Located at 2290 Misty Creek Trail, River Hills Park offers River Hills residents a playground, picnic shelters, baseball, softball and soccer fields, plus accessible walkways—all right within the subdivision, making it an ideal spot for family outings and community recreation.
River Hills falls within Plainfield School District 202 and includes highly regarded schools like Bess Eichelberger Elementary and Plainfield East High School, making the neighborhood especially appealing to families seeking strong local public education options.
Though not inside River Hills proper, the neighborhood’s close access to the DuPage River and connecting bike and walking trails—including the DuPage River Greenway nearby—provides residents with scenic outdoor recreation and direct paths toward Naperville and surrounding preserves.
Developed between 2006 and 2016 by builders like K. Hovnanian, Orleans Homebuilders, and William Ryan Homes, River Hills features large single‑family homes—many with 3‑5 bedrooms, garages, and modern features—creating a cohesive, attractive streetscape of contemporary executive‑style residences.
While River Hills itself is residential, its location east of Naperville Road and north of 127th Street puts residents just minutes from Bolingbrook’s shopping corridors and easy access to Interstate 55, providing convenient routes for commuting and regional retail access.
