Live Mokena listings updated daily from the MLS — plus what local buyers should know before making a move.
New construction in Mokena looks different than in the fast-growing towns nearby: there’s no production-builder community inside village limits. What Mokena offers instead is custom and semi-custom building—Beechen & Dill has built Foxborough Estates since 2006 and continues there today, custom homes are underway at The Lakes at Foxborough and Country Pond Estates at $1.2M and up, and Tara Hills delivered new duplex ranch homes in 2024 from the mid $500s. Local builders also hold scattered infill sites around town. If you want production-builder pricing, Pulte’s Teerling Lakes (from about $510K) and Lennar’s Lakes Park (from the high $300s) are next door in New Lenox—and we can walk you through both markets side by side, because the right answer depends on your budget and timeline, not the town line.

Active listings pulled directly from the MLS.
Three realistic paths. One: buy a custom or semi-custom build in Foxborough Estates or Country Pond Estates—expect $1M+, half-acre-class lots, and a build timeline measured in months, with full control of the plan and finishes. Two: catch the small-batch attached product—the Tara Hills duplex ranches (roughly 1,700–2,000 square feet, basements, from the mid $500s) are the recent example, and similar infill appears occasionally. Three: buy near-new resale—homes built since 2015 in the west-side communities deliver new-construction finishes without the wait, and they trade regularly.
The west and south edges of town are where Mokena still builds. Foxborough Estates and The Lakes section hold the active custom lots on the far west side, in New Lenox School District 122 feeding Lincoln-Way Central. Country Pond Estates, south of US-30, pairs custom builds with equestrian-scale lots and some of the town’s highest-end recent sales. Tara Hills on the east side carried the newest attached construction. Scattered lots elsewhere—including builder-held sites like Prairie Ridge—come and go; we track them as they surface, because they rarely make the portals.
Custom builder contracts are not standard resale contracts: allowances, change orders, lot premiums, and completion timelines all deserve a second set of eyes before you sign, and builder-friendly language is the norm, not the exception. Get the full spec in writing, understand what the base price actually includes, and have your own representation from the first model-home visit—builder sales staff work for the builder. Our new-construction guidance costs you nothing and routinely pays for itself in negotiated options and inspection protections.
Scarcity is the story: because Mokena has no production community, new builds here don’t compete with a builder’s next phase on price—which protects value but limits choice. Taxes on new construction step up as the assessment catches the completed home, so model the full post-completion bill at Mokena’s roughly 2.64% effective rate, not the vacant-lot bill. And if the budget says production pricing, be honest about it early—New Lenox’s Teerling Lakes and Lakes Park are ten minutes away and we cover them daily.
