O'Neil Property Group
East Dundee’s move-up neighborhood — single-family homes built out over decades north of Barrington Avenue, on wooded lots up to an acre, with no HOA and recent sales reaching $681K.
Lakewood Estates is where East Dundee buyers go when they’ve outgrown their first house but don’t want to leave the village. The neighborhood sits north of Barrington Avenue (Route 68), east of Van Buren Street, and it wasn’t built in one wave — homes here date from roughly the 1930s through the early 2000s, which gives the streets a settled, custom character no production subdivision can imitate. Lots are the headline: many run a half acre, some a full acre, under real hardwood canopy.
The price range is correspondingly wide. Closed sales span $290K for the smaller mid-century homes up to $681K at the top, with recent activity concentrated in the $400s and $500s — current listings run $399,900 to $535,000. Home sizes stretch from about 1,100 square feet to well past 3,800, from original ranches to four-bedroom family homes at around $240 per square foot. There’s no HOA, and because eras and conditions vary house to house, MLS-reported average tax bills near $10,000 reflect the larger homes — always verify the actual bill on any specific property.
Location does quiet work here: Barrington Avenue runs you into downtown East Dundee in a few minutes one way and toward Route 25 and I-90 the other. The Fox River Trail and the riverfront restaurants are a short ride, and Dundee Township Park District facilities serve the area. For buyers cross-shopping larger lots in Sleepy Hollow or West Dundee, Lakewood Estates is the East Dundee answer — usually at a friendlier price per square foot.
Pricing reflects Lakewood Estates sales and active listings as of mid-2026. Era and renovation quality drive value here more than raw square footage.
The neighborhood’s older stock — ranches and modest two-stories from the 1930s–1970s — trades below the neighborhood median and rewards renovation vision. Entry to acre-lot living.
