Americana Estates is Bolingbrook’s custom-home address — a gated community of roughly 225 estate lots wrapped around the village-owned Bolingbrook Golf Club, with custom builds from the mid-2000s onward and current listings reaching $1.5M.
Americana Estates occupies a category of one in Bolingbrook: the village’s only gated, custom-home community, laid out around the fairways of the Bolingbrook Golf Club on the southwest side near I-55. Development began in the mid-2000s and building has continued in waves ever since — this is one of the few places in the village where you can still contract a new custom home. Roughly 225 estate home sites of a third of an acre and up make up the community, many with fairway, pond, or open-space frontage.
The homes are true customs rather than production models. Builders here have included DJK Custom Homes, Overstreet Builders, and James Scott Custom Builders, and the results range from about 2,500 square feet to well over 8,000 on the largest builds. Brick and stone exteriors, three-plus-car garages, and deep-pour basements are the norm. Recent activity tops out around $1.5M, with the broader resale range historically running from the $500Ks for earlier, smaller homes into seven figures for the largest — a spread that still undercuts comparable custom product in Naperville or Burr Ridge by a wide margin.
Ownership costs are calmer than the price tags suggest: association dues run roughly $60–$65 a month, and annual tax bills on the bigger homes commonly land between $12K and $20K — the community sits in the 60490 zip, where the effective rate is the village’s gentler one. The golf club next door is village-owned and open to the public, with a championship 18-hole layout and clubhouse dining, so the amenity is real without a private-club initiation attached.
Pricing reflects Americana Estates sales and active listings as of late summer 2026.
The community’s entry point: earlier-phase custom homes, generally the smaller footprints on standard estate lots. They trade infrequently and draw buyers who want the gate and the setting at the lowest workable number.

The community wraps the village-owned championship 18-hole course — a five-minute cart ride, not a country-club bill. The clubhouse handles dining, banquets, and events, and public access keeps it lively year-round.
Americana is Bolingbrook’s only gated community — a controlled entrance with estate-scale streets, sidewalks, and street lighting inside. Dues stay modest for the category at roughly $60–$65 a month.
A limited number of estate lots remain, and the community’s builders still deliver one-off homes — effectively the village’s only new-construction path. We review builder contracts and allowances line by line with buyers.
The community sits minutes from the Weber Road and Route 53 interchanges, putting the I-55 corridor, I-355, and the Promenade’s retail within a 10-minute radius.
