Living in Cinnamon Creek

Cinnamon Creek sits south of 111th Street and east of Essington Road — a compact single-family neighborhood built between 1972 and 1984, with an average build year around 1973. The floor-plan lineup runs about nine models, from the 1,300-square-foot Monterey to the 1,746-square-foot Cambridge, with overall sizes spanning roughly 864 to 3,500 square feet on lots that average about a seventh of an acre. There is no homeowners association — a detail buyers here consistently rank near the top of the list.

The market has been quietly appreciating: the neighborhood’s median sale climbed from about $287K in 2023 to $295K in 2024, $329K in 2025, and roughly $344K on 2026’s trading — with recent sales overall spanning about $293K to $385K. Inventory is thin as a rule; the neighborhood frequently has no active listings at all, so turnover happens fast when it happens. Taxes on typical homes run in the $4,500–$6,400 range, which keeps total monthly payments among the friendliest in the village for a detached home.

The buyer profile is straightforward: first-time buyers who want a house instead of a townhome at the same monthly cost, downsizers hunting one-story plans — the ranch stock here is real — and owners who stay put, which is why listings are scarce. Valley View 365U serves the neighborhood, with Independence Elementary and Jane Addams Middle School the reported feeders, and Bolingbrook High School the district campus.
