Batavia Introduction

Proud of its past, Batavia has the distinction of being a town full of modern conveniences situated amongst the beauty of yesteryear. It is a tranquil city with a hard-working character reflected in the windmills it once made that possesses the heart-warming qualities associated with small-town living.

Batavia continues to expand as housing, business and industry find a home within the city’s boundaries. The Randall Road corridor, on the west side, prospers with new shopping centers and subdivisions.

The volunteer-built Riverwalk on the Fox River provides countless hours of pleasure for those looking to relax and enjoy the local scenery. The Riverwalk is lined with natural vegetation and features timber overlooks that enhance the beauty and restfulness of the area.

Batavia is also a city of fine homes. Streets lined with gracious, turn-of-the century residences are found throughout the city as well as executive-style homes with three and four car garages in beautifully landscaped communities. Other housing options include ranch and split-level homes, luxury town homes, condominiums and apartments.

Parents and students alike will be delighted with Batavia’s educational options, from the highly rated public school system to excellent private schools. There are also numerous recreational opportunities. Batavia maintains over 340 acres of parks within the city limits and has access to thousands of acres of forest preserve throughout the surrounding area.

Batavia has worked hard to preserve its past while moving with conviction into the 21st century. Both residents and visitors will find evidence of this throughout the town. Beautiful stone and historically significant buildings dot the downtown, while a striking display of windmills graces the lawn outside the government building located on the Riverwalk.

Batavia is proactively moving into the 21st century knowing that it will always be a great place to live, work and raise a family.
