See Why People Choose Batavia — and Stay
Batavia is the oldest city in Kane County and one of the Fox Valley's Tri-Cities, alongside St. Charles and Geneva. People come for the river, the schools and the small-town feel, and many of them stay for good.
Living in Batavia, Illinois
Batavia was settled in 1833 and grew into a busy river town. By the late 1800s it was home to six windmill makers and earned the name "The Windmill City", a nickname locals still use with pride.
Life here centers on the Fox River, with biking and walking paths along the water. Fermilab, the federal physics laboratory where the bottom and top quarks were first detected, sits just east of the city, and Aldi's U.S. headquarters is in town.
Most of the city is served by Batavia Public School District 101, with six elementary schools, one middle school and Batavia High School.
It's a place with real history and a real sense of community, close enough to the rest of Chicagoland to make daily life easy.

Tiffany Terry
"I've sold homes the week they were listed and found buyers their dream house before it hit the market. Batavia rewards preparation and local knowledge — and that's exactly what I bring."
"I know that a house on a cul-de-sac in one subdivision sells differently than one on a through street in another. I know which builders in the new construction communities are worth the premium and which ones to negotiate harder with."
"Any questions? Just ask us."
