A riverside suburb near shopping and Interstate 88
Placed on the banks of the Fox River, there’s a quiet suburb known as Indian Creek. But like many suburbs, there are not just dashes of nature here and there – modern amenities make their presence known, too, like Fox Valley Mall and Interstate 88. Smaller roads along the interior like Farnsworth Avenue are lined with eateries, and a bike path cuts across the width of the neighborhood as well. Realtor Zoila Galvan with Lomitas Real Estate says the closeness of all these things, coupled with open space to relax in, draws homebuyers. “Indian Creek has large lots and it’s a very well-kept neighborhood. It's close to stores and the outlet mall, and homeowners tend to keep their homes for many years,” she says.
At Indian Creek is home to diverse housing options and such attractive home prices.

Modern traditional homes from the 2000s
A lot of housing here feels contemporary, having been built during the 2000s or even the 2010s. Prices range from $200,000 to $500,000. For example, a one-bedroom townhouse from 2003 represents the entry point for this market. But in terms of single-family homes, the modern traditional style rules the day – and those typically start in the upper $300,000s. Scattered throughout Indian Creek, homebuyers will notice a kind of updated ranch that can vary in terms of bedrooms, but almost always shows up with steep gabled roofs, street-facing garages, tall windows and splashes of brick. Some of these stay true to the single-story open concept floor plan that’s typical of ranches. But it’s not unusual to find some with basements, or a second story that overlooks a spacious den under a vaulted ceiling.
Large modern builds with well-maintained landscaping can be found at Indian Creek.
If you are shopping for a townhome, head out to Indian Creek, you'll find one to fit your bill.

Cool Acres Park is on the river
From the west to the east end, parks dot the neighborhood. Cool Acres Park is about as close as one can get to the Fox River without going for a swim. The space features open fields, suitable for a casual picnic in the grass, catching a sunset or taking in the rushing sounds of the river. Indian Creek Park and Church Road Park both provide mulched play areas and sports facilities, as well as paved paths to stroll on. Part of the Illinois Prairie Path passes through here, taking cyclists past a swath of forest preserves connected to O’Donnell Park, near the elementary school.

Big retail destinations at Fox Valley Mall

Transportation
On either side of Fox River are Highway 31 and Highway 25, where residents can find grocery stores and healthcare facilities. Meanwhile, commuters relish having Interstate 88 run along the northern border. It’s roughly a 40-mile drive to downtown Chicago. Bikers and pedestrians can traverse the length of Indian Creek by taking the Illinois Prairie Path. Buses traffic key thoroughfares, like centrally located Farnsworth Avenue. A mile from the south side is downtown Aurora, which features a Metra station. Overall, Indian Creek embraces all the modes of transportation that a resident could choose.
