Addison, Illinois

Addison is one of the best kept secrets in DuPage County, the most affluent of the six counties surrounding Chicago.

With homes to fit any size budget and any size family, the cost of living in Addison is comparatively inexpensive.  Thanks to a thriving commercial and industrial tax base, property taxes are kept lower than most other DuPage County communities, and the Village works to keep other resident costs, such as water, vehicle sticker and utility taxes, low and sometimes non-existent.

Meanwhile, while some other communities are built out, Addison continues to attract new construction developments, which expand the tax base.

In addition to the cost to purchase a home, buyers need to keep in mind the long-term costs involved in living in a particular community.  Addison is one of the most affordable communities in DuPage County – make a selection at left to see why.
