Trillium Farm

Independent Assessment

Search results returned genuinely conflicting figures even within the same source family: some secondary-directory summaries describe the community as consisting of 55 completed single-family homes, while others reference a total of 84 homes across the same general source set, without a clear resolution of which figure represents the community's final, current build-out. Because Trillium Farm was built as recently as 2021-2023, it is plausible that 84 represents the platted/planned total while a smaller number had been completed and sold as of when various sources were last updated, but that explanation could not be confirmed against a primary source (Pulte's own community page did not provide a definitive current total in the results reviewed). Because the figure is unconfirmed, the conflict is reported openly rather than presenting either 55 or 84 as settled fact.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers wanting new-construction (or near-new resale) 55+ ranch homes, built as recently as 2023, will find Trillium Farm appealing, particularly those who value proximity to the Blackwell Forest Preserve's extensive outdoor recreation and a genuinely low-maintenance ranch floor plan.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Pulte Homes built Trillium Farm between 2021 and 2023, offering ranch-style single-family homes across three floor plans generally ranging from roughly 1,683 to 1,963 square feet (with some listings citing homes up to 2,645 square feet). The community is located at 28W785 Trillium Dr, Winfield, IL, roughly 5 miles north of I-88 and about 4 miles from Wheaton.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Current closed-sale pricing at Trillium Farm could not be independently confirmed. Pricing is likely to reflect recent new-construction costs rather than a mature resale market; buyers should request current comparable sales and any remaining new-construction availability directly from Pulte Homes or a local agent.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Trillium Farm was built as recently as 2021-2023; buyers should confirm with Pulte Homes directly whether any new-construction inventory remains available or whether the community is now fully resale. Given the community's young age, buyers should still request the HOA's current financials, reserve study, and governing documents (including age-restriction language) before purchasing, along with standard new-home warranty documentation if applicable.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes at Trillium Farm are subject to Winfield and DuPage County property tax administration; DuPage County is reported (per an unverified aggregator-sourced figure cited on this site's DuPage County area page) to carry some of the lowest effective property tax rates in the Chicago metro. A secondary source cites an average annual property tax figure of roughly $8,844 for the community, though a current effective rate for specific parcels was not independently confirmed. Buyers should confirm exact current figures with the DuPage County Assessor.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Trillium Farm's lifestyle leans heavily on its location directly across from the Blackwell Forest Preserve, giving residents ready access to extensive outdoor recreation (trails, fishing, archery, and an off-leash dog area) without those facilities needing to be built into the community itself. No dedicated on-site clubhouse was found; the community's amenity structure appears to rely more on the adjacent outdoor recreation.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Trillium Farm sits in Winfield, DuPage County, roughly 5 miles north of I-88 and about 4 miles from Wheaton, IL, with reported access to shopping, dining, entertainment, and recreation. The community is reported to be roughly 50 minutes west of Chicago and about 20 minutes north of Naperville.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Trillium Farm is consistently categorized as an 'active adult 55+' community by every independent secondary directory reviewed, and by Pulte Homes' own community listing. The exact current restriction language and age-verification procedure were not confirmed against DuPage County's recorded declaration of covenants for the community, which was not independently reviewed. Buyers should confirm current requirements directly with the HOA before purchasing.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Trillium Farm's current, precise total home count remains unconfirmed, given conflicting secondary-source figures (55 vs. 84 homes) -- buyers evaluating the community's overall scale and social base should independently confirm the current number of completed and occupied homes with the HOA or Pulte. A current, exact HOA fee, current resale pricing, and evidence of a dedicated clubhouse were also not confirmed; the community's amenity base appears to rely primarily on the adjacent Blackwell Forest Preserve rather than dedicated on-site facilities.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Within DuPage County, Trillium Farm is newer (built as recently as 2023) than Carillon Club (2007-2017 build-out) or Cameo and Briarwood Lakes (1960s-1980s vintage), but offers a simpler amenity structure reliant on the adjacent Blackwell Forest Preserve rather than a dedicated on-site clubhouse. Buyers prioritizing the newest possible home construction may prefer Trillium Farm; buyers wanting a staffed clubhouse and organized social programming will likely prefer Carillon Club or Regency at The Woods of South Barrington.
