The homes of Arrowhead
Arrowhead’s residential streets are surrounded by mature oak and American elm trees, which provide shade for walks along its wide streets and sidewalks, which are present in roughly half of the neighborhood. Home pride is important here and can be seen through fresh lawn mower tracks in front yards and a sprinkling of holiday decorations depending on the time of year. "There’s a lot of new construction mixed in with older houses that have been updated with care,” shares Amy Kehoe, real estate broker with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chicago, whose office is located in Wheaton. These homes come in various architectural styles, from Tudor, ranch and Colonial Revival styles built in the mid-to-late 20th century to new traditional and millennium mansion styles constructed from the early 2000s through today. As a result, the neighborhood offers a wide range of prices, from $400,000 to $750,000, depending on size and condition, while larger, recently built homes can reach up to just under $4 million. “Residents also get a nice tax break since the subdivision is unincorporated,” explains Kehoe.

Archery at Blackwell Forest Preserve
Many homes in the community sit along the Illinois Prairie Path, where morning strollers can hop on any part of the 61-mile pathway with peace of mind, as motorized vehicles are not allowed on the trails.

Arrowhead is also full of nature preserves, including Blackwell Forest Preserve, a popular spot for local anglers home to an archery range and a snow tubing hill during winter.
