Persimmon Woods is one of St. Charles’ original custom estate enclaves — homes from 3,100 to 9,500+ square feet under mature trees on the north east side, bordering the St. Charles Country Club corridor.
Persimmon Woods runs along Persimmon Drive and Crabapple Lane on St. Charles’ north east side — east of Route 25 and south of Country Club Road — bordering the St. Charles Country Club corridor. It developed from the late 1970s through the mid-2000s as pure custom construction: no production builder, no repeated plans, just estate homes of 3,100 to more than 9,500 square feet under a canopy that predates most of the town’s subdivisions. Lots run to three acres, some on ponds.
This is a low-turnover market by nature — a year with more than a handful of sales is unusual — and 2025–26 proved the point at the top: the only recent closing was 2450 Persimmon Drive, a 9,512-square-foot estate that brought $4,000,000 in April 2026, the highest recorded sale in the neighborhood and among the highest in town. That number is an outlier, not a comp; the neighborhood’s underlying band, based on prior closings and current listings, runs from roughly $700K into the low millions depending on scale and renovation.
Ownership costs stay simple for the tier: the association assessment is about $250 a year, there’s no special service area, and typical tax bills run in the high teens. The neighborhood borders — but does not include — the private St. Charles Country Club, and Delnor Woods Park, Norris Woods Nature Preserve, and Hunt Club Park all sit within minutes. One data note: Persimmon Drive continues south into the Hunt Club subdivision, so street-based comps blend two different markets — we separate them when pricing.
Pricing reflects Persimmon Woods sales and listings as of mid-2026. Sales volume in established neighborhoods can be thin — we verify against live comps before you price or offer.
Based on prior closings — $699K on Crabapple Lane, $1.14M on Persimmon Drive in earlier cycles — this is where most Persimmon Woods homes have historically traded: 3,100–5,000 square feet under mature trees.

The neighborhood’s defining asset: mature hardwoods over winding streets, on lots to three acres — a setting newer estate communities can’t buy at any price.
Persimmon Woods borders the private St. Charles Country Club’s par-72 course. The club is separate from the neighborhood, but the corridor’s green space shapes the setting.
Delnor Woods Park, Norris Woods Nature Preserve, Hunt Club Park, and Pottawatomie Park’s riverfront are all within a few minutes — the north east side’s quiet advantage.
About $250 a year in assessments and no SSA — for the estate tier, the ongoing obligations are unusually clean. Taxes are the real line item; we pull actual bills on every showing.
