Realen Homes in Illinois
Realen Homes' presence in Illinois today is entirely in the resale market — the builder is no longer constructing new homes in any of its seven area communities, and buyers browsing this page are looking at established neighborhoods rather than a current price sheet. The company's Chicago-area subdivisions stretch across the northwest, west, and north suburbs, including Algonquin Lakes in Algonquin, Barclay Estates in Bolingbrook, Brookstone in Schaumburg, Union Commons in Wheeling, Cedar Ridge Estates in Lake Villa, Wooded Glen in Grayslake, and Pine Valley in Vernon Hills. Of these, Algonquin Lakes is the standout by size, with the deepest roster of floor plans and, currently, resale pricing in the $394,900–$520,000 range along with the most active listings in the portfolio. The remaining subdivisions turn over less often, so available inventory varies from month to month. Buyers looking at a resale home in any of these neighborhoods should expect mature landscaping, an HOA structure without new-construction assessments, and homes old enough that mechanical systems and finishes are worth evaluating closely before making an offer. These communities appeal to buyers seeking an established, move-in-ready suburban setting rather than new construction, with pricing that shifts by city, lot size, and floor plan across this stretch of the Chicago suburbs.
