Lakewood Trails is one of Minooka’s largest subdivisions — a mix of single-family homes, townhomes and condos built circa 2003–2007 west of Ridge Road and north of U.S. Route 6, with a resident clubhouse and outdoor pool at 401 Misty Creek Drive.
Lakewood Trails spreads across the Grundy County side of Minooka, west of Ridge Road and north of U.S. Route 6 — minutes from the I-80 interchange at Exit 122. HOA and community records attribute the development to Lakewood Homes, though resale portals don’t consistently name the builder. Most of the neighborhood went up circa 2003–2007: neighborhoods.com dates the community 2003–2006, while Homes by Marco lists a wider 1954–2007 range that folds in outlier parcels. The product mix is one of the broadest in town — detached single-family homes alongside townhomes and condos, running roughly 914 to 2,861 square feet.
The amenity package is what sets Lakewood Trails apart from most Minooka subdivisions: a community clubhouse at 401 Misty Creek Drive with an outdoor pool and an exercise room, plus tennis courts, walking trails, parks, and ponds with waterfront lots scattered through the plan. Association dues run approximately $30–$140 per month depending on product type — single-family homes at the lower end, attached homes higher — with both Homes by Marco and neighborhoods.com reporting similar bands. We verify the exact fee and coverage with the association on any home you’re considering.
On the market side, current 2026 listings run roughly $268,000–$430,000, with recent closed sales spanning about $250,000–$440,000 and a median sale around $291,000 per neighborhoods.com. The community also has a track record of liquidity: a local Patch report counted 35 Lakewood Trails sales between August 2016 and August 2017 — the most of any Minooka subdivision that year — so resales come to market with some regularity across all three product types.
Pricing reflects Lakewood Trails sales and active listings as of mid-2026.
