O'Neil Property Group
Newark’s main in-village subdivision, off Townhouse Road with Norwegian-heritage street names — ranches and two-stories from the 1990s and 2000s on quarter-acre lots with municipal water and sewer, and no HOA. 2025 sales ran $330K to $385K.
Norge Hills is where most of Newark’s in-village home sales actually happen. Tucked off Route 71 via Townhouse Road, its street names — Rennesoy Drive, Norway Street — nod to the Norwegian settlers who shaped this corner of Kendall County, and its homes deliver what village living here is supposed to: a real house, on a real lot, on municipal water and sewer, with the town’s parks and schools a few blocks away.
The homes are ranches and two-stories built from the mid-1990s through the mid-2000s — documented builds include 1995, 2001, and 2004 — running roughly 1,300 to 2,800 square feet with three to four bedrooms on quarter-acre lots. There’s no HOA and, unlike much of the new construction east of Route 47, no Special Service Area on the tax bill. What the county assessor says is what you pay, and Newark’s effective rate runs below the county median.
Three Norge Hills sales closed in 2025: two at $385,000 (August and September) and one at $330,000 (October) — and that $330K home had sold for $285K only eighteen months earlier, a measure of how this segment has appreciated. Townhouse Park, with its ball fields, pavilions, and veterans memorial, effectively serves as the neighborhood park, and both District 66’s elementary school and the high school are under a mile away on Chicago Road. When buyers ask me for the practical Newark option — the one with utilities, sidewalk-close schools, and resale liquidity — this is it.
Pricing reflects Norge Hills sales and active listings as of mid-2026.
The larger Norge Hills product: three- and four-bed two-stories up to about 2,800 square feet. Both top-of-range 2025 sales ($385K in August and September) were homes of this type.
See listings →Single-level living on the same quarter-acre lots — the segment downsizers ask for first. Ranch inventory here is limited and tends to sell quickly when priced with the recent comps.
See listings →Newark village homes have been closing about 2% under asking. Norge Hills’ 2025 sales support that: correctly priced homes here don’t leave room for discount-hunting.

Every home connects to the Village of Newark’s water and sewer systems — no well maintenance, no septic pumping, quarterly billing. Among Newark-area subdivisions, only the in-village streets offer this.
The village’s largest park — ball fields, three rentable pavilions, concession stand, and the veterans memorial — sits on Townhouse Road at the neighborhood’s doorstep.
The Charles B. Phillips Public Library, Downtown Park, and the Main Street strip (Country Kitchen, Geo’s Pizzeria) are all a short walk or bike ride away.
No association dues and no Special Service Area line items — a genuine contrast with much of the county’s newer construction, where SSAs add hundreds or thousands a year.
Norge Hills is served by Newark Community Consolidated School District 66 and Newark Community High School District 18, both with campuses inside the village. School names, grades, and locations are provided as facts only — always confirm current attendance boundaries with the district for any specific address.
On Chicago Road, under a mile from the neighborhood — a two-school district of about 205 students.
District 66’s upper school on Fox River Drive in Millbrook, roughly ten minutes by car with district bus service.
On Chicago Road a few blocks from downtown — about 175 students, with class sizes to match.
Everything Newark offers is minutes away on foot or bike: Townhouse Park next door, the library and Downtown Park up the street, and the Main Street strip for breakfast and pizza. The Fourth of July parade route is effectively the neighborhood’s north edge.
Route 71 runs northeast to Yorkville in about 15 minutes and on to Oswego; Route 47 south reaches I-80 at Morris in roughly 20 minutes. Plano — groceries, Walmart, Amtrak — is 15 minutes north.
About 60 miles: plan on 90 minutes driving, or take Amtrak from Plano (four daily trains to Union Station). The Aurora Transportation Center, Metra’s nearest boarding point, is about 40 minutes away.
