A 55-and-over condominium community at 605 Barrington Avenue, built in 2000 — the most affordable homeownership in East Dundee, with services and amenities bundled into the monthly fee.
Village Green of East Dundee is a different kind of listing than anything else in the village, and it deserves an honest explanation. It’s a 55-and-over condominium community at 605 Barrington Avenue, built in 2000 — an elevator building of one- and two-bedroom units running 750 to 980 square feet. List prices from the $80s make it far and away the lowest-cost homeownership in East Dundee, with recent sales spanning roughly $75K to $149K.
The number that needs context is the monthly fee: roughly $1,072 to $1,545 depending on unit. That’s not a typical condo assessment — it bundles services and amenities that MLS sources list as including a commissary, restaurant-style dining, an exercise room, party room, on-site management, storage, a sundeck, and security. Priced as housing plus services, the total monthly cost stacks up well against area independent-living rents — but buyers should evaluate it that way from the start, not as a standard condo with a surprising fee. Average annual property taxes reported for units run about $1,340, the lowest in the village.
The practical notes I walk every Village Green buyer or family through: the 55+ restriction shapes both eligibility and the future resale pool; financing age-restricted condos can carry extra lender requirements, so involve your lender before you offer; and the association’s financials and fee history matter more here than anywhere else in town. For the right buyer — staying near family in the Dundees, wanting services without leaving homeownership — it’s one of the Fox Valley’s most underrated options, a block from downtown.
Pricing reflects Village Green sales and active listings as of mid-2026. Evaluate units on total monthly cost — price plus fee plus taxes — not list price alone.
The entry point — roughly 750 square feet, recently selling from the mid $70s. The lowest-priced homeownership in the village by a wide margin.
The larger plans up to about 980 square feet, topping the community’s recent range at $149K. The extra bedroom makes the services-included math work for couples.
Unit price plus the service-inclusive fee typically undercuts area independent-living rents while building equity. We run this comparison line by line for every buyer and family.
