New Traditionals and multi-family duplexes
The real estate market in Lakewood Falls is competitive for its housing option variety and entry-level pricing. Most homes were constructed in the late 1990s, resulting in rambler, Colonial Revival and New Traditional designs. While the area is primarily made up of single family homes, multi-family duplexes are also available. “Residents own their land when buying a duplex here, and it comes with a private backyard, which doesn’t often happen with multi-family housing,” says Francine Caliendo, Broker with RE/MAX of Naperville. With a median sales price of $300,000, homes here are priced $70,000 less than the average property in the Chicago Metro Area. For example, single-family homes range from as low as $250,000 for a two-bedroom rambler to upwards of $800,000 for a five-bedroom newly constructed New Traditional. Multi-family options range from $150,000 to upwards of $300,000 for updated amenities. Homes with pond-front views are subject to increased price points. Residences often feature mid-sized lawns, attached garages and fenced backyards for added seclusion from neighbors. Tree-lined streets branch off into cul-de-sacs with paved sidewalks on both sides for increased navigation throughout the community.
Lakewood Falls features pampered lawns with neatly trimmed hedges.
Homes in Lakewood Falls average between 2,400 to 3,500 square feet.
