Live New Lenox listings updated daily from the MLS — plus what local buyers should know before making a move.
The New Lenox townhome market runs on two tracks. The resale track: established units in Windemere, Thunder Ridge, and Nantucket Lakes, recently trading from roughly the high $200s through the mid $400s. The new-construction track: Lennar’s Lakes Park Traditional Townhomes from the mid-to-high $300s, Hartz’s Leigh Creek from the low $400s, and Distinctive’s Sky Harbor around $500K — three active townhome programs at once, which is unusual for a village this size. For buyers priced out of detached homes or done maintaining one, this is the strongest townhome moment New Lenox has had in years.

Active listings pulled directly from the MLS.
Resale townhomes run roughly 1,200—1,600 square feet with 2—3 bedrooms and attached garages; new construction runs larger — Lakes Park units are 1,767—1,840 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Monthly fees cover exterior, lawn, and snow in most associations; new-community fees vary by product. End units, finished lower levels, and pond or green exposure set the premiums on both tracks.
Lakes Park anchors the east side with its lake-and-trail setting; Sky Harbor and Leigh Creek fill in with smaller enclaves; Thunder Ridge and Windemere carry the established supply near the middle of the village. Note the school-assignment caveat on the east-side new communities — listings there commonly reference different schools than central New Lenox, so verify per address. Commuters: south-side locations favor the Laraway Road station, central ones the Rock Island line.
Compare total monthly cost — price, taxes, and fee together — rather than list price alone: a new build’s higher fee often buys newer mechanicals and warranty coverage that a cheaper resale gives back in repairs. On new construction, we negotiate builder incentives (rate buydowns, closing costs, option credits) that on-site agents won’t volunteer. On resales, association health checks are standard practice before we let you offer.
Townhomes are New Lenox’s pressure-release valve: when detached prices run, townhome demand follows about a season later. Well-priced resale units move inside two weeks, and builder spec units come and go in cycles. Whichever track you’re on, a daily watch and a pre-approval letter are the price of admission.
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.
