Campus Green

I grew up in this neighborhood and have many fond memories of it. I was able to walk to school at Ranchview Elementary every day and often spent my afternoons playing the adjacent park or exploring Greene Valley Forest Preserve. This neighborhood is in Naperville's school district 203 which, by most measures, is among the best in the country. I had classes at Naperville Central High School that tackled subjects with more nuance and depth than I experienced in some of my comparable major state university coursework! A number of my childhood friends from the neighborhood ended up attending, and in some cases are now teaching at, the universities that the streets in this neighborhood are named after. Campus Green is also located in the quiet, south-eastern portion of Naperville with easy access to grocery shopping, department stores and downtown Naperville but in a kind of sweet spot far enough away from the congestion of the Route 59 corridor and downtown area that makes getting around a little less stressful.
