About Geneva
A city of about 21,500 on the Fox River in Kane County, Geneva is one of the Fox Valley's prestige addresses — a historic downtown of Third Street and State Street boutiques, the Fabyan Villa estate and well-kept historic neighborhoods near the river giving way to subdivisions on the west side. Housing skews upper-middle to luxury: restored Victorians, teardown new construction, and executive subdivisions.
