Living in Courthouse Square

Courthouse Square occupies the grounds of the 1896 DuPage County Courthouse at Liberty Drive and Washington Street—the landmark building restored and converted as the centerpiece of a Focus Development project (with Airhart Construction building the townhomes and Antunovich Associates as architect) whose main build-out ran 2006–2008. The community combines a seven-story elevator condo building with Georgetown-style brick rowhomes around the restored courthouse and its green, making it downtown Wheaton’s only luxury-scale residential address—and one of the few places in the western suburbs where you can own new-century construction on genuinely historic grounds.

The product splits clearly. Condos in the midrise run from about 720 square feet up, trading recently from roughly $309K to $535K, with elevator access, exercise facility, party room, storage, and on-site management. The rowhomes are the premium tier—up to about 4,600 square feet of vertical brick townhome—trading from the $800Ks to a 2026 close at $1.27M. Assessments run roughly $300–$655 monthly by unit type and coverage. On unit count, sources differ—the developer’s materials describe roughly 100 residences (50 midrise condos, 6 luxury condos, 46 townhomes) while some MLS-fed sources show fewer—so treat “approximately 100” as the working figure.

What you’re really buying is the location pattern: Front Street’s restaurants, the French Market, the library, and the Wheaton Metra station about three blocks away, with the courthouse green as your front yard. School service is CUSD 200—commonly Lowell Elementary, Franklin Middle, and Wheaton North—with the usual note to confirm current attendance boundaries with the district. For downsizers leaving big south-Wheaton homes and professionals who want the train, this is the address that solves for both.
