Live Batavia listings updated daily from the MLS — plus what local buyers should know before making a move.
Several Batavia neighborhoods were built with schools inside or beside them, and for households organizing life around the morning walk, those streets are the search. Grace McWayne Elementary sits inside Tanglewood Hills; Ashton Ridge is in walking distance of both H.C. Storm Elementary and Batavia High School; Fox Trail is under a mile from Rotolo Middle School; and J.B. Nelson Elementary serves the Prairie Commons corridor. This feed surfaces listings marketing school proximity — the boundary verification is on us.

Active listings pulled directly from the MLS.
Expect the walk-to-school premium to concentrate in the subdivisions named above, with sidewalk-connected routes that don’t cross the major arterials — Kirk, Randall, and Fabyan are the crossings that define “walkable” here in practice. New Ashton Ridge homes make the pitch explicitly; the 1990s stock delivers it quietly on the east side.
One boundary fact worth knowing cold: Batavia PSD 101 serves most of the city, but the Batavia Highlands neighborhood east of the river is served by Geneva CUSD 304, and district lines also cross municipal borders near Aurora and North Aurora — the new Harvest Point and Abbey Meadows communities carry Aurora addresses with Batavia 101 assignment. Attendance boundaries are set by address and can change; always confirm the current assignment directly with the district before you contract.
We verify three things on every “near schools” purchase: the current district and school assignment for the exact address (in writing, from the district), the actual walking route and crossings, and any boundary-change discussions in recent board minutes. Proximity claims in listings are marketing until verified — verification is part of our standard diligence.
Homes with confirmed walk-to-school locations hold a durable resale premium — the buyer pool renews itself every few years by definition. Fair warning on timing: this segment’s inventory clusters in spring, when households list to close before the next school year, and competition peaks with it.
Whether you are just starting your search or ready to schedule a showing, Kealan O’Neil is here to help you every step of the way.
