Custom homes on acre-plus wooded lots off Route 71 just southeast of downtown Yorkville, with more than 20 acres of common ground, a clubhouse, pool, and tennis courts in unincorporated Kendall County.
Oak Creek is one of Yorkville’s original custom-home communities. Developer Angelo Kleronomos of Property Concepts Inc. established the subdivision in 1987 on a 200-acre wooded property along Route 71 that he purchased from the Verona Fathers, a missionary order that had held the land since the early 1950s. Individual custom builders put up most of the homes between 1989 and 2002 along Oak Creek Drive and Winding Creek Road — named for the mature oaks on the site and for Morgan Creek, which winds through the south end of the property. The community sits in unincorporated Kendall County, east of the Fox River and a few minutes from downtown Yorkville.
The design brief was to keep the county setting intact: homes sit on lots of roughly an acre or more with real elevation change and heavy tree cover. Oak Creek is a planned unit development with an active homeowners association that maintains more than 20 acres of common area, including a clubhouse, outdoor pool, tennis and pickleball courts, a pond with fountain, a walking path, and a playground. An architectural review committee governs exterior changes under recorded covenants. Homes are on private wells and septic systems rather than city utilities.
For buyers, Oak Creek is Yorkville’s established acreage-and-amenities play: it combines estate-sized lots with a pool and clubhouse most custom communities around town don’t offer. Homes run roughly 3,000 to 6,300 square feet, and recent activity has been steady — a 3,634-square-foot home closed at $610,000 in May 2026, a 4,179-square-foot listing went pending at $644,900 in June 2026, and the largest homes have traded near $800,000–$820,000. Only a handful of homes change hands in a typical year, so well-priced listings draw attention quickly.
Pricing reflects Oak Creek sales and active listings as of mid-2026.
Homes run roughly 3,000–6,300+ square feet with 4–6 bedrooms, built lot-by-lot between 1989 and 2002. Most recent sales cluster in the mid-$500Ks to mid-$600Ks, with the largest homes — up to about 7,800 square feet of finished space — trading at $800,000 and above. Suits buyers who want acreage and mature trees without giving up community amenities.
See listings →A vacant lot closed at $69,900 in May 2026 and another has been offered at $85,000, so a new custom build is still possible here from time to time. Any new construction goes through the association’s architectural review committee and requires private well and septic.

The HOA operates an outdoor pool and clubhouse on the common grounds — the 2026 pool season opened in late May, and the association hosts community events there through the summer. Few of Yorkville’s custom-home communities carry this amenity package.
Association-owned tennis and pickleball courts sit within the common area, along with a playground. All of it is maintained through the monthly assessment.
Over 20 acres of shared open space includes a pond with fountain and a walking path. Morgan Creek winds along the south end of the development, and the mature oak cover that named the neighborhood is protected by its covenants.
Oak Creek sits outside Yorkville city limits in unincorporated Kendall County. Homes use private wells and septic systems, and property tax bills do not include City of Yorkville levies — recent listings show taxes roughly $9,000–$14,000 depending on the home.

Oak Creek is minutes from downtown Yorkville — the Route 71/47 corridor puts Bicentennial Riverfront Park, the Marge Cline Whitewater Course, and the downtown restaurant row a short drive away, with everyday shopping along Route 47 and Route 34.
Route 71 connects directly to Route 47 and Route 126 for Oswego, Plainfield, and Plano. The Route 34 corridor’s retail and employment base is about 10–15 minutes north, and Orchard Road provides a straight shot toward Aurora and I-88.
Drivers typically take Route 71/126 to I-55 or Orchard Road to I-88; downtown Chicago runs about an hour outside of peak times. Metra BNSF service is available from the Route 59 or Aurora stations, roughly 25–35 minutes away.
