Yards Built for Modern Outdoor Living
Savoy's fastest growth came between 2000 and 2024, when it more than doubled in size to become Champaign County's fastest-growing municipality, and that recent construction generally came with larger, more standardized modern lots than the county's older towns. Those newer subdivisions were built with backyard living space already factored into the layout.
Decking Concentrated in a Single Growth Era
A large share of Savoy's homes and yards were built within a similar recent window, which means outdoor-living upgrades like decks tend to follow subdivision-wide trends rather than one-off historic-home projects. That context is useful when planning a deck to match a Savoy neighborhood's existing character.
