Winfield is a small village in the heart of DuPage County, with its own Metra station, a riverwalk along the West Branch of the DuPage River, and forest preserves and Cantigny Park right at its edges. I've sold many Winfield homes over the years, and I know how much a home's setting, whether it's an easy walk to the train or tucked into a subdivision near the forest preserves, shapes what buyers look for.

Living in Winfield

Winfield is a village in central DuPage County, about 30 miles west of downtown Chicago, between Wheaton and West Chicago. It takes its name from General Winfield Scott.

The village center sits along Winfield Road near Jewell Road, where the Metra station, Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital and the Winfield Town Center area are close together. Winfield Riverwalk Park follows the West Branch of the DuPage River through the center of the village, and the West Branch DuPage River Trail links it to forest preserves to the north and south. Hedges Station, a historic railroad depot, is preserved in the village as a museum.

The Winfield Park District runs parks throughout the village, including Lions Park on Beecher Avenue, which has a canoe launch on the river. Forest preserves surround Winfield: Winfield Mounds along the river near Geneva Road, Timber Ridge to the northwest, home to Kline Creek Farm, a living history farm, and West DuPage Woods on the south side of the village. Cantigny Park is just south of Roosevelt Road on Winfield Road, and Klein Creek Golf Club, a public 18-hole course, is on the north side of town.

Homes in Winfield

Winfield's homes trace the village's growth outward from its railroad station. Near the village center you'll find older homes on established streets, along with ranches and split-levels from the decades after World War II.

Subdivisions built from the 1970s through the 2000s offer two-story homes and ranches, many on generous lots near parks, the golf course and the forest preserves. Townhomes and condominiums add to the mix, and new homes appear as older lots are redeveloped. Some homes with a Winfield mailing address are in unincorporated DuPage County rather than the village itself.

Winfield Schools

Most of Winfield is served by these public school districts:

• Winfield School District 34 (preschool through 8th grade)
• Community High School District 94 (West Chicago Community High School)

Part of the village, mainly on the east side, is served by Community Unit School District 200 (Wheaton-Warrenville), including Wheaton North High School. Some homes on the north side are served by West Chicago Elementary School District 33, which feeds into District 94.

College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn and Wheaton College are a short drive away. School boundaries can change, so always confirm the assigned schools for a specific address directly with the district.

Commuting from Winfield

Roosevelt Road (Route 38) runs along the south side of Winfield and North Avenue (Route 64) to the north, with Route 59 just to the west and I-88 and I-355 a short drive away. Average drive times from Winfield:
