Lakewood Falls is on the east side of Plainfield, off Taylor Road, close to I-55. It is one of the largest communities in Plainfield, with more than 2,000 homes spread across several sections, or pods. The neighborhood was built mostly in the late 1990s and 2000s around a series of lakes. There is a clubhouse, a community pool, and tennis courts. Prices here run lower than most of Plainfield, which is why first-time buyers and investors look here early. If you are looking at homes for sale in Lakewood Falls, Plainfield IL, here is the honest picture.
The Lakes Set the Tone
The lakes are the center of daily life in Lakewood Falls. Paved paths run along the water, and people fish from the shoreline. A lot of homes back up to a lake or to open green space, and those lots usually sell first. The clubhouse and pool host the neighborhood events, things like the annual egg hunt, Touch a Truck, and a Fourth of July fireworks show. It feels like a small town inside a big suburb. The Lake Renwick Preserve is also close by, with more lake views and bird watching.
Prices That Are Hard to Find in District 202
Most single-family homes here sell in the $300,000s, and the median sits in the low $300,000s. Townhomes and smaller homes can come in under $300,000. Larger two-stories reach into the $400,000s. You get a clubhouse community, Plainfield schools, and an I-55 commute at a price that is hard to match anywhere else in town. Homes that are priced right and show well tend to move. Homes that need work sit longer, and that gap is where buyers with a contractor budget do well here.
Check the School Assignment by Address
Most of Lakewood Falls feeds Lakewood Falls Elementary, Indian Trail Middle School, and a Plainfield District 202 high school. The eastern pods sit close to the Romeoville line, and some of those streets feed Valley View School District 365U instead. Both districts are fine. You just want to know which one applies before you write an offer. School assignments vary by address in this neighborhood, so send me the address you are looking at and I will confirm the schools for that exact home.
