O'Neil Property Group
An established DuPage County village in Chicago’s Western Suburbs, about 23 miles west of the Loop, with mid-century ranches and split-levels, townhomes and condos, and quick access to I-355, I-290, and O’Hare.
Addison is a village of about 35,700 people (2020 Census) in northeastern DuPage County, part of Chicago’s Western Suburbs, roughly 23 miles west of the Loop and 11 miles from O’Hare. Settlers arrived along Salt Creek in the 1830s at a spot called Dunklee’s Grove, and the village incorporated in 1884 with about 400 residents. Addison stayed a small farm town until after World War II. Developers began turning farmland into subdivisions in the 1950s, and the population climbed from about 800 in 1950 to more than 32,000 by 1990. Most of the village was built out between the late 1950s and the 1980s, and that still shapes what comes up for sale today.
The housing stock is mostly mid-century brick and frame ranches, split-levels, raised ranches, and two-stories on established lots, with condo buildings and townhome communities mixed in along the main roads. Subdivisions such as Normandy Manor, Old Mill Estates, Highview Park, Kings Point, and Green Ridge are resale neighborhoods built out decades ago, while a few newer pockets such as Mill Creek and Woodcrest have added newer single-family homes. Addison also has a large business and industrial base. The village’s largest employers include UPS, Parts Town, and The Pampered Chef, and plenty of residents work within a few miles of home.
Prices sit in the middle of the DuPage County market. Over the past year, monthly median sale prices have generally landed between the high $300Ks and the low $400Ks based on Redfin data. Condos commonly trade from the low $100Ks to the mid $200Ks, townhomes from the high $200Ks into the $500s, and most single-family homes from the $300Ks into the $500s. Property taxes run roughly 2% to 2.25% of market value based on Ownwell and Census survey estimates. Most of the village is served by Addison School District 4 and DuPage High School District 88. County context is on our DuPage County page.
Who fits here? Buyers who want a DuPage County address at a lower entry price than neighbors like Elmhurst, people who work near O’Hare or in the I-355 and I-290 business corridors, and buyers who want a ranch or split-level with a yard and a garage. Who doesn’t: buyers who want to walk to a Metra train, anyone set on a historic walkable downtown, buyers who want acreage or a large new-construction subdivision, and anyone who wants a setting far from highway and truck traffic. When Villa Park, Lombard, Elmhurst, or Glen Ellyn fits better, we say so.
Addison sits between two interstates. I-355 has an interchange at Lake Street on the west side of the village, I-290 runs along the north side, and Route 53 and Route 83 carry north-south traffic, with Lake Street (US 20) and Army Trail Road as the main east-west roads. Downtown Chicago is about 23 miles away, roughly 35 minutes by car with light traffic and longer at rush hour, and O’Hare International Airport is about 11 miles. Addison has no Metra station of its own. Commuters drive about 3.5 to 4.5 miles to Itasca or Wood Dale on the Milwaukee District West line, or to Lombard or Villa Park on the Union Pacific West line, and Pace buses serve the village.
Addison is a steady, mid-sized DuPage market with a wide spread between condos, townhomes, and single-family homes. Monthly medians move with the mix of what closes, so these are the durable ranges we use when advising buyers and sellers here.
Over the past year, Addison’s monthly median sale price has generally landed between the high $300Ks and the low $400Ks based on Redfin data. A month heavy with condo sales pulls the median down, and a month with more single-family closings pushes it up, so we price each home against its own property type.
Most ranches, split-levels, and raised ranches trade from the $300Ks into the $400s depending on size, updates, and lot. Larger and newer homes in subdivisions such as Green Ridge, Foxdale, and Mill Creek commonly reach the $500s and $600s, and a small number of custom homes sell higher.
Condo buildings such as Briar Hill, Chateau Mill, La Londe Place, and Kings Point give Addison some of the lowest entry prices in this part of DuPage County. Monthly assessments, reserves, special assessments, and rental or lender rules vary by building, and we review them before you write an offer.
Established townhome communities such as Tamarac and Wenbriar Square usually sell from the high $200Ks into the $300s, while newer developments such as Bella Oaks and Villa Torino reach higher. HOA dues and what they cover differ by community, so we compare the full monthly cost, not just the price.
Property taxes run roughly 2% to 2.25% of market value based on Ownwell and Census survey estimates, with median bills in the $6,000s. The exact bill depends on the school and park districts for that parcel and on exemptions. We read the actual tax bill on every home before a client offers. See our DuPage County guide.
Addison usually sees a few dozen closings a month, and well-prepared homes priced against recent comparable sales have generally sold close to asking price. Homes priced above the comps, or that need work the price doesn’t reflect, tend to sit. Spring and early summer bring the most new listings.
Addison has dozens of named subdivisions and condo buildings, but buyers usually sort it by home style and price point. Here is how we talk about it on showings.
