Gerstad Builders in Illinois
Gerstad Builders left its mark on McHenry County and the surrounding area with a handful of subdivisions that today are sold almost entirely through the resale market. The builder's communities are concentrated in McHenry, Crystal Lake, Poplar Grove, and Richmond, with no active new construction remaining in any of them. In McHenry, buyers will find Abbey Ridge currently listing in the $259,900–$264,900 range, alongside Liberty Trails and Trails of Boone Creek, both established neighborhoods of Gerstad-built homes. The Crystal Lake version of Abbey Ridge has recently traded around $215,000, while The Trails of Dawson Creek in Poplar Grove has seen resale pricing between $381,125 and $425,000, and Trails of Pheasant Ridge in Richmond has recently sold near $400,000. Because these are resale purchases rather than builder-direct sales, buyers should expect mature landscaping and no active new-construction assessments, but should also budget for the maintenance and updates that come with homes that are no longer new. This page reflects current resale activity in Gerstad Builders' legacy communities, not a builder price sheet.
