About the community
Living in Woodridge.
Woodridge is a 9.79 square mile village in southwestern DuPage County with small slivers extending into Will and Cook counties, home to 34,158 residents as of the 2020 census. The village sits at the junction of I-355 (Veterans Memorial Tollway) and I-55 (Stevenson Expressway), giving buyers fast access to O'Hare, Midway, and the Loop without paying Naperville or Hinsdale prices. The 2024 median household income is about $101,000 with a median property value near $363,700. Woodridge has no Metra station of its own, but the BNSF Line is a short Pace bus ride away at Lisle or Downers Grove Belmont. The village name comes from The Ridge, a wooded high point above the East Branch of the DuPage River that gave the original 1959 development its identity.

What it’s actually like to live here
Woodridge's housing stock is a mostly post-1959 build out: classic post-war and 1970s through 1990s suburban subdivisions, with detached single-family homes dominating but a meaningful share of townhomes and condos near IL-53. The 2024 median property value is $363,700 and the homeownership rate is 68 percent. The 2020 census counted 14,068 housing units, with only 4.3 percent vacant. The average homeowner pays about $7,535 a year in property tax, at an effective rate near 2.02 percent, in line with the rest of DuPage but on the lower end versus Will County neighbors like Bolingbrook.
Schools are the single most important thing buyers need to understand about Woodridge addresses. Elementary and junior high are unified under Village of Woodridge School District 68 (six K-6 elementaries plus Thomas Jefferson Junior High for grades 7-8). High school assignment is the variable: most Woodridge students attend Downers Grove North or Downers Grove South via Community High School District 99, but homes in southern Woodridge feed Lemont High School (District 210), and Seven Bridges homes west of the DuPage River are zoned to Naperville District 203 and attend Naperville North. For commuters, the Stevenson and Veterans Memorial Tollway handle car trips, but there is no Metra station within Woodridge village limits. Riders catch the BNSF Line at Lisle or Downers Grove Belmont via Pace Routes 820 and 821.

How Woodridge got here
A bit of history.
Woodridge was incorporated on August 24, 1959 with fewer than 500 residents on a wooded ridge above the East Branch of the DuPage River and the Des Plaines Valley. The village was the project of housing developer Albert Kaufman, whose subdivisions reflected the post-WWII suburban building wave that reshaped Chicago's southwestern collar. From a 459-person start, growth accelerated quickly as I-55 and later I-355 turned the area into prime commuter ground.
By 1980 the population had crossed 22,000, and the village kept building out through the 1990s and 2000s, reaching 32,971 in 2010 and 34,158 by the 2020 census. Woodridge landed at No. 61 on Money magazine's 100 Best Places to Live in July 2007. The village hosted Pabst Brewing Company's headquarters from 2006 to 2011 and remains home to Home Run Inn Pizza's corporate HQ at 1300 Internationale Pkwy. On June 20, 2021, an EF-3 tornado tore through Woodridge after 11pm, damaging 225 homes across Woodridge and adjoining suburbs without any fatalities.

Your local agent
Joe knows Woodridge
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.
