Timber Ridge
A custom estate enclave of roughly 60 homes on wooded one- to two-acre lots between Route 34 and the north bank of the Fox River on Yorkville’s east side.
Living in Timber Ridge
Timber Ridge is one of Yorkville’s original custom-home communities: roughly 60 single-family estates platted on the wooded ground between US Route 34 (E Veterans Parkway) and the north bank of the Fox River, on the city’s east side about two miles east of Route 47. The neighborhood is made up of four streets — Timber Ridge Drive, Timberview Lane, Canyon Court, and Timber Line Road — and it was built out lot by lot from the late 1980s through about 2007 by individual custom builders rather than a single production builder. Homes here average about 4,481 square feet on lots averaging 1.45 acres, which puts both figures near the top of any Yorkville subdivision.
The setting is the draw. Lots are heavily treed, many streets end in cul-de-sacs, and a number of properties back directly to the Fox River or to the community pond — several recent listings advertise private river access for kayaking and fishing. Immediately east of the neighborhood is Saw Wee Kee Park, an Oswegoland Park District natural area along the river with a well-used network of hiking and mountain-bike trails reached from Sundown Lane. The Autumn Creek neighborhood and its elementary school sit directly across Route 34, and the Route 34 corridor puts everyday shopping in Yorkville and Oswego within a few minutes’ drive.
Buyers who shop Timber Ridge are usually after acreage and one-of-a-kind construction without leaving the Yorkville school district, and they should expect thin inventory — the community typically sees only a handful of sales per year. Pricing spans a wide band for the same reason: original 1980s–1990s homes have closed in the mid-$400s to $700s, while the larger 2000s estates trade from the high $700s up to $1.46 million, the February 2026 sale price of an 11,500-square-foot riverfront home on Timberview Lane. A vacant lot on Timber Ridge Drive also sold recently for $220,000, so the occasional build opportunity still surfaces. The HOA is minimal, which appeals to owners who want estate-lot freedom rather than a managed amenity package.

Original custom homes (late 1980s–1990s)
The first wave of Timber Ridge homes runs roughly 2,800–4,500 square feet, typically 4–5 bedrooms on 1–2 acre wooded lots. Recent closings in this group have ranged from the mid-$400s into the $700s. They suit buyers who want the acreage and setting at the community’s entry price point, often with room to update.

What Living Here Comes With
Wooded estate lots
Lots average 1.45 acres and run past 2.25 acres, most of them heavily treed with mature hardwoods. That scale of land is uncommon inside Yorkville’s school district and is the community’s defining feature.
Fox River frontage and pond
The neighborhood sits on the north bank of the Fox River, and a number of lots back directly to the water with private access for kayaking and fishing. A community pond adds waterfront settings on interior lots.
Saw Wee Kee Park next door
Immediately east of the neighborhood, Saw Wee Kee Park (Oswegoland Park District) offers a color-coded network of hiking and mountain-biking trails along the river, accessed from Sundown Lane. It functions as a de facto backyard nature preserve.
Custom builds, light-touch HOA
Every home is a one-off custom build, so architecture and floor plans vary house to house. The HOA is minimal — roughly $160–$250 a year — leaving owners more latitude over their property than production subdivisions typically allow.

Around Yorkville

Downtown Yorkville — the riverfront, Bicentennial Riverfront Park, and the Marge Cline Whitewater Course — is about a 10-minute drive west via Route 34 and Route 47, and Kendall Marketplace’s big-box retail sits on the west side of town.
Commuting to the Suburbs
