Location

As part of the Batavia-Geneva-St. Charles tri-cities area, Batavia straddles the Fox River in the heart of the Fox River Valley.

Interstate highways are only minutes away. I-88 is five miles to the south. I-90 is less than 30 minutes north. Both link the community to the entire metropolitan market. State routes 25 and 31 run north to south through the city, following the path of the Fox River. East-west state routes 38 and 56 are a short distance away.

There's convenient access to commuter trains for people who work in Chicago. Geneva, Batavia's neighbor to the north, and Aurora to the south, offer full schedules of Metra commuter trains. PACE offers convenient bus service between Batavia and neighboring cities in the Fox River Valley. And for air travelers, famed O'Hare International Airport is an easy drive away.

Several limousine services are readily available in the Batavia area. Door-to-door Dial-A-Ride service provides needed transportation for senior citizens and those with disabilities.

The area's corporate and private aircraft are based at either of two nearby airports, DuPage County Airport and Aurora Municipal Airport.

Batavia business and industry are served by more than 20 local, intrastate, and interstate trucking companies. Spur tracks of the Burlington Northern Railroad serve firms based in the Batavia Industrial Park.

Batavia's ideal location assures continued growth and prosperity.
