Grande Reserve Neighborhood Guide

Grande Reserve sits on Plainfield's western edge, a large planned community built around a public golf course with newer homes, wider lots, and more open space than you'll find closer to the village core. The neighborhood has a relaxed, spread-out feel that appeals to buyers who want a little breathing room between them and their neighbors, along with the kind of green views and quiet streets that are harder to come by in denser parts of town. Homes here tend to be newer construction, and the community's layout reflects that era of development, with wider roads and a more open suburban scale. The tradeoff is real distance from everyday conveniences, so most residents are comfortable with the fact that most errands involve getting in the car. If the draw is a quieter pace, a golf course backdrop, and newer homes with some space around them, Grande Reserve delivers on all three.
