Nearly half of Wheaton's housing stock was built between 1970 and 1989, making the 1970s colonial and split-level the defining form of the city's residential fabric. Those homes are now 40 to 55 years old, and the original condition is unmistakable: closed-off floor plans with walls separating the kitchen from every living space, laminate countertops, single-bowl sinks, avocado or harvest-gold bathrooms, and 100-amp electrical panels that were never sized for a modern household. In Stonehedge, Briarcliffe, Pheasant Hollow, and The Streams, this is the dominant story.
We have worked through these conditions in DuPage County subdivisions long enough to know exactly what waits inside a 1975 Wheaton colonial once demolition starts. From Arrowhead to Academy Highlands to the Victorian blocks of the Northside, we have done this work around the area.
