Windett Ridge is a 277-home single-family subdivision on Yorkville’s south side, east of Route 47 and south of Route 71 — mid-2000s originals plus a Ryland Homes relaunch built through the late 2010s.
Windett Ridge is a single-family subdivision of 277 homes on Yorkville’s south side, tucked east of Route 47 and south of Route 71 (Stagecoach Trail) along Windett Ridge Road. Like several Yorkville communities of its vintage, it was built in two waves: the first homes went up around 2005 before the downturn stalled the plan, and Ryland Homes relaunched the community with a grand-opening celebration in late 2012, offering ten floor plans from 1,865 to 3,838 square feet. Construction ran through the late 2010s, and MLS records show homes here spanning roughly 1,865 to 4,527 square feet overall. The name echoes Ellsworth Windett, the first mayor of the united city after Bristol and Yorkville merged in 1957.
This is a homes-first neighborhood rather than an amenity community: there is no clubhouse or pool, and the shared features are ponds, open-space corridors, sidewalks and street lighting, with a homeowners association that keeps dues low — MLS-fed sources report roughly $30-$67 per month, and some listings show annual dues around $354-$403. What the location adds is quick access along the Route 47 spine: downtown Yorkville and the riverfront are about five minutes north, Whitetail Ridge Golf Club is a short drive southwest, and Silver Springs State Park’s trails and fishing lakes are about ten minutes west via Route 71.
For buyers, Windett Ridge is one of the more consistent products in Yorkville: nearly everything is a two-story, three-to-six-bedroom house from the same two building eras, so comps are clean and pricing is steady. Mid-2026 listings ran from $410,000 to about $500,000 with recent closings up to $516,000 and a median sale price around $465,000 — squarely in Yorkville’s mid-market, below Grande Reserve’s newest singles and above the town’s older stock. One carrying cost to check: the entire subdivision sits in a special service area (SSA), which adds up to about $2,659 to the 2026 tax bill, runs through 2032 and can be prepaid — a big reason average tax bills here top $11,000.
Pricing reflects Windett Ridge sales and active listings as of mid-2026.
The whole community is single-family: Ryland plans like the Aberdeen (1,865 sq ft), Raleigh (2,907 sq ft) and Danada/Ellsworth (3,428 sq ft) join mid-2000s originals up to about 4,527 square feet, mostly with 3-6 bedrooms, 2.5-4 baths and 2-3 car garages. Mid-2026 actives ran $410,000-$500,000 with recent closings to $516,000 — a fit for buyers who want space and a consistent streetscape without amenity-driven fees.

The subdivision’s shared features are its stormwater ponds and open-space corridors — several streets back to water or green edges, and MLS records tag lake and waterfront exposure on a number of lots. Common areas are maintained through the homeowners association’s modest dues.
Whitetail Ridge Golf Club, one of the area’s public courses, is a short drive southwest of the neighborhood, and Blackberry Oaks Golf Course in Bristol is about 15 minutes north — golf without golf-community pricing.
The state park’s roughly 1,300 acres of trails, prairie and fishing lakes along the Fox River are about ten minutes west via Route 71 — the closest large-scale outdoor recreation to any south-side Yorkville subdivision.
The neighborhood sits just off Route 47 at the south end of town: downtown Yorkville’s shops, restaurants and riverfront are about five minutes north, and the Route 71/47 junction puts groceries and everyday errands within a short drive without routing through town.
Windett Ridge is served by Yorkville Community Unit School District 115. Verify current attendance boundaries with the district, as they can change.
MLS-fed sources show south-side addresses feeding Circle Center Grade School (grades K-3, 901 Mill Street) or Yorkville Grade School (K-3, 201 W. Somonauk Street), then Yorkville Intermediate School (grades 4-6, 103 School House Road) — confirm the current attendance boundary with CUSD 115.
Located at 920 Prairie Crossing Drive in neighboring Raintree Village, about a five-minute drive west via Route 71.
The main campus is at 797 Game Farm Road, about three miles north across the river; freshmen attend the YHS Academy building at 702 Game Farm Road.
Downtown Yorkville — the riverfront, Bicentennial Riverfront Park and the Marge Cline Whitewater Course — is about five minutes north on Route 47, with the corridor’s grocery stores and everyday retail on the way. Route 71 runs along the neighborhood’s north edge toward Silver Springs State Park to the west and the Route 126 junction to the east.
Route 47 is the spine: north through downtown to Route 34 and on to I-88 in roughly 20 minutes. Route 71 heads northeast to Oswego in about 15 minutes, and Route 126 connects southeast toward Plainfield and the I-55 corridor for Joliet-area commutes.
Downtown Chicago is roughly 55 miles northeast. Drivers use I-55 via Route 126 or I-88 via Route 47; train commuters catch the Metra BNSF line at the Aurora Transportation Center, about a 25-30 minute drive, or Route 59 for express runs. Plan on 60-90 minutes door to door depending on mode and traffic.
