Woodlake Landing is a residential airpark about two miles southwest of downtown Sandwich — homeowners share a private 2,988-foot paved runway (FAA identifier IS65), with custom homes from the mid-1980s onward bordering Edgebrook Country Club’s golf course.
Woodlake Landing is one of the Chicago area’s few residential airpark communities. It sits on Wright Drive south of US Route 34 and west of Gletty Road, about two miles southwest of downtown Sandwich in DeKalb County — and its signature amenity is a working private airport. Woodlake Landing Airport (FAA identifier IS65) spreads across 46 acres with a 2,988-by-50-foot paved runway (8/26) plus a 1,750-foot turf crosswind runway (18/36), with traffic coordinated on Unicom 122.8.
The homes are custom and semi-custom builds by various builders — no single production builder is documented — platted in units along Wright Drive from the late 1970s through the early 2000s, with most dating from the mid-1980s onward. Typical resales run roughly 2,000 to 2,630 square feet with 3 to 4 bedrooms. Recent sales have ranged from about $306,500 to $449,900, and occasional buildable lots have listed around $48,000 — a rare chance to build new inside an established airpark.
Beyond the runway, the setting does a lot of the work: the neighborhood borders Edgebrook Country Club’s par-72 golf course, streets are lit, and downtown Sandwich — with its 1878 Opera House and the Sandwich Fairgrounds — is minutes up US 34. No association details are documented in the sources we reviewed, so verify association status and any airstrip-use fees on a per-listing basis. The community sits in Sandwich CUSD 430.

The community’s private airfield covers 46 acres about 2 nautical miles southwest of Sandwich: runway 8/26 is 2,988 by 50 feet of asphalt, backed by an 1,750-foot turf crosswind runway (18/36), with traffic on Unicom 122.8. It is the amenity that makes Woodlake Landing one of the region’s few true airpark neighborhoods.
The neighborhood borders Edgebrook Country Club and its par-72 course, putting a full round of golf effectively at the end of the street.
With no production builder in the record, the streetscape is a mix of one-off custom and semi-custom homes built over roughly 25 years — so floor plans, exteriors and lot treatments vary house to house.
Streets are lit, and US 34 puts downtown Sandwich — Railroad Street, the 1878 Opera House, the Sandwich Fairgrounds — about two miles away.

Woodlake Landing sits about two miles southwest of downtown, with Edgebrook Country Club immediately adjacent. Downtown’s Railroad Street, the 1878 City Hall & Opera House and the Sandwich Fairgrounds — home of the Sandwich Fair since 1888 — are a short drive up US 34.
US Route 34 runs just north of the neighborhood: roughly 6 miles east to Plano, 13 miles to Yorkville and about 25 miles to Aurora — and the on-site IS65 airstrip gives the neighborhood a fly-out option almost no Chicago-area subdivision can match.
IL Route 23 crosses US 34 in Sandwich — north to DeKalb and I-88 in roughly 20 miles, south toward Ottawa and I-80. Amtrak stops in neighboring Plano, and Metra’s BNSF line terminates in Aurora.
Airpark properties trade on details most agents never check — runway access terms, association status, lot rights. We pull the record before you offer.
