Farnham is south-central Wheaton’s mid-century neighborhood — 1960s–70s homes on 0.3-acre lots between Kelly Park and 66-acre Seven Gables Park, with no HOA and steady teardown-rebuild activity raising the ceiling.
Farnham runs along Farnham Lane west of Naperville Road—Shelley Lane, Wadsworth Road, Thompson Drive, Gamon Road—in the pocket of south-central Wheaton framed by Kelly Park on one side and 66-acre Seven Gables Park on the other, with the Chicago Golf Club’s grounds nearby to the west. The core housing stock is mid-century: 1960s and 70s two-stories, split-levels, and ranches (records stretch from the mid-1950s to recent years because of rebuild activity), on lots averaging about three-tenths of an acre under mature trees. There’s no HOA—these are established, unencumbered streets.
The market runs two tracks at once. The established track: eight sales closed in 2025 at a median around $671K, with 2026 closings between about $685K and $800K—solid move-up territory below Danada and Stonehedge pricing. The rebuild track: Farnham’s lot sizes and location have made it one of Wheaton’s active teardown-and-new-build pockets, with recent new construction listing from the mid $800Ks past $1M. That second track matters even if you never build—it sets a rising ceiling that supports renovation investment across the neighborhood.
Buyers here are usually solving for land, parks, and value: more lot than Scottdale, less price than Danada, with two significant parks in walking distance and the schools corridor of CUSD 200’s south side—commonly Lincoln or Whittier Elementary, Edison Middle, and Wheaton Warrenville South, with the standard advice to confirm current attendance boundaries with the district. Sellers of original-condition homes should know both audiences are bidding: end-users and builders, and we market to each differently.

Sixty-six acres of park district land at the neighborhood’s edge—athletic fields, open space, and trail connections—with Kelly Park covering the playground side closer in.
The historic club’s grounds border the area to the west—one of American golf’s founding courses—lending the corridor its estate character (private club; adjacency, not access).
Fee-simple ownership with no association overhead—add, fence, and renovate within city zoning rather than association rules.
Active teardown-new-build investment keeps raising comparable ceilings—a tailwind for renovators and long-term owners alike.
