Lakes Park is Lennar’s active master plan on New Lenox’s east side — Traditional Townhomes and Horizon-series single-family homes built around a central lake, ponds, and walking trails, with the largest active-listing count of any community in the village.
Lakes Park is where most New Lenox new-construction conversations start right now. It’s Lennar’s master-planned community on the village’s east side — sales center at 2551 Dundee Drive — and it pairs two distinct products inside one plan: Traditional Townhomes running 1,767 to 1,840 square feet with three bedrooms, and the detached Horizon series running 1,866 to 2,607 square feet across floor plans like the Siena II, Meadowlark, Starling, Townsend, and Wren. The setting is built around water — a central lake and ponds ringed by multi-use trails — about ten minutes from downtown New Lenox shopping.
Pricing spans the widest usable range in local new construction. Townhomes have started in the mid-to-high $300s, detached homes run from about $500K, and the overall community range has recently run from roughly $389K to $585K, with recent closings from the high $370s to the mid $490s. That makes Lakes Park a legitimate cross-shop against the village’s 1990s—2000s resale core: you trade mature trees and larger lots for new mechanicals, warranty coverage, and the trail-and-pond setting. HOA fees vary by product — MLS-fed sources report figures from around $33 to $196 per month depending on section, so confirm the exact fee for the specific product you’re buying.
One thing to get right before you fall for a floor plan: school assignment. Lakes Park sits on the village’s east side, and listings for the community commonly reference Chelsea Elementary and Hickory Creek Middle School rather than the central New Lenox District 122 buildings, with high-school assignment in Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210 sitting near an internal boundary — published sources disagree on which Lincoln-Way campus serves the community. Verify current attendance boundaries with the districts for the specific address before you sign. We do this on every Lakes Park contract we write.
Pricing reflects Lakes Park sales and active listings as of mid-2026 — builder pricing and incentives change frequently.
Lennar’s attached product: 1,767—1,840 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, attached garages. The lowest-priced new construction in New Lenox and a direct alternative to renovating an older resale.

The plan is organized around a central lake and ponds with multi-use trails connecting the sections — the water-and-path setting is the community’s calling card.
New mechanicals, new roofs, builder warranty coverage, and current building code — the ownership costs a 1990s resale can’t promise for the same monthly payment.
