Neighborhood Description The Knolls at Prairie Creek is a family friendly subdivision conveniently located on DeKalb, Illinois's southwest side. The neighborhood is close to Northern Illinois University, shopping, schools, entertainment, and more. This fall a new Schnucks grocery store, Ace Hardware, and more will be opening just a short walk across South Malta Road in the upcoming Glidden Crossing shopping center. The community features the ten acre Mason Park at its heart. The park contains a walking path, large playground, and the beautifully landscaped Larson Lake. An additional ten acres of green space throughout the neighborhood include a wetlands conservation area, bike paths and trees. Across Annie Glidden Road from The Knolls is Prairie Park and the DeKalb/Sycamore Path. The park is a beautiful forested area along the Kishwaukee River. The paved DeKalb/Sycamore trail winds its way through the park and can be traveled all the way to Sycamore, where it joins with the Great Western Trail. An ambitious person could bike all the way from The Knolls to St. Charles and beyond!
