Learn more about Farm Trails

Farm Trails was primarily developed from the mid-1980s through the early 1990s, although subdivision records show homes dating from 1981 through 2000. Because construction occurred over an extended period, buyers can encounter meaningful differences in architecture, floor plans, square footage, renovation history, and lot characteristics.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources also recognizes Farm Trails North as a dedicated Illinois Nature Preserve.
