Whispering Meadows is a single-family neighborhood off Faxon Road and Cannonball Trail on Yorkville’s northwest side, pairing mid-2000s Kimball Hill resales with new Lennar construction around a clubhouse, pool, and pond-side walking trail.
Whispering Meadows sits on Yorkville’s northwest side, west of Route 47 along Faxon Road and Cannonball Trail. Kimball Hill Homes started the subdivision in 2005–2006 and built the original sections before the company’s 2008 bankruptcy halted work around 2009, leaving part of the neighborhood and its infrastructure unfinished. The story has a clear ending: the City of Yorkville pursued the successor developers in court, secured about $1.56 million in settlements, repaved streets and sidewalks, completed a flood-mitigation project in early 2025, and in 2024 Lennar picked up the remaining lots and resumed building — with final buildout expected around 2026–2027.
The amenity package is more than most Yorkville subdivisions this size offer: a residents’ clubhouse with a fitness room and seasonal outdoor pool, a tot lot, a park with a baseball diamond, and a large pond ringed by a walking trail. Faxon Road was recently completed through the area, and the neighborhood connects quickly to Route 47 for the drive into downtown Yorkville or north toward Sugar Grove and I-88. Raging Waves waterpark and the Kendall Marketplace shopping corridor on Route 34 are both a short drive away.
For buyers, Whispering Meadows is one of the few places in Yorkville where you can shop mid-2000s resales and brand-new construction on the same streets. Kimball Hill-era homes have been closing from the low $400s to the low $500s, with the 2026 median sale right around $460K, while Lennar’s new homes list from roughly $450K to $525K across five floor plans. That puts the neighborhood squarely in Yorkville’s mid-range — above entry-level condo and townhome communities, below the large-lot custom areas — with steady turnover on the resale side and quick-move-in inventory on the new side.
Pricing reflects Whispering Meadows sales and active listings as of mid-2026.
The original sections run roughly 1,640 to 3,684 square feet with 3–5 bedrooms, mostly two-story plans with two-car garages. Recent closings have ranged from about $415K to $514K at an average near $209 per square foot. These suit buyers who want an established street with mature landscaping at a mid-range Yorkville price.

Residents get a clubhouse with a fitness room and great room plus a seasonal outdoor pool that runs Memorial Day through Labor Day — an amenity set covered by a moderate HOA fee in the $62–$84/month range.
Inside the neighborhood there’s a park with a baseball diamond and a tot lot playground, so green space is a walk away rather than a drive. Sidewalks and street lights run throughout.
A large pond anchors the neighborhood with a walking trail around it, and the city completed a stormwater project in 2025 that routes drainage toward the Rob Roy ditch and the Fox River.
After settlements totaling about $1.56 million, the City of Yorkville repaved streets and sidewalks and completed Faxon Road through the neighborhood. The long-running infrastructure gap left by the original developer’s bankruptcy has been closed out.
