drive past three subdivisions to get to school.
The location is more convenient than a walkability score captures. Several shopping centers, a movie theater, and a grocery anchor sit within about a mile and a half, and the Fox Haven Square corridor on Kirk Road has been adding restaurants and entertainment space. Two Metra Union Pacific West stations, Geneva and West Chicago, are each roughly a fifteen minute drive, which puts a downtown rail commute within reason. Two Northwestern Medicine hospitals are inside ten miles, and Pratt's Wayne Woods and West Chicago Prairie forest preserves are close enough for a Saturday morning. What you do not get is walkability to downtown St. Charles or the Fox River, both about five miles west.
The honest tradeoffs deserve to be named. The land across Route 64 is in the middle of the largest change this corridor has seen: the Pheasant Run Resort closed in 2020 after 57 years and was demolished by 2024, the former golf course was rezoned for limited manufacturing and is being built out as an industrial park, and the resort parcel itself is the subject of a proposed retail and restaurant subdivision still working through the city. Practically that means construction activity, added truck traffic on Route 64 and Kautz Road, and real uncertainty about the view and noise profile until it settles. Beyond that, this is townhome living, so you share walls, pay a monthly assessment, live with association rules on pets and leasing, and climb stairs in nearly every plan. The homes are also now 25 plus years old, so budget for the furnace, water heater, and roof cycle. Tour on a quiet Sunday if you like, but drive the corridor on a Tuesday morning before you write an offer.
The questions buyers actually ask
Pheasant Run Trails FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Pheasant Run Trails. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- How much is the HOA?
- townhomes and condos are $277 per month.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Common area and master insurance, exterior maintenance, lawn care and common-grounds landscaping, and snow removal. Trash service appears on some units and not others, so confirm it for the specific address. There is no clubhouse, pool, or fitness center, so the assessment buys maintenance and insurance rather than facilities.
- When was Pheasant Run Trails built?
- WM Homes built the community between 1998 and 2004. WM Homes stopped new construction in 2004, 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.
- Are these single-family homes or townhomes?
- Townhomes. MLS records classify Pheasant Run Trails properties as attached, and listings describe them as row-style townhomes with shared walls, an attached two-car garage, and a private balcony or patio rather than a private yard. Two and three bedroom plans are both common, several add a loft, and most have a finished or partially finished lower level. If you want a detached house with a fenced yard, this is not that neighborhood.
- Which county is Pheasant Run Trails in, and why does everyone say Kane?
- DuPage County. This trips up almost everyone, because the mailing address is St. Charles 60174 and St. Charles is best known as a Kane County city. But St. Charles straddles both counties, and this pocket sits east of Kautz Road, which functions as the county line here. MLS records for closed sales on Pheasant Trail list the county as DuPage. Practically, your assessment comes from the DuPage County Supervisor of Assessments and your bill comes from the DuPage County Treasurer. It also means you should confirm which park district and library district you fall into rather than assuming St. Charles.
- What schools serve Pheasant Run Trails?
- The neighborhood is in St. Charles Community Unit School District 303. MLS records list Norton Creek Elementary on Smith Road, Wredling Middle School on Dunham Road, and St. Charles East High School. That pathway matches the district's published feeder pattern, since Wredling names Norton Creek as one of its feeder elementaries. Norton Creek is unusually close, on the same road as the neighborhood. That said, District 303 revised boundaries starting with the 2024-2025 school year and states its maps are for general guidance and that assignments can be adjusted for overcrowding, so verify your specific address on the district's boundary map before relying on it.
- Is there an HOA, and what do the dues cover?
- Yes, there is a mandatory homeowners association. Recent listings show a monthly assessment covering common area and master insurance, exterior maintenance, lawn care and common-grounds landscaping, and snow removal. Trash service appears on some listings and not others, so confirm it for the specific unit. There is no clubhouse, pool, or fitness center, so the dues buy maintenance and insurance rather than resort facilities. Pets are permitted with limits on number and size, and short-term rentals and subletting are restricted. Get the current declaration, budget, reserve study, and rules before you remove your attorney-review contingency, because the leasing cap and pet limits are what most often surprise buyers here.
- What is being built on the old Pheasant Run Resort land next door?
- A great deal, and it is not finished. The resort closed in early 2020 after 57 years, was damaged by fires in 2022, and was fully demolished by the summer of 2024. The former golf course was rezoned to limited manufacturing in 2022 and is being redeveloped as an industrial park, with build-out plans calling for roughly 1.1 million square feet of warehouse across several buildings served by a new private road connecting to Route 64. The resort parcel itself is the subject of a proposed commercial subdivision of retail and restaurants that was still in front of the City Council on incentive terms during 2026. If you are buying here, drive Route 64 and Kautz Road at a weekday rush hour and read the project pages on the City of St. Charles site so you know exactly what you are moving next to.
- What do homes cost here, and what are property taxes like?
- Pricing moves month to month, so rather than quote a number that goes stale, check the Market snapshot on this page, which pulls current list prices, recent sales, and days on market straight from the MLS. Inventory is thin because the community is small, so if you want a specific plan or square footage, be prepared to wait and to move quickly. On taxes, this is a DuPage County bill, and effective residential rates in the St. Charles portion of DuPage have generally run in the range of roughly 1.8 to 2.5 percent of market value depending on the assessment year and which homestead exemptions apply. School District 303 is by far the largest line item. Pull the actual bill for the specific parcel through the DuPage County Treasurer rather than budgeting off an average.

Your local agent
Joe knows Pheasant Run Trails
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.
