Century Hill

“An established neighborhood of curving streets and mature tree canopy, built largely between the 1960s and 1980s along Chicago Avenue just east of downtown Naperville.”

Century Hill is a single-family neighborhood reached from two entrances off Chicago Avenue, just east of downtown Naperville. Its curving streets were built largely between the 1960s and 1980s, giving the neighborhood a quiet, established character that stands apart from the grid-style developments closer to downtown.

The homes are primarily two-story colonials and split-levels built across several decades of consistent construction, with yards and setbacks that reflect the generous standards of the era. Mature landscaping and tree-lined parkways have softened the streetscape over the years, giving Century Hill the layered feel of a neighborhood that has grown into itself. Many homes have seen substantial updates since their original construction, keeping the interior finishes well ahead of the build date.

Downtown Naperville and the BNSF Metra line are a short drive west along Chicago Avenue, and the neighborhood's location gives residents convenient access to I-88 and I-355 for commuters heading toward the broader Chicago area. The two-entrance layout off Chicago Avenue limits cut-through traffic, keeping the interior streets quiet relative to their proximity to downtown.
