The City’s affordable properties draw new residents from all walks of life: urban pioneers who enjoy living in beautiful, historic homes; transplants who visit and decide to stay, and business owners seeking a real sense of community. We offer the quaint charm of a town through our many historic districts, our housing stock of mansions, private homes, garden settings, and picturesque, lined street

s. One-third of Plainfield’s working residents commute to other cities. Downtown Plainfield is an energetic melting pot sustained by thousands of families and businesses. The City of Plainfield is home to ten historic districts, seven of which are listed on the National and State Registers of Historic Places.
