Arbor Lakes is Minooka’s active new-construction community — Meadowbrook Builders’ original phases date to 2004, and Lennar is building today from $419,990 with five floor plans, south of Brannick Road and west of Ridge Road on the Grundy County side.
Arbor Lakes sits south of Brannick Road and west of Ridge Road on the Grundy County side of Minooka. Meadowbrook Builders developed the original phases beginning in 2004, and the community has kept growing since — 31 floor plans have been tracked across its history, and a Villas of Arbor Lakes section also exists alongside the main single-family neighborhood. In 2026 the story is new construction: the village approved more than 120 additional homes for the current phase, per WCSJ News.
Lennar is the builder of the active phase, selling from a community sales center at 1028 Redwood Lane. Five floor plans — from the Brighton to the Wren — run roughly 1,455 to 2,630 square feet, priced $419,990–$471,990 as of 2026. Community grounds include a park, playground, scenic ponds and lakes, walking and bike trails and sidewalks, with some waterfront homesites available. The association fee is modest — approximately $25 per month per Homes by Marco — which we verify with the association on any purchase.
For buyers weighing new-versus-resale, Arbor Lakes offers a rare side-by-side comparison inside one community: resale and current listings have run up to about $496,735 with an average list price around $460,000, so a 2004-era Meadowbrook resale and a brand-new Lennar build can be evaluated on the same street grid. Minooka CCSD 201 and Minooka CHSD 111 serve the neighborhood.

Scenic ponds and lakes thread through the plan, and some homesites back to water — worth flagging early if a waterfront lot is on your list, since they’re limited.
Lennar is building in 2026 with five floor plans from $419,990 — one of the few places in Minooka where you can buy brand-new and compare it against near-new resales in the same community.
