Bristol Bay is on the south side of Yorkville, in the Bristol area, a few minutes from the Fox River and downtown. Centex built it in the mid-2000s. It is a mix of townhomes, condos, and single-family homes, and it is one of the lower-priced ways to get into Yorkville Community Unit School District 115 with a clubhouse and pool attached. If you are looking at homes for sale in Bristol Bay, Yorkville IL, here is the breakdown.
Start With the Price
This is the section most people move here for. Attached homes start around $200,000. Most townhomes sell in the $200,000s, and the single-family homes are mostly in the $300,000s. For comparison, a lot of Yorkville single-family neighborhoods start a full price tier higher. First-time buyers look here. So do downsizers who want to stay in Yorkville, and investors, because the rent numbers can work at these prices.
The Mix of Homes
The attached homes come in a few shapes. There are condos and townhomes, most of them one to three bedrooms, built around 2005 to 2010. The single-family streets have the standard two-story plans of that era, four bedrooms and a two-car garage. Square footage on the attached side is modest, so what you are really buying is the price point, the location, and the amenities below. If you need a big yard and a third garage bay, this is the wrong neighborhood and I will tell you that up front.
An Elementary School and a Clubhouse Inside
Bristol Bay Elementary School is inside the neighborhood. It serves kindergarten through sixth grade, so younger kids stay close to home. After that it is Yorkville Middle School and Yorkville High School. The community also has a clubhouse with a pool, basketball and sand volleyball courts, and walking trails. Getting a pool and a clubhouse at this price is unusual. In most towns that package starts at a much higher number.
The Day to Day
Route 47 and Route 34 shopping and restaurants are a few minutes away. Downtown Yorkville and the riverfront are close. Raging Waves waterpark is right here in Yorkville, which the grandkids will find on their own. Association fees cover the amenities and exterior items on the attached homes, and the amount varies by section. Check the fee on the specific home before you write an offer, because it is part of your real monthly cost.
