Live New Lenox listings updated daily from the MLS — plus what local buyers should know before making a move.
New Lenox has more new-construction activity right now than almost any town on the I-80 corridor — two national builders selling at once, plus townhome builders and custom activity. Lennar’s Lakes Park pairs Traditional Townhomes from the mid-to-high $300s with Horizon-series singles from about $500K around a central lake and trail network. Pulte’s Teerling Lakes runs Meadows and Estates series singles from the low $500s into the high $800s, plus the Landings — a 55+ ranch section from the mid $400s with its own amenity center. Sky Harbor (Distinctive Home Builders) and Leigh Creek (Hartz) add townhome options, and Flaherty’s Jacob’s Field carries the custom end from the mid $600s.

Active listings pulled directly from the MLS.
Townhomes run roughly 1,767—1,840 square feet at Lakes Park; its Horizon singles run 1,866—2,607 square feet. Teerling Lakes singles run roughly 2,390—3,530+ square feet with 3—6 bedrooms and 2—3 car garages, and the Landings ranches run 1,647—2,027+ square feet with main-floor living. HOA structures vary widely — from modest master-plan fees to $300+ monthly in the 55+ section where lawn, snow, and amenity access are bundled — so compare total monthly cost, not just price.
Lakes Park sits on the village’s east side — note that listings there commonly reference different schools than central New Lenox, and Teerling Lakes on the north side straddles a school district boundary, so verify assignment per address on both. Both master plans add inventory the resale market can’t match, which is part of why village inventory stays functional even with homes going pending in about 8 days.
The builder’s on-site agent represents the builder — bring your own representation, at no cost to you. We review lot premiums and option pricing with a resale eye (some options return their cost at resale, many don’t), track incentive cycles on spec inventory, and manage the walk-through and punch-list process. On SSAs and taxes: new construction bills often start artificially low on undeveloped-land assessments and step up — we model the real bill before you sign.
Timing matters differently with builders: end-of-quarter and spec-home inventory is where incentives concentrate, while to-be-built contracts buy choice but carry rate risk across the build. And read the fine print on earnest money and price escalation clauses. We’ve negotiated both sides of these contracts — use that.
Whether you are just starting your search or ready to schedule a showing, Kealan O’Neil is here to help you every step of the way.
