Prince Pond, Downers Grove
A Downers Grove, IL neighborhood: what the housing is, what is nearby, and what has closed there.
The Prince Pond neighborhood is situated just north of the downtown core and the railroad tracks. Developed primarily in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, it surrounds Prince Pond, an amenity used for winter ice skating. Homes include Victorians, Queen Annes, and traditional cottages alongside modern infill residences.
Homes in Prince Pond
Single-family residences on gridded residential streets, ranging from early 20th-century bungalows and Cape Cods to two-story contemporary tear-down replacements. Lot sizes generally range from 50 to 75 feet in width, with detached or attached garages.
Prince Pond sits inside Downers Grove, so the Downers Grove market report is the right read on prices and pace; the figures beside this are the town's, not the neighborhood's.
