All of Oswegoland offers the widest possible choice of homes and locations. There are 19th century Victorian treasures, riverfront homes, gated mansions, splendid homes along golf course fairways and overlooking lakes and ponds, cozy dwellings close to shopping and popular restaurants, country estates, high price, low price, and everything between. All of the pleasures of living are found in the homes of Oswegoland. Housing growth began in the 1950's with construction of the Boulder Hill subdivision on unincorporated land immediately to the north of Oswego. The area quickly filled with ranch and split-level styles on large lots.
Mature trees shade curving streets and give the area a genuine rural look.
Oswego, itself, offers numerous well-kept homes from the late 19th century and the early decades of the 20th century. Elegant gingerbread Victorian homes stand alongside Cape Cod and American Foursquare models. Many of these hug the downtown business district or stretch to the south along Main Street. A dozen or more new subdivisions spread from north to south across Oswego, even leaping to the west bank of the Fox River. The area's newest subdivisions include a commercial area in a residential setting.
