Plainfield, Illinois Real Estate and City Information

Plainfield Illinois is in Will County and is one of the fastest growing communities in Illinois. Plainfield is the oldest town in Will County and its population growth began in earnest in the year 2000. It has gone from a sleepy town of 4500 to over 30,000 residents due largely to its location and the efforts of the community leaders to incorporate top-notch amenities needed to attract new businesses of all sizes. Add to those efforts a strong school system (Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202) plus a great park district and the developers of homes large and small arrived in force.

Brand new single family homes begin in the $200,000 range and end over $1,000,000. Town home developments are numerous and home styles vary from ranch to Georgian to Colonials. Several large developments include pools, trails, club houses and other amenities designed to attract families.

The picturesque Dupage River meanders through town and development of a Riverwalk is in the works. Plainfield has a quaint downtown area which is growing along with the population. The community features the annual Harvest Spring Fests, Candlelight Christmas and the very popular Summer Cruise Nights. Several parks to enjoy on your weekends as well as the popular Downtown Plainfield also hosts an annual Hometown Irish Parade on St. Patrick´s Day.
