Old Castle is Mokena’s classic custom-home address—two sections, Old Castle Woods and Old Castle South, flanking Wolf Road near the Hickory Creek greenbelt, with roughly 240 homes trading mostly in the $600s and low $700s.
Old Castle is the name Mokena buyers use for two related custom-home sections on the town’s south-central side, both west of Wolf Road: Old Castle Woods, south of LaPorte Road, built roughly 1990 to 2004; and Old Castle South, north of US-30, built roughly 1997 to 2016. Together they hold about 240 homes—99 in the Woods, 140 in South per county parcel data—on streets with English names like Swinford, Wexford, Abbey Road, and Stratford. These are custom builds, not production homes: no two houses repeat, and the size range runs from about 2,780 square feet in South to well over 7,000 in the Woods’ largest homes.
The setting is the other half of the appeal. The Old Castle sections sit in the corridor where the Hickory Creek greenbelt threads through Mokena—the 1,614-acre Hickory Creek Preserve, the largest single preserve in the Forest Preserve District of Will County, has its LaPorte Road access just east of Wolf Road, and the Hickory Creek Junction trail access sits on US-30 west of Wolf. For buyers who want custom-home scale with preserve trails at the end of the street, this is the neighborhood that delivers it without leaving village limits.
On the numbers: recent sales across both sections ran from about $550,000 to $750,000, with both sections’ medians around $655,000—solidly below Foxborough Estates pricing for comparable square footage, which is exactly why Old Castle resales draw steady demand. Neither section reports a meaningful association fee. Old Castle addresses sit in Mokena School District 159, feeding Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210, with current sources pointing to Lincoln-Way Central—verify the assignment for any specific address.
Pricing reflects Old Castle sales and active listings as of late summer 2026.
The newer section—roughly 1997–2016 builds from about 2,780 to 5,800 square feet. Recent sales ran $550,000 to $720,000 with a median around $655,000: Stratford Court at $720K, Wexford Drive at $655K, Abbey Road at $625K.
See Mokena listings →The original section—1990s customs with the community’s largest homes, 3,000 to more than 7,300 square feet under real tree cover. Recent sales ran $608,000 to $750,000, with a late-summer 2026 active at $739,000 on Plattner Drive.
See Mokena listings →Old Castle delivers custom scale at $200–$250 per square foot on recent sales—meaningfully under Foxborough Estates and far under replacement cost for a new custom build. For move-up buyers who want character over new-construction finishes, this is the trade.

The preserve’s LaPorte Road access sits just east of Wolf Road and the Hickory Creek Junction access is on US-30 west of Wolf—1,614 acres of woods, creek, and trails effectively bracketing the neighborhood.
The paved Hickory Creek Bikeway’s segments total more than eight miles and connect toward the 22-mile Old Plank Road Trail and the Route 30 Bikeway—long rides start from the driveway.
No repeated floor plans, varied rooflines, and 1990s–2010s builds under maturing trees—the visual character production subdivisions can’t reproduce.
