Fox Trail is southeast Batavia’s signature move-up neighborhood — three connected 1990s plats off Hart Road with two-story homes of roughly 2,100 to 4,600 square feet, ponds, parks, tennis courts, and no HOA. Recent sales ran $565K–$775K.
Fox Trail is really three connected plats — Fox Trail, Fox Trail North, and Fox Trail South — built between 1990 and 2007 along the Hart Road corridor on Batavia’s east side, south of Pine Street and west of Kirk Road. Together they form the city’s largest concentration of 1990s move-up housing: mostly four-bedroom two-stories from about 2,148 square feet in the core sections up to 4,657 in the North plat, on generously platted lots with the era’s mature-by-now trees.
The neighborhood’s draws are practical: ponds and open water threading the plats, parks, a playground, tennis courts, sidewalks throughout — and no homeowners association, which still distinguishes Batavia’s 1990s stock from nearly everything built since. Rotolo Middle School sits under a mile away, and Louise White Elementary serves the area from near the river.
The market here is steady and quick: 2025–2026 activity ran from about $565,000 to $775,000 across the three sections, including a June 2026 closing at $671,500, with the North plat’s largest homes setting the ceiling. Annual taxes commonly run in the $12,000 range. For move-up buyers comparing against Geneva or St. Charles equivalents, Fox Trail is consistently the more-house-for-the-money answer.

Open water threads all three plats — a meaningful share of lots back to ponds rather than neighbors, and the premiums for them are consistent.
