Welcome to Jefferson Park
Roughly 28 miles west of downtown Chicago, Naperville has grown from a small frontier outpost into one of Illinois' largest cities. With a population nearing 150,000, it spans both DuPage and Will counties, blending historical roots with steady development over the decades.
Naperville’s downtown has become a landmark in its own right. Anchored by the Riverwalk—a project first launched to celebrate the city’s 150th anniversary—the area runs alongside the DuPage River with walking paths, bridges, and public art installations. Today, the Riverwalk is often seen as a symbol of Naperville’s investment in shared spaces and long-term planning.
The city’s approach to housing reflects its layered history and ongoing growth. In older neighborhoods near downtown, early 20th-century architecture is still visible, while newer communities continue to expand along the city's edges. Preservation efforts have helped maintain historic charm without slowing modern development.
Public parks and green spaces are a major part of Naperville’s layout, managed through a local park district that oversees more than 2,400 acres of recreational land. From athletic fields to nature trails, these areas serve as gathering places for activities and events throughout the year.
Naperville is also home to North Central College, a private liberal arts school that has been part of the city since the 1800s. Its campus plays a role in local life, hosting lectures, performances, and exhibitions open to the public.
Transportation access remains a key advantage. Commuters can use Metra’s BNSF Railway line to travel between Naperville and downtown Chicago, while nearby interstates and arterial roads keep the city well-connected to surrounding suburbs and business hubs.
Local commerce is wide-ranging—home to both independent businesses and regional employers across sectors like healthcare, education, and technology. Naperville’s commercial profile has adapted with the times while remaining closely tied to community planning and infrastructure.
From its early founding days to its role as a modern suburban city, Naperville strikes a perfect balance between urban amenities and a suburban lifestyle.
