Part of the Batavia-Geneva-St. Charles tri-cities area, the city is nestled by the Fox River in the center of the Fox River Valley less than 40 miles from the delights of Chicago. This idyllic location is just one reason why business, commerce and numerous young families call Batavia home. Families will find that the Batavia School District - aided by the Foundation for Educational Excellence - more than meets their needs. In addition to six elementary schools, a middle school and a high school, students also have access to the Sugar Grove campus of Waubonsee Community College and numerous other nearby centers for higher education. The Batavia Park District offers more than 1,045 recreational programs and services annually, and oversees more than 300 acres of land encompassing 29 parks.
With their proximity to Chicago and other Fox Valley communities, Batavia residents have convenient access to a world of entertainment, sports and culture. From concerts by the Illinois Symphony Orchestra to the numerous golf courses in the valley, there is always something to do. Batavia real estate offerings are many and varied. Spacious and affordably priced townhouses, condominiums and single-family homes for sale line the streets of the city's quiet neighborhoods.
