Kimball Hill Homes in Illinois
Kimball Hill Homes was a Chicago-area builder active through the 1990s and 2000s before financial difficulties led the company to cease homebuilding operations in 2008. The communities listed here represent that legacy — resale opportunities within established subdivisions rather than a current builder price sheet. In the northern suburbs, buyers will find Astor Place in Wheeling, currently priced from $425,000 to $450,000, along with Bright Meadows in Round Lake, ranging $340,000 to $362,000, and Brookside in Gurnee, where recent resales have reached $729,000. Farther northwest, Legend Lakes in McHenry spans $275,000 to $448,800. In the western suburbs, Cobblers Crossing in Elgin ranges from $236,000 to $520,000, while Oakhurst in Aurora and Settlers Ridge in Sugar Grove offer the widest spans in the portfolio, stretching from the $300,000s into the $700,000s and beyond. On the North Shore, The Glen in Glenview commands the top of the market, with resales between $899,000 and $1,550,000. Because these homes were built years ago, expect mature landscaping, established HOAs no longer tied to construction assessments, and homes whose mechanicals and finishes vary with age and upkeep. Evaluate these neighborhoods on their current condition and comparable sales, not as new-construction purchases.
