Ashton Ridge is Pulte’s redevelopment of the former Siemens factory site at McKee Street and Van Nortwick Avenue — 73 single-family homes and roughly 90 townhomes under construction about a mile from downtown Batavia, with townhomes from $399,990.
Ashton Ridge is the most interesting new-construction story in the Tri-Cities: Pulte took the 1000 McKee Street brownfield where the Siemens/Furnas factory once stood — a mile west of downtown Batavia — and is turning it into roughly 160 residences: 73 single-family homes plus a townhome neighborhood, approved in 2024 with construction underway since 2025. Infill at this scale, walkable to a real downtown, essentially does not happen elsewhere in the Fox Valley.
The single-family side builds Pulte’s life-tested lineup from the Vista ranch to the Woodward, roughly 1,500 to 3,100 square feet, from $499,990 with active listings optioned into the $600s. Ashton Ridge Towns start at $399,990 for two-story plans of about 1,883–2,500 square feet with 2-car garages — quick move-ins have priced in the $450K–$490K range. Homesites back to open space, and Engstrom Family Park sits nearby.
The location does double duty: H.C. Storm Elementary and Batavia High School are both in walking distance, downtown’s river blocks are about a mile east, and the Geneva Metra station is roughly 2.5 miles north. One structural note we explain to every buyer: the community carries a dormant backup SSA (No. 71, capped at $0.75 per $100 EAV) that levies nothing while the HOA maintains its stormwater and common areas — standard mechanics for new Batavia subdivisions.
Pricing reflects Ashton Ridge sales and active listings as of mid-2026.
