45 Circle Dr E

Sitting right where the Fox River curves through the western suburbs, Montgomery gives you easy access to the Chicago metro without the big-city price tag. The village sits just south of Aurora and roughly 12 miles from Naperville, putting two thriving downtowns within a short drive. Settlers Cottage Museum, one of the oldest standing structures in the region dating to the 1840s, adds a layer of history that feels genuinely lived-in rather than preserved under glass. The Fox River Trail winds through town, connecting green spaces ideal for fishing, cycling, or a slow afternoon walk along the water.

Shopping and entertainment are never far, with Chicago Premium Outlets and Fox Valley Mall just minutes away, and Aurora University nearby for a steady cultural presence. Renters will find a solid mix of townhome communities, garden-style apartment communities, and spacious multi-bedroom rentals that offer more square footage than you'd expect this close to Chicago.
