Local Housing

Incorporated in 1959, the Village of Carol Stream is a community with a well-balanced mix of residential, commercial and light industrial development. The non-residential uses help defray property taxes and contribute to the success of this thriving DuPage County suburb.

Carol Stream's growth has been formidable, with the town going from a population of 832 in 1960 to an estimated population of over 38,000 today. Good local schools and extensive recreational facilities make it attractive to young, middle income families. The median age of the Carol Stream resident is 29.2 years and the average household income is estimated at $72,723.

Home buyers have their choice of a wide range of housing styles, from ranches to split-levels to two-story colonials. Single family detached homes range in price from $110,000 on the low end to as high as $350,000 for a custom built home. The 1997 average price for a single family home was $174,763.

Condominiums and townhomes are also available at prices ranging from $40,000 to $130,000. Rental apartments go for a median gross rent of $620.
