Living in Carrington Reserve

Carrington Reserve is the subdivision I show first when a buyer asks for a classic family neighborhood in West Dundee. Pulte built it between roughly 2001 and 2006 on the village’s northwest side — off Higgins Road (Route 72) east of Randall Road — from about a dozen floor plans that run from just under 2,000 square feet to more than 5,000, on streets like Huntington Boulevard, Carrington Drive, and Wessex Drive. It’s single-family throughout, with the ponds, playgrounds, and tennis courts that defined the era’s best master plans.

The numbers tell a strong story. Recent closed sales have run from about $410K to $590K, and the trend line is up: the community’s median moved from roughly $470K in 2025 to the mid $500s on 2026 sales to date. Association dues are modest for what the neighborhood includes — MLS-fed sources report roughly $40 to $150 a month depending on section — and average annual property taxes have been reported around $10,800, in line with the village’s larger single-family stock. As always, we verify the actual fee and tax bill on any specific home.

Location is the quiet advantage. The Randall Road corridor’s retail is at the neighborhood’s doorstep, I-90’s Randall Road interchange is minutes south, and the Spring Hill redevelopment site — 102 acres the village is replanning now — sits close enough that its long-term upside is part of the ownership story here. For buyers comparing Algonquin or the Barrington corridor, Carrington Reserve routinely delivers more house for the money with an easier commute.
