Residential Living

Whether you attest it to the inviting, tree-lined neighborhoods, the small shops and restaurants adorning Main Street, or the friendly and familiar faces around every corner, Sycamore is certainly a place that exudes charm. The overall “small-town” appeal of this warm Midwestern city continues to attract people from all stages of life, from young families to empty nesters and retirees.

Though Sycamore has retained its traditional roots and rural essence, the city is definitely not behind the times. It remains progressive in many ways, providing unequaled opportunities for recreation, education, business, culture and more. This mix of modern and preserved features is unique to Sycamore and is evident in such areas as the enhanced downtown district, highlighted by well-maintained historic architecture and new business, and the varying residential sector.

The real estate market of the Sycamore area is quite diversified, offering home seekers a range of styles, sizes and prices. The majority of houses available in the community are single-family ranch and two-story dwellings arranged in suburban-style subdivisions, both old and new. Sycamore’s 99-acre Historic District is highlighted by a concentration of tastefully maintained Victorian-style homes and other historic structures that date back over two centuries. In other parts of town, one will find a totally different look, accentuated by modern development and custom-built estates. Newer subdivisions, such as Heron Creek, Reston Ponds and Townsend Woods, make up the contemporary side of Sycamore. The community also features several neighborhoods comprised of spacious townhomes and condominium complexes.

The tight-knit community feel, rustic appeals and impressive housing selection are just part of the overall allure for new and longstanding Sycamore residents. Add in an accessible location far removed from the congestion of the big city, the family-oriented community events, the outstanding educational opportunities, as well as improved and expanding commercial and industrial districts, and it leaves little to wonder why some 15,000 people, many of which are life-long residents, have chosen Sycamore as their hometown.
