Elburn Station

Elburn Station is Shodeen’s master-planned community rising directly beside the Metra UP-W terminus — village homes and single-family plans built since 2017, with additional phases planned and a genuine walk-to-the-train address at the center of the design.

Living in Elburn Station

Elburn Station exists because of the train. When Metra extended the UP-W line to Elburn in 2006, the farmland north of Keslinger Road beside the new terminus became the region’s most logical transit-oriented address — and Shodeen Homes has been building the master plan there since 2017, off Anderson Road between the tracks and Keslinger. It is the only place in the far western suburbs where you can buy new construction and walk to the first stop on a Metra line.

The product mix runs wider than most new-construction communities: rowhome-style village homes for commuters and downsizers, compact singles, and family-scale plans — MLS-fed sources catalog around 21 floor plans from roughly 1,185 to 3,609 square feet. Recent closings have run from about $365K to $465K with current listings reaching the $480s, which has made Elburn Station function as the village’s de facto entry market for detached homes. Reported association fees run about $82–$90 monthly for common-area maintenance.

Buildout continues, with additional phases planned between the existing sections and the station. That matters two ways: buyers can still choose lots and plans rather than only resales, and early-phase owners have seen the neighborhood’s pricing establish itself above their original numbers. As with any newer Elburn subdivision, verify whether a specific lot carries a Special Service Area assessment and what the full tax bill looks like once the home is fully assessed — we run those numbers on every deal here.

Elburn Station Home Types & Prices

Pricing reflects recent Elburn Station closings and MLS-fed subdivision data as of mid-2026.

Mid $300s+

Village homes & rowhomes

The community’s entry point: attached and compact plans with modern open layouts, generally the closest product to the platform. Recent closings from the mid $300s. For commuters and downsizers, this is the lock-and-leave play with a seat on the 6:40 built in.

High $300s–$400s

Single-family plans

Two-story and ranch-style singles across Shodeen’s catalog, generally 1,800–2,800 square feet with two-car garages. Most recent closings cluster here — new-construction pricing that undercuts much of the Tri-Cities’ resale market.

See listings →
Into the $480s

Larger plans & premium lots

The biggest floor plans — up to about 3,600 square feet — and premium positions have listed into the $480s. Deeper phases trade platform proximity for larger yards; we help buyers weigh that trade plan by plan.

What Living Here Comes With

🚂

The Metra terminus next door

The entire point of the neighborhood: the UP-W line starts here, so every morning train leaves empty with a guaranteed seat — roughly 75 minutes to Ogilvie. Commuter parking sits at the station for days you drive.

🏗️

New construction, still choosing

With additional phases planned, buyers can still pick plans and lots rather than settling for what resells. We track Shodeen’s current releases and incentives continuously — they shift by phase and season.

🌳

Parks, ponds, and sidewalks

The master plan threads parks, ponds, and continuous sidewalks through the sections, and the flat, connected street grid makes the whole neighborhood walkable — to the train, between sections, and toward town.

🍖

Downtown Elburn minutes away

Main Street — Ream’s Meat Market, Obscurity Brewing, Prairie Park, the Town & Country Library — is a short drive or a reasonable walk, so the small-town core comes with the new-construction address.
