About the community
A newer custom-home enclave on Westmont's east side.
Fairfield is a small, upscale single-family enclave north of 59th Street and east of Cass Avenue in Westmont, built across roughly 1996 to 2008. Its homes are larger and newer than much of Westmont's older housing stock, many of them semi-custom to custom builds arranged on quiet cul-de-sac courts. Its enduring draw is the combination of newer construction with assignment to a top-tier high school without a Hinsdale or Clarendon Hills price tag.

What it’s actually like to live here
Fairfield offers a specific and unusual value proposition for the west suburbs: relatively new, larger custom homes in Westmont, a village generally more affordable than its blue-chip neighbors Hinsdale and Clarendon Hills, while still feeding into the same highly regarded Hinsdale Central High School. For families chasing that high school without a Hinsdale price tag, a newer home on a quiet Westmont court is a compelling middle path. The cul-de-sac layout keeps through-traffic out, and the streets skew toward long-tenured owner-occupants, which shows in the upkeep.
Day to day, the location is quietly convenient rather than walkable-urban. You are minutes from Cass Avenue and Ogden Avenue for errands, close to the Westmont Metra station for a car-free commute downtown, and framed by four expressways for driving flexibility in any direction. The Westmont Park District's newer aquatic and park facilities add real recreation value, and Oakbrook Center and downtown Hinsdale are close for bigger shopping and dining trips.
The honest tradeoffs: DuPage property taxes are high, and on upper-tier homes the annual bill is substantial, so budget for it. This is a suburban, car-oriented pocket rather than a downtown-Westmont walkable block, so expect to drive for most errands. The HOA and any shared amenities are lightly documented, so confirm dues and rules before you commit. And because Westmont's school boundaries are genuinely patchwork, the school assignment that makes this neighborhood attractive must be verified for the exact address, not assumed. Inventory is thin, so buyers should be ready to move when a good home appears.
The questions buyers actually ask
Fairfield FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Fairfield. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- A modest homeowners association applies, with low monthly dues that typically cover common-area and entrance upkeep rather than full-service amenities. Fairfield does not publish a dues schedule online, so confirm the current amount and exactly what it covers with the seller disclosure or the association before relying on it.
- What's the typical closing timeline?
- 30 to 60 days from accepted offer to keys. Cash deals can close in two weeks. Conventional financing is usually closer to 60.
- Is Fairfield a real subdivision in Westmont?
- Yes. It is a named single-family enclave on Westmont's east side, north of 59th Street and east of Cass Avenue, with its own courts including Fairfield Ct., Heath Ct., and Megan Ct.
- When were the homes built and what are they like?
- Most were built between roughly 1996 and 2008. They are larger, newer semi-custom to custom detached homes, many on cul-de-sac courts, which sets them apart from Westmont's older housing stock.
- What schools does Fairfield feed into?
- Homes here are generally served by Maercker School District 60 for elementary and middle (Holmes, Maercker, and Westview Hills) and by Hinsdale Central High School in District 86. Westmont's boundaries are split, so confirm the exact assignment for a specific address before relying on it.
- Is there an HOA, and what does it cover?
- There is a homeowners association with modest monthly dues. What those dues cover is not publicly documented, so confirm the current amount and services with your agent or the seller disclosure.
- How is the commute from Fairfield?
- Westmont has its own Metra BNSF station downtown for direct trains to Chicago Union Station, and the neighborhood is framed by I-88, I-55, I-294, and I-355, with Cass and Ogden Avenues for local trips. It is convenient but car-oriented.
- What do homes cost, and how is the market right now?
- Fairfield is an upper-tier, custom-home enclave, and well-maintained homes here tend to move quickly. For current pricing and conditions, see the live Market snapshot on this page rather than a static figure. DuPage effective property tax rates generally run around two percent of value, so verify the exact bill on any specific home.

Your local agent
Joe knows Fairfield
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.
