An attractive old-fashioned Village Center offers convenient shopping, office space, a recreation center and community services. Also within the Mill Creek community are 72 acres of parks, 15 miles of jogging and biking paths, and on-site Geneva Elementary School.

Mill Creek, which was developed by Sho-Deen, Inc., the largest residential development in Kane County to date. Rather than a development or subdivision, Mill Creek feels like a hometown.

"There's nothing like it in the Midwest," says Craig Shodeen, president of Sho-Deen, Inc. Mill Creek combines the finest aspects of Kane County's historic past with land planning and environmental benefits for the future to create the hometown you've been dreaming about, but never dreamed you could find.

Mill Creek's Village Center is one of its most exciting hometown elements. Like the village squares of yesteryear, it will contain enticing specialty shops and restaurant, a community church, professional offices, a small Inn, community park, a full-scale golf club with village pub, and residential units, all surrounded by parks, open space and the Mill Creek golf course. Trees and landscaping, park benches and old-fashioned street lamps will add to the relaxed, small-town appeal.

An amazing 45% of the property is devoted to community parks, neighborhood parks, golf course, forest preserves and wetlands, which in turn provide homes for untold species of indigenous wildlife. Many of Mill Creek's neighborhoods will contain at least one park. "It's exciting to see Mill Creek come together," sums up Craig Shodeen. "Everyone in the family contributed to the planning. This development is our vision. We have tremendous pride in Mill Creek. It's very important to all of us to make it the best it can be."
