Live Plano listings updated daily from the MLS — plus what local buyers should know before making a move.
Plano’s condo market is small but mighty for one reason: it’s the cheapest path to ownership in Kendall County. Condo units in the Lakewood Springs community and the town’s older attached stock regularly trade below $230K — a price point that has simply vanished from the towns east of Route 47. For first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors, these units are the definition of attainable.

Active listings pulled directly from the MLS.
Expect one- to three-bedroom units, mostly 900–1,400 square feet, concentrated in Lakewood Springs’ attached sections with smaller pockets elsewhere in town. Association fees cover exterior maintenance, lawn, and snow — and in Lakewood Springs, access to community amenities including the pool and clubhouses. Inventory is thin; some months only one or two condos are active in all of Plano.
Lakewood Springs is the center of gravity — its attached sections mix condos, townhomes, and duplexes built through the 2000s, with Emily G. Johns School adjacent and Route 34 retail minutes away. In-town units put you walking distance from Main Street and the Amtrak station, which matters for Chicago commuters who want to board a train two blocks from home.
Warrantability is the make-or-break at this price: have your lender confirm the association’s status early, because it determines whether FHA and conventional programs apply. Review the association’s financials and reserves, confirm the fee and what it covers, and check for any SSA assessment on the parcel. Cash and conventional offers move fastest when competition appears.
Investor demand is constant at this price point because the rent-to-price math works. Owner-occupant buyers can still win with speed and clean terms — and some financing programs give owner-occupants a structural edge. Either way, when a sub-$230K unit lists in decent shape, assume you have days, not weeks.
Whether you are just starting your search or ready to schedule a showing, Kealan O’Neil is here to help you every step of the way.