The core of Addison’s housing: brick and frame ranches, split-levels, and raised ranches in subdivisions such as Normandy Manor, Old Mill Estates, and Highview Park. Updates, lot size, and garage setup drive value more than square footage alone.
Browse $300K–$500K Homes →Subdivisions such as Kings Point, Green Ridge, Green Meadows, and Foxdale carry more two-stories and larger ranches on established streets. These homes usually sit at the upper end of Addison’s single-family range and draw buyers who need more bedrooms.
Browse 4+ Bedroom Homes →Addison is mostly built out, but pockets such as Mill Creek and Woodcrest have added newer single-family homes, and areas like Farmwood Estates include custom homes. Expect these to trade at the top of the local market and to come up only a few times a year.
Browse $500K+ Homes →Established communities such as Tamarac and Wenbriar Square offer attached living at moderate prices, while newer developments such as Bella Oaks and Villa Torino sit higher. Dues, exterior maintenance coverage, and parking vary by association.

Most of Addison is served by Addison School District 4 for preschool through 8th grade and DuPage High School District 88 for high school. Homes near the village edges can fall in neighboring districts, including Wood Dale SD 7, Itasca SD 10, Bensenville SD 2, Lombard SD 44, Marquardt SD 15, and SD 45, with high school through Fenton, Glenbard, or Lake Park districts.
District 4’s early learning center serves preschool students at 650 South Ardmore Avenue, next to Ardmore Elementary on the south side of the village.
District 4 operates seven elementary schools in the village: Ardmore, Army Trail, Fullerton, Lake Park, Lincoln, Stone, and Wesley. The district sets grade configurations and attendance areas for each school.
Indian Trail Junior High is District 4’s middle school for 6th through 8th grade, at 222 North J.F. Kennedy Drive, where the district office is also located.
Addison Trail High School is at 213 North Lombard Road in Addison. It is one of two high schools in DuPage High School District 88, which also operates Willowbrook High School in Villa Park.
Note: School district boundaries do not follow village limits or the 60101 ZIP code, and they change. Always verify the current school assignment for any specific address directly with the district before you buy. Our team confirms this on every showing.
The Addison Park District, formed in 1969, manages 25 park sites covering more than 280 acres. Community Park on the east side has a splash pad and community center, and Centennial Park on the west side is home to Club Fitness, with an indoor pool and fitness center.
Cricket Creek Forest Preserve in Addison has more than 3 miles of trails, including a link to the 30-mile Salt Creek Greenway Trail. Salt Creek Park offers more trails and canoe access to the creek, all managed by the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County.
Each summer the village hosts Rock ’N Wheels, free Thursday-evening concerts on the Village Green at Friendship Plaza with food vendors, a craft and vintage fair, and a cruise-night car show nearby. It is the village’s signature summer gathering.
Lake Street (US 20), Army Trail Road, and the Mill Road area hold most of Addison’s restaurants, from long-running local spots to familiar chains. Downtown Elmhurst, about 5 miles east, adds more sit-down restaurants and a train-town downtown.
Grocery stores, big-box retail, and everyday services line Lake Street and the village’s other main corridors, so most errands stay close to home. Oakbrook Center is about 8 miles south, and Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg is about 10 miles north.
The park district’s Links & Tees on Lake Street has a 9-hole course, a practice range, mini golf, and an indoor golf dome. The Addison Public Library, in a building opened in 2008, sits beside Village Hall at Friendship Plaza.
Most buyers come for location and value: a DuPage County address at a lower entry price than several neighboring towns, quick highway access to O’Hare and the I-355 and I-290 job corridors, and established neighborhoods with yards and garages. Others work at one of the many employers in Addison itself.
Purchase prices span a wide range, from condos in the low $100Ks to single-family homes in the $500s and up. Property taxes run roughly 2% to 2.25% of market value with median bills in the $6,000s, and condo and townhome dues come on top, so we model the full monthly cost before you fall in love with a listing.
Village Hall, the library, and the Village Green sit together at Friendship Plaza. Many homes are 40 to 70 years old, so inspections matter, and parts of town along Salt Creek are in mapped flood areas, which we check against FEMA maps on every home. ComEd provides electricity and Nicor provides natural gas.
Expect quiet residential side streets with busy commercial and industrial corridors close by, including truck traffic near the business districts. Plan on driving for most errands and to the train. Summer Thursday concerts on the Village Green are the easiest way to get to know the town.
A condo, a townhome, and a split-level in Addison are three different markets. We price from the right set of recent comparable sales, so you neither leave money on the table nor overpay.
Most Addison homes were built decades ago. We know what to look for on a mid-century ranch or split-level, from sewer lines to electrical panels, and line up the right inspections.
We read association budgets, reserves, rules, and recent minutes, and we confirm lender approvals early, so a building issue doesn’t derail your closing.
We check FEMA flood maps along Salt Creek, confirm the school and park districts, and read the actual tax bill on every home before you offer.
When the right Addison listing appears, speed matters more than browsing. We set custom MLS alerts and can often get you through the door the same day or next morning.
