Centex in Illinois
Centex built extensively across Illinois through the 2000s and 2010s before being folded into PulteGroup, and the communities on this page now reflect resale inventory rather than an active builder price sheet — there are no new-construction listings remaining in any of these subdivisions today. In the western suburbs, Centex left its mark in Blackstone and Green Hills in Aurora, Winston Village in Bolingbrook, Hampton Glen in Plainfield, and Old Renwick Trail and Sable Ridge in Joliet, with resale prices generally in the $245,000–$450,000 range. In Yorkville, Autumn Creek and Bristol Bay remain the largest of the bunch, the latter currently showing the most resale activity of any Centex community here. Farther north, Carriages of Grosse Pointe and Grosse Pointe Village in Vernon Hills command premiums up to $745,000, while Silverstone Lake in Carpentersville and West Ridge in Elgin offer more accessible entry points. Buyers here should expect mature landscaping, established HOAs without builder involvement, and homes typically 10 to 20 years old.
