Ashton Woods Homes maintains a single, active presence in Illinois with Cambridge Lakes in Pingree Grove, a far northwest suburb along the Route 20/Route 47 corridor. This is the builder's flagship community in the market, standing out as the clear reference point with the largest inventory of any Ashton Woods project in the state and ongoing new construction, including the Marigold floor plan currently available. Buyers here can still work with the builder to select finishes and floor plans before closing, a benefit not available in resale-only subdivisions. There is no age-restricted or 55+ product in the Ashton Woods Illinois lineup at this time — Cambridge Lakes is a traditional single-family community geared toward growing households rather than active adults. Given its distance from the core Chicago suburbs, the community appeals to buyers prioritizing new construction and value over commute times, drawing move-up families and first-time buyers who want a new home with modern layouts at a price point below much of the closer-in suburban new-construction market. For anyone focused specifically on new construction in the far northwest suburbs, Cambridge Lakes represents Ashton Woods' primary — and currently only — active footprint in Illinois, making it a straightforward, uncomplicated search for buyers who know they want a brand-new home in Pingree Grove rather than comparing multiple builder communities across the region.
