Other developments worth researching include Rivers Edge and Farmingdale Village II in Woodridge, as well as
smaller new construction projects in Downers Grove. School assignments and current development status should
be confirmed individually before identifying any property as part of District 99.
Did You Know? School District Boundaries Do Not Always Follow City Boundaries
A property's municipality or mailing address does not automatically determine its school district. Portions of
Downers Grove, Woodridge, Darien, Westmont, Lisle, Oak Brook, and Bolingbrook are served by District 99.
However, not every home within these communities falls within the district.
Elementary and middle school districts have their own boundaries, which may differ from high school attendance
areas. Buyers should verify assigned schools for each individual property directly with the appropriate school
districts.
New Construction Versus Existing Homes in District 99
The District 99 attendance area includes a wide range of housing options. New construction may offer
contemporary floor plans, modern building materials, updated mechanical systems, and builder warranties. Existing
homes may offer different architectural styles, lot configurations, established landscaping, and opportunities for
renovation or customization.
Comparing property characteristics, location, pricing, property taxes, and ongoing ownership costs can help buyers
evaluate available real estate options.
