Plainfield, IL is located approximately 45 minutes southwest of downtown Chicago, on the border of the neighboring communities of Naperville, Romeoville, Joliet, Shorewood, Bolingbrook and Aurora.
Real estate in Plainfield exploded in the mid to early 90’s as a new generation of home buyers sought affordable housing in the suburbs of the Chicago. Easy access to interstate I-55, the highly publicized Plainfield school district, and low county real estate taxes made Plainfield a top choice for buyers looking for affordable new construction. Plainfield became an alternative to the older communities in the northwest suburbs.
Approximately 18 years after the buzz that made Plainfield one of the top 5 fastest growing cities in the nation, it is still going strong. As a 9 year resident of the community, I have personally seen the landscape changes that appeared to occur on a weekly basis.
A number of builders have moved in and out of Plainfield over the years like, Pulte, Neuman Homes, Lennar, Leach Homes, Phoenix Builders, Cambridge Homes, Lakewood Homes, Montalbano; not to mention the countless individual Plainfield custom home builders.
Plainfield is home to the Plainfield Community Consolidated School District #202 which serves not only Plainfield, but areas of Joliet, Bolingbrook and Romeoville. With 16 Elementary Schools, 7 Middle Schools, and 4 High Schools, it is one of the largest schools in the area.
The Plainfield Park district is especially large as well, and is quick to keep up with the needs of it’s growing community. The Plainfield Park district offers programs for both the young and old.
Shopping and dining is convenient from every neighborhood in Plainfield. Two new open air shopping centers are beginning construction this summer which are scheduled to open in 2009. The Louis Joliet Mall is conveniently located near I-55 and Route 30, and nearby Fox Valley Mall and Bolingbrook’s new Promenade are also close alternatives. My other site, Living In Plainfield, profiles individual establishments to give newcomers to Plainfield a little bit of a directory to the community.
The restaurant industry quickly realized the need for family dining in Plainfield, and now there’s an amazing selection of both independent and national restaurants in the area like Bacci’s, Moe Joe’s, Chesdan’s, Gunthers, Buffalo Wild Wings, Applebee’s, Lonestar, Outback, TGI Fridays, Red Robbin, Steak and Shake, Chuck E Cheese… oh, the list goes on and on.
