About the community
A small self managed townhome community around a fountain pond, minutes from Cantera and I-88.
Warrenville Lakes is a 164 unit attached townhome community in western Warrenville, east of Illinois Route 59 and south of Batavia Road, reached by turning onto Timber Drive. The association describes it as quiet and friendly, surrounding a pond with a fountain and bordered by Ferry Creek to the south, and that is an accurate read: two interior streets, neither a cut through, a landscaped pond at the center, and a wooded creek corridor closing off the south edge. The recorded declaration names RNR Associates as the developer, under a trust dated September 1986, which lines up with a 1987 to 1989 build out. The association is self managed by a volunteer board, which is how it keeps the assessment where it is.

What it’s actually like to live here
Warrenville Lakes is a small, quiet, low turnover pocket of attached homes wrapped around a fountain pond, with Ferry Creek and its tree line closing off the south side. There are two streets, Timber and Grove, and neither goes anywhere except into the community, so there is no cut through traffic. The pace is set by the fact that almost everyone here owns and lives in their home. The association's Fourth Amendment bars leasing outright except for a short and shrinking list of grandfathered units, and that shows up as neighbors who know each other, a volunteer board that actually fills its seats, and exteriors that look cared for.
The day to day appeal is what you stop doing. The assessment buys mowing, bush trimming, fertilizer, tree care including active Emerald Ash Borer treatment, roof and siding and gutter maintenance, weekly Groot pickup with a large item allowance and no stickers to buy, driveway plowing after every two inch snow, hand shoveling of the walk and porch, and periodic driveway sealcoating. In an Illinois February that is not a small list. Meanwhile the location is genuinely convenient rather than merely marketable. Cantera and its theater, restaurants, and thousands of corporate jobs are a couple of minutes south, I-88 is a straight shot down Route 59, the Route 59 Metra station is about four miles away, Northwestern Medicine's Proton Center and Cancer Center are in town, and Blackwell Forest Preserve, Warrenville Grove, and the Illinois Prairie Path handle the outdoor side.
The honest tradeoffs deserve naming. These are late 1980s two bedroom townhomes of roughly 1,400 square feet on slab with no basements, so storage is the garage, the closets, and the pull down attic, and a growing family runs out of bedrooms fast. Homes of this vintage are at the age where furnaces, water heaters, air conditioners, windows, and patio doors come due, and those are all owner items rather than association items, along with garage doors, front doors, and the fireplace and chimney. Because these are legally townhomes rather than condominiums, each owner carries a full homeowner policy rather than a cheaper walls in condo policy, which surprises buyers coming from a condo. The leasing prohibition is a benefit while you live here and a hard stop if your plan ever includes renting the unit out. DuPage County property taxes are high in absolute terms. And Route 59 at Butterfield is a busy arterial, so the interior streets are quiet but you are buying next to real traffic rather than away from it.
The questions buyers actually ask
Warrenville Lakes FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Warrenville Lakes. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- How much is the HOA?
- townhomes and condos are $250 per month.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Warrenville Lakes Homeowners' Association is self managed by an all volunteer board, and its posted assessment for 2026 is $250 per month, up from $238 in the prior posted cycle. The assessment covers landscape management from mid April through mid November, arborist and tree health services including Emerald Ash Borer treatment, exterior building maintenance covering roofs, siding and trim, gutters and downspouts, front masonry steps and garage exteriors, weekly Thursday garbage and recycling through Groot with one large item per unit per week and no stickers required, snow plowing of driveways after two inches in a single event plus hand shoveling of sidewalks and porches from mid November through mid April, and driveway repair and sealcoating. It does not cover windows, patio doors, front entry or garage doors, the chimney and fireplace, the air conditioner and compressor, patios and walkways, or anything on the interior. Payments are due by the 10th, with a $25 late fee after that.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $6,000 – $8,500 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?
- 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 condominiums or townhomes?
- Townhomes. The association addresses this directly in its own sales FAQ, stating that all units within Warrenville Lakes are classified as townhomes and are required to be insured as such, and the recorded declaration is a townhouse declaration built around party walls and individually owned lots. The practical consequence is on the insurance side: you carry a standard homeowner policy on your own structure rather than the walls in condo policy you may be used to, because the association's coverage is limited to common area general liability, directors and officers, and a crime policy. Get a quote before you write an offer.
- Can I buy a unit here as a rental property?
- No, and this is the single most important thing an investor needs to know. The Fourth Amendment to the declaration adds a section titled Leasing of Units Prohibited, which requires owners to occupy their unit for the entire period of ownership. Leasing is barred even to family members. A recorded addendum grandfathered a specific short list of lots that were being leased when the amendment passed, and that right terminates permanently as soon as the owner occupies the unit and stops leasing, so the number of leasable units only shrinks. If you are looking at one of those addresses, have your attorney confirm the leasing right is still alive before you rely on it.
- What does the monthly assessment cover, and what is still my responsibility?
- The association's posted assessment for 2026 is $250 per month. It covers landscape management from mid April through mid November, arborist and tree health services including Emerald Ash Borer treatment, exterior building maintenance covering roofs, siding and trim, gutters and downspouts, front masonry steps and garage exteriors, weekly Thursday garbage and recycling through Groot with one large item per unit per week, snow plowing of driveways after two inches plus hand shoveling of sidewalks and porches, and driveway repair and sealcoating. What stays yours: windows, patio doors, front entry and garage doors, the chimney and fireplace, the air conditioner and compressor, patios and walkways, and everything on the interior.
- Which schools serve Warrenville Lakes?
- Community Unit School District 200, the Wheaton Warrenville district, not Indian Prairie District 204. Listing records for Grove Lane and Timber Drive addresses report Johnson Elementary School on Continental Drive in Warrenville, Hubble Middle School on Herrick Road, and Wheaton Warrenville South High School. Johnson is a few minutes from the Batavia Road entrance. Attendance boundaries can be redrawn and the elementary assignment in particular comes from agent entered listing data, so confirm the current assignment for a specific unit directly with District 200 before you write an offer.
- Do the townhomes have basements, and how are they laid out?
- No basements. These are two story attached townhomes of roughly 1,400 square feet with attached two car garages. The typical plan puts the living room, dining area, and kitchen on the main level with sliding doors to a private patio, then bedrooms and the laundry upstairs, plus a vaulted loft with skylights above that works as a family room, office, or study. Bath counts vary by model. Storage comes from the two car garage, walk in closets, and a large pull down attic. If you need a basement for storage, a workshop, or extra bedrooms, this community will not solve that.
- What do homes cost here, and how is the market?
- Rather than quote a number that goes stale, check the Market snapshot on this page, which pulls live from the MLS for Warrenville Lakes specifically. In general terms, this is one of the more attainable ways to buy into the District 200 attendance area and the Cantera employment corridor, inventory is thin because turnover is low, and units backing the pond or sitting on an end tend to sell at a premium to interior units. In a community this size there are often only a handful of sales in a year, so getting on an alert list matters more here than in a larger subdivision.
- Who is the real estate agent for Warrenville Lakes?

Joe prices and negotiates from the live MRED sold comps for Warrenville Lakes specifically, not national averages, and can help you buy or sell here.

Your local agent
Joe knows Warrenville Lakes
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.
