St. Charles, a.k.a. the Pride of the Fox due to the Fox River flowing directly through its downtown, is a culturally thriving community in the far west suburbs. Last year, we talked about some of the historical architectural gems St. Charles offers. This time, let’s focus on the home, specifically the luxurious apartments of Prairie Winds. Their website says they “offer spacious and open- concept style floor plans built to ensure your comfort and leisure, while enjoying condo-style, worry-free living. At Prairie Winds, we offer a new and unique style of sophisticated apartment living.”

Staying at home is a necessity right now so comfort is paramount. Prairie Winds offers a wide range of upscale amenities that beg to be appreciated like granite countertops and designer lighting. You can also practice self-care by lounging in the available garden tubs or go “shopping” in your spacious walk-in closet to unearth those clothes that spark special memories. You can relax by the fireplace with your favorite book or podcast. Better yet, enjoy time with your neighbors while still observing social distancing by organizing a sing-a-long from your enormous balcony. 

If you are crawling the walls with all that space, Prairie Winds features nature trails, wide open green and airy spaces, gorgeous landscaping, ponds, and a dog park. Other amazing perks are an expansive clubhouse, indoor lap pool with locker rooms, an outdoor resort style swimming pool, a 4,000 square foot commercial quality fitness center, and a chef-inspired outdoor kitchen with 4 cooking stations, just to name a few.

Of course, another great reason to live at Prairie Winds is the peace of mind knowing that the basic necessities of home were expertly designed and built by the brilliant engineers of Yagla Engineering Services. YES and Prairie Winds makes sure you’re not stuck at home, you’re safe at home.
