When growth started to happen east of the downtown area of Naperville, Pembroke Greens was one of the first developments in the late 1960s and ‘70s. “People love that it’s within walking distance of an active downtown area. It’s a healthy walk, but it can still be done,” says Ann DeVane, a broker with John Greene Realtor. “People also like that this is not a cookie-cutter neighborhood.” By foot, walking to the heart of downtown and the Naperville Riverwalk will take a little more than a half hour.

Less than 2 miles from downtown Naperville
The proximity of downtown means access to major events throughout the year, like Last Fling, a community festival held over the Labor Day weekend as a farewell to summer.

The Naperville Riverwalk is a path along the river only for foot traffic. There are no bicycles or any motorized vehicles allowed on the 2-mile route. There are two farmers' markets in the downtown area. One is on 5th Avenue, north of the railroad tracks near the Metra station. It goes from 7 a.m. to noon every Saturday.
