History of Brookdale
Brookdale is a neighborhood of 882 homes constructed between 1976 and the present. Before Brookdale was annexed to the city of Naperville, the land was home to three large farms: The Erhart, Keller and McDowell families raised cattle here. The children of these families attended a one-room school house.
