Richmond American Homes in Illinois
Richmond American Homes has an established presence in the southwest suburbs, with two subdivisions in the Homes by Marco system that reflect the builder's prior work in the Joliet-Shorewood corridor rather than an active new-construction lineup. In Shorewood, Fields of Shorewood offers resale homes currently ranging from $429,990 to $510,000, while in Joliet, Legacy Pointe presents homes priced between $384,900 and $411,000. Both communities show zero new construction listings, meaning buyers here are shopping the resale market within neighborhoods the builder originally developed. That distinction matters for anyone touring these subdivisions: expect mature landscaping, established streetscapes, and homes that have had at least one prior owner, along with the absence of builder-imposed new-construction HOA startup fees or ongoing on-site sales offices. Floor plans in both communities still carry Richmond American's recognizable naming conventions, such as the Dartmouth in Shorewood and the Strauss in Joliet, which can help buyers cross-reference layouts if they've looked at this builder elsewhere in the region. For house hunters focused on the Joliet and Shorewood submarkets, these two subdivisions remain a practical starting point for comparing resale value against what similar Richmond American designs command in other Chicago-area markets, with pricing here positioned in the mid-$300,000s to low-$500,000s range depending on lot and finish level.
