Cobbler’s Crossing is northeast Elgin’s value anchor—a large Kimball Hill community built 1987–1999 with single-family homes, townhomes, and condos around a community pool, tennis courts, parks, and ponds.
Cobbler’s Crossing spreads across Elgin’s northeast side—the Cook County portion of the city, zip 60120—where Kimball Hill Homes built it out between 1987 and 1999. It’s one of the largest communities in the city, mixing single-family sections (including the larger Cobbler’s Crossing Estates homes), townhome rows, and condo buildings, and it’s the first place I take value-focused buyers who want subdivision living with real amenities at Elgin’s most workable prices.
The numbers explain its steady popularity: 40 sales closed in 2025 at a median around $339,000, with single-family homes generally trading from about $365,000 to $520,000 and the townhomes and condos from roughly $236,000 to $310,000. Homes run from about 950 square feet in the smallest condos to nearly 4,000 in the biggest Estates singles—a spread that lets first-time buyers, families, and downsizers all shop the same community.
Association amenities—community pool, tennis courts, parks, trails, and ponds—come with fees that vary sharply by product: single-family sections run modest (roughly $14–$229 a month depending on section), while townhome and condo sections run about $180–$450 with exterior coverage. One practical note: this is the Cook County side of Elgin, which assesses differently than Kane—the same list price can carry a different tax bill than a Kane-side equivalent, so we pull the actual bill on every showing here.
