Plainfield has a historic village center, a growing mix of newer neighborhoods and easy access to I-55, all just south of Naperville.
Plainfield lies mostly in Will County, with some land extending into Kendall County, midway between Naperville and Joliet. It has grown rapidly since the 1990s, and its historic downtown along Lockport Street still has 19th-century commercial buildings. Settlers' Park offers a lake, open space and summer outdoor concerts, and Lake Renwick Preserve is a forest preserve popular for birdwatching.
Most of the village is in Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202, with portions in Oswego District 308 and Indian Prairie District 204. Interstate 55 runs along the eastern edge with two exits, and U.S. 30 and Illinois routes 59 and 126 pass through the area. Pace buses provide weekday rush-hour service toward Chicago. The village does not have a Metra station.
