Schaefer Woods is Plano’s east-side acreage enclave — custom and semi-custom homes of 2,700–4,000 square feet on roughly one-acre lots near Schaefer and Eldamain Roads, recently trading in the $540s–$570s, with Yorkville CUSD 115 schools.
Schaefer Woods sits on Plano’s far east side — north of Schaefer Road, west of Eldamain Road — where the subdivision grid gives way to acreage. Homes here are custom and semi-custom builds from roughly 2000 onward, most between 2,700 and 4,000 square feet on lots around an acre, with three-car garages and long setbacks the rule rather than the exception. It’s the kind of property Plano’s price base makes possible: estate-scale living within five minutes of town services.
The location carries two facts buyers should internalize early. First, schools: despite the Plano address, Schaefer Woods feeds Yorkville CUSD 115 — district lines out here follow township geography, not city limits. Second, the Eldamain Road corridor at the neighborhood’s edge has quietly become one of Kendall County’s better outdoor assets, with the new Mary M. Subat Nature Center and the trail link connecting Hoover and Fox River Bluffs forest preserves via the Eldamain bridge.
The market here is thin and steady: only a handful of homes trade in a typical year, and 2025–2026 closings have landed in the $540s–$570s. Comps are scarce enough that pricing — and appraisal support — benefit from genuinely local data rather than county-wide averages. MLS-fed sources report only low association dues (figures conflict between aggregators), and our research surfaced no SSA; as always on acreage, wells, septic, and survey belong in the diligence file.
Pricing reflects Schaefer Woods sales and active listings as of mid-2026.
The neighborhood’s core: 2000s-onward custom builds of 2,700–4,000 square feet on roughly an acre, with recent closings between $540K and $570K. Comparable settings in the Naperville orbit run $150K–$250K more.
