Springbank is Plainfield’s largest master plan — 950 acres on the southwest side planned for about 1,880 homes, with the park district’s Springbank Aquatic Center at its entrance, miles of bike paths, an on-site elementary school, and building still underway.
Springbank is the biggest thing ever platted in Plainfield: a 950-acre master plan west of Drauden Road near Caton Farm Road, originally laid out in 2006 for roughly 1,880 homes — about 1,600 single-family plus townhomes — across nine phases. The 2008 downturn stalled it; a 2012 sale to new investors restarted it; and today it’s a rare hybrid market where D.R. Horton and Lennar production homes, Next Generation and Century custom builds, and 2010s resales all trade inside one community. Buildout continues in 2026.
The signature amenity isn’t behind a private gate — it’s the Springbank Aquatic Center, the Plainfield Park District’s nine-acre outdoor waterpark at the community’s entrance on Drauden Road, which means residents get resort-grade summer water without the HOA carrying costs. Inside the plan: miles of bike paths, neighborhood parks, and Meadow View Elementary on site. MLS-fed sources put HOA fees roughly at $50–$80 a month, though figures vary by section and source — we verify on every home, along with SSA status, which is standard diligence on any newer Plainfield master plan.
Pricing spans wider than any other Plainfield subdivision because the product does: roughly $430,000 for earlier resales up to $860,000 for recent custom and near-custom builds, with 2026’s median running around $590K. That spread is the opportunity — move-up buyers can enter at a resale number, and buyers who want new construction with mature-community infrastructure can have both at once. School feeds split by phase between Plainfield South and Central per MLS-fed sources, so we verify the assignment street by street.
Pricing reflects Springbank sales and market activity as of mid-2026.
The 2006–2015 phases: three- and four-bed two-stories with basements, many backing paths or ponds. This is the value door into a still-building master plan — 2026’s median sale ran near $590K community-wide.

The park district’s nine-acre outdoor waterpark sits at the community’s Drauden Road entrance — slides, pools, and summer programming without the private-HOA carrying cost. Season passes, not assessments.
The master plan reserved trail corridors from the start — paths thread the phases and connect toward the park district’s wider network and the Wesmere-area facilities nearby.
The community’s K–5 school sits inside the plan per MLS-fed sources — verify boundaries, which split by phase in this large a community.
New phases mean buyers can choose between resale value and new construction inside the same community — and existing owners benefit from the continued investment. We track each phase’s releases.
Springbank is served by Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202, with feeds that split by phase in a community this size. Verify current attendance boundaries with the district — D202 boundary changes take effect with the 2026–27 school year.
On site within the master plan per MLS-fed sources; some phases feed other district elementaries — confirm per address.
The middle school most Springbank addresses feed per MLS-fed sources; verify per address given the community’s size.
Most phases feed South per MLS-fed sources, with some feeding Plainfield Central — and D202’s 2026–27 boundary changes make street-level verification essential here.
