Meritus Homes in Illinois
Meritus Homes built in the western suburbs of Chicago, with two subdivisions on record in this market: Highland Woods in Elgin and Reserve of St. Charles in St. Charles. There is no active new construction remaining in either community, so buyers today are shopping the resale market within these established neighborhoods rather than a builder price sheet. Highland Woods, the larger of the two by listing count, currently shows homes priced from $555,000 to $1,250,000, reflecting a range of the Banfield, Dunberry, and Marquis floor plans that Meritus originally offered there. Reserve of St. Charles was built out with the same Banfield and Dunberry designs along with the Kingston, Marquis, and Prescott plans, giving buyers a similar architectural palette in a different pocket of the Fox Valley. Shopping resale in either of these communities means mature trees and finished landscaping, no ongoing new-construction assessments layered into the HOA, and homes that range from more recent construction to a decade or more of age, so a home inspection and a close look at any updates remain the buyer's best tools. Anyone drawn to Meritus's floor plans should treat this page as a guide to what's currently available for resale in Elgin and St. Charles, not a builder's current offering.
