Robert C. Ranquist and Co. in Illinois

Robert C. Ranquist and Co. has a single, well-established footprint in the Illinois market: Courtyards of Westchester, located in Westchester. With no new construction currently listed in this community, today's opportunities here are resale homes rather than builder price sheets, and buyers should approach this as a mature, established neighborhood purchase. That means evaluating homes on their own merits — age, condition, updates, and lot placement — since landscaping is fully grown in and there are no new-construction HOA assessments to factor into the budget. The current listing in Courtyards of Westchester is priced at $399,999, offering a data point for what resale inventory looks like in this pocket of the western suburbs. Courtyards of Westchester isn't marketed as an age-restricted or active adult community, so it draws a broad range of buyers, from first-time purchasers to those looking to downsize into a low-maintenance layout without the premium of new construction. For anyone researching this builder's legacy work in Illinois, Westchester remains the market to watch, and working with an agent familiar with the subdivision's resale history is the best way to gauge fair value before making an offer.
