Fox Highlands is a smaller early-2000s neighborhood off Route 47 on Yorkville’s south side, mixing single-family homes with attached duplex-style townhomes — one of the few south-side options with a low-maintenance product.
Fox Highlands went up between roughly 2000 and 2006 along the east side of Route 47 on Yorkville’s south side, south of the Fox River. It’s a compact subdivision with two distinct products: conventional two-story and ranch single-family homes on lots around a quarter to a third of an acre, and attached ranch-style duplex and townhome units sold under a homeowners association. Attached floor plans in the neighborhood include the Adams, Bristol, Cornell, Dunbar, Prairieview, and Sanibel, running from about 1,322 to 1,933 square feet.
This is a quieter, mostly built-out pocket rather than an amenity community — the draws are sidewalks, street lighting, neighborhood green space, and position. Route 47 puts downtown Yorkville, the riverfront, and the Route 71 and Route 126 corridors within a few minutes’ drive, and single-family owners here have no monthly association fee to carry. The attached sections trade that for exterior and lawn maintenance handled by the association.
For buyers, Fox Highlands covers two briefs at once. The attached homes are among Yorkville’s more attainable south-side options and suit downsizers or anyone who wants single-level, low-maintenance living. The single-family side has been closing from about $300K into the low $400s — recent sales include a 2,243-square-foot four-bedroom at $423,000 — which positions the neighborhood below Yorkville’s newer large-format subdivisions. Inventory is thin in a neighborhood this size; listings are sporadic, so ready buyers should expect to move quickly when one surfaces.

See listings →Ranch-style attached units of roughly 1,322–1,933 square feet with 2–3 bedrooms, sold with an association handling exterior and lawn care for roughly $220–$290/month. These suit downsizers and first-time buyers wanting south-side Yorkville at a lower entry point; sales are infrequent, so pricing on any given unit should be confirmed against current comps.

Few Yorkville subdivisions offer both fee-simple single-family homes and association-maintained attached units in one neighborhood. That mix lets households change product without changing neighborhoods.
The neighborhood fronts the Route 47 corridor on the south side of town, so downtown Yorkville, the Kendall County courthouse area, and the Route 71 and Route 126 junctions are all within about a five-minute drive.
Bicentennial Riverfront Park, the Marge Cline Whitewater Course, and the downtown riverfront restaurants sit a short drive north across the Fox River bridge.
The subdivision was built with sidewalks, curbs, and street lighting throughout, plus neighborhood park space — an established streetscape with two decades of tree growth.

Route 47 runs north to Route 34 and on toward I-88; Route 71 and Route 126 connect east to Oswego and Plainfield. Aurora, Naperville, and the Fox Valley employment corridor are generally 25–40 minutes depending on destination.
