O'Neil Property Group
A Will County village of 40,000 on the I-55 corridor with its own Metra station, Lewis University, and some of the strongest housing value inside the Chicago suburbs. Established subdivisions, a 55+ resort community, and a village amenity lineup that punches above its size.
Romeoville is where I send buyers who want real suburban infrastructure—an interstate, a Metra station, a university, a full parks system—without paying DuPage County prices for it. The village sits on the Des Plaines River about 30 miles southwest of the Loop, wedged between Bolingbrook to the north and Joliet to the south, and the median sale price is running near $330K. That number buys a bigger, newer house here than almost anywhere else this close to I-55.
The name has a story: the town was platted in the 1830s as “Romeo,” the companion town to neighboring “Juliet”—which later renamed itself Joliet. Romeo became Romeoville, and the village grew slowly as a canal-and-quarry town until the late 1950s, when the Hampton Park subdivision brought thousands of affordable ranches and split-levels and turned Romeoville into a true commuter suburb almost overnight.
The second growth wave came in the late 1990s and 2000s, west of Weber Road: Wesglen, Weslake, Lakewood Falls, Malibu Bay, Marquette Estates, and Del Webb’s 55+ Grand Haven community all date to that run, and D.R. Horton’s Renwick Place finished out the last big tract in the years after 2018. Today Romeoville is essentially built out, which means this is a resale market—and because Hampton Park, the 2000s subdivisions, and the newer builds all trade at different price points, the village covers everything from sub-$250K starter homes to $500K+ move-up houses.
What surprises relocating buyers most is the amenity package. The village runs a recreation center, an athletic and event center at Uptown Square, and the Heritage Falls outdoor water park; Mistwood Golf Club is one of the better public courses in the region; and Lewis University’s campus anchors the east side of town. The I-55 logistics corridor keeps the commercial tax base—and the local job market—strong.
I-55 runs along the west side of the village with full interchanges at Weber Road and Route 126/Airport Road, and I-355 picks up a few minutes east for the DuPage tech corridor. Route 53 is the main north-south spine through town. Romeoville also has something most towns this size don’t: its own Metra station. The Heritage Corridor stop at 135th Street and New Avenue opened in 2018 and runs weekday rush-hour service—three inbound trains in the morning, three outbound in the evening—straight into Union Station. Commuters who need more schedule flexibility drive to the BNSF line at Lisle or Route 59. Midway Airport is roughly 30 minutes up I-55.
What we’re seeing on the ground across Romeoville neighborhoods as of summer 2026.
Romeoville’s median sale price is running near $330K—up roughly 10% year over year—with the typical home value around $307K. Townhomes and condos generally trade between $230K and $340K. Compare Bolingbrook at ~$390K or Naperville north of $525K.
Well-priced homes are going pending in about three weeks, and nearly half of Romeoville sales are still closing at or above list price. Homes that miss on price sit noticeably longer—pricing discipline is what separates fast sales from stale listings here.
Inventory typically runs between 70 and 100 active listings across the village—single-family resales, townhomes, condos, and a handful of lots. Selection is best in the $280K–$420K band, where most of Romeoville’s housing stock lives.
Romeoville is essentially built out. D.R. Horton completed the buildout of Renwick Place, and no large new subdivision is actively selling in the village—so buyers who want newer construction shop the 2000s-built resale stock or nearby Plainfield and Joliet.
The steadiest pipeline is value-driven buyers moving out of Cook and DuPage counties, plus first-time buyers priced out of Bolingbrook and Naperville. The I-55 employment corridor keeps demand local, too—plenty of buyers already work within ten minutes of town.
Romeoville’s effective property tax rate runs about 2.9%, with a median annual bill near $6,900—a meaningfully lower dollar figure than most of DuPage despite the higher rate, because home values are lower. Tax bills vary by subdivision and exemptions, so always verify the full bill on any specific property in Will County.
Every subdivision in Romeoville has its own feel. Scroll through the ones our buyers ask about most.
One of Romeoville’s signature communities, built by Neumann Homes in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Singles and townhomes with a clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, parks, and ponds. Resale demand here stays consistent year-round.
