Chatham Square is on the north side of Plainfield, near Route 59, in the 60585 ZIP. Gladstone Homes started building here in the mid 2000s, and the community has both single-family homes and townhomes. It is also one of the few established Plainfield neighborhoods where you can still buy new construction. Gladstone is still selling floor plans here, so resales compete with brand-new homes a few streets away. That dynamic drives almost everything about this market. If you are looking at homes for sale in Chatham Square, Plainfield IL, here is how to think about it.
New Construction and Resales on the Same Streets
The neighborhood was built from 2007 into the 2020s. Single-family floor plans run big, many of them 2,800 to 3,800 square feet with four bedrooms. New plans from Gladstone start in the high $300,000s and $400,000s before options. Resales run from about $425,000 to $700,000. A resale with a finished basement, a deck, and landscaping already done can be the better buy next to a new build at the same price with a bare lot and a window treatment budget still ahead of you. Run the total cost on both before you decide.
Townhomes: The Lower-Maintenance Way In
The townhome sections give you Chatham Square at a lower price and with less upkeep. Recent townhome listings sit in the low to mid $400,000s, with finished basements, two-car garages, and patios. Exterior maintenance is handled by the association, which is the whole point for a lot of buyers here. If you want the north Plainfield location and Route 59 access without a single-family yard to keep up, the townhomes are worth a look.
Check the School District by Street
Here is the detail that catches people. Chatham Square sits in Kendall County, and school assignments vary by section. Some streets feed Plainfield District 202. Other streets feed Oswego School District 308, the same setup as Grande Park on the west side of town. Both are well-regarded districts. You just need the right one confirmed before you buy, especially if a specific school is the reason you picked the neighborhood. Send me the address and I will confirm the assignment for that home.

When the builder is still selling down the street, your resale has to win on total value: finished basement, lot, landscaping, and move-in timing. Buyers will do that math with or without you. If you want to know what your home is worth, I can value it against recent resales and the builder’s current pricing. No pressure and no obligation.