Explore Wesglen →A large Lakewood Homes community on the southwest side with singles, duplexes, and townhomes built around ponds and open space. Wide price range inside one neighborhood makes it a first stop for a lot of my buyers.
Explore Lakewood Falls →Del Webb’s gated 55+ community—about 677 ranch singles and townhomes around a 15,000 sq ft clubhouse with indoor and outdoor pools, pickleball, and a full activities calendar. The area’s go-to for active-adult downsizing.
Explore Grand Haven →Romeoville’s original subdivision—ranches and split-levels from the late 1950s onward on the east side near the parks and rec core. The most affordable single-family entry point in the village, with no HOA and strong renovation upside.
Explore Hampton Park →Single-family homes from the late 1990s and early 2000s by Lexington and Neumann, south of Taylor Road with ponds, a clubhouse, and low HOA dues. One of the first places I show move-up buyers who want more square footage.
Explore Weslake →The Marquette communities and Malibu Bay cover Romeoville’s attached-home market—townhomes and condos from the 2000s that typically trade in the $260K–$340K range. The practical entry point for first-time buyers and downsizers.

The village invests hard in quality of life: the Romeoville Recreation Center, the Athletic & Event Center at Uptown Square, and the Heritage Falls outdoor water park cover fitness, sports leagues, and summer swimming. Uptown Square doubles as the community gathering spot for markets and seasonal events.
O’Hara Woods Preserve and its spring wildflowers sit right in the middle of town, Volunteer Park adds a skate park, and Lake Strini draws anglers. On the edges: the 680-acre Prairie Bluff Preserve, Lake Renwick’s heron rookery, and the Centennial Trail along the Des Plaines River corridor.

RomeoFest brings four days of live music, carnival rides, and fireworks every August. The village runs concerts, markets, and holiday events through the year, and the Isle a la Cache Museum on the Des Plaines River tells the area’s French fur-trade story with family programming.
Most of my Romeoville buyers are leaving Cook or DuPage County, or getting priced out of Bolingbrook and Naperville. The pitch is simple: a median price near $330K, direct I-55 and I-355 access, a Metra station in town, and a village amenity package—rec center, water park, golf—that most similarly priced towns can’t match.
Housing drives the math. The typical Romeoville home runs about $307K—hundreds of dollars a month less in mortgage payment than comparable homes in Naperville or central DuPage. Day-to-day costs track the rest of the southwest suburbs, and the Weber Road corridor keeps errands close.
The effective rate is about 2.9% with a median annual bill near $6,900. Rates and exemptions vary block to block, and Will County reassesses on its own cycle—so always verify the actual tax bill on a specific property before you offer. We pull the county records on every home we show.
Everything day-to-day is here or ten minutes away: groceries and big-box retail on Weber Road, healthcare at nearby hospitals in Bolingbrook, Joliet, and Naperville, and the I-55 corridor’s deep job base. Weber Road carries real traffic at rush hour—locals learn the Route 53 and Airport Road alternatives fast.
Our office is at 201 E Veterans Parkway in Yorkville, and we work Will County daily. Our agents know which Romeoville subdivisions carry HOAs and which don’t, how Hampton Park pricing differs block to block, and what Grand Haven’s 55+ resale market actually does.
We track pricing, inventory, and days-on-market across every Romeoville subdivision—Wesglen to Weslake to Lakewood Falls. That detail turns into sharper pricing for sellers and smarter offers for buyers. National brokerages covering 50 zip codes can’t match it.
Romeoville runs from sub-$250K Hampton Park ranches to $500K+ Wesglen and Weslake singles, plus the 55+ market at Grand Haven. We work all of it—first-time buyers, move-up sellers, downsizers, and investors get the same level of service.
Professional photography, strategic pricing, targeted marketing, contract negotiation, and closing coordination. With nearly half of Romeoville homes still selling at or above list, preparation and presentation are what capture that premium. We make sure you’re ready.
Romeoville’s rental demand is steady, driven by the I-55 employment corridor and Lewis University. We provide rental demand analysis, cash flow projections, and access to on-market and off-market opportunities across Will County.
Our Google reviews tell the story: responsive communication, local expertise, and results. We earn referrals by delivering a level of service that national platforms and discount brokerages can’t match.
