O'Neil Property Group
Lakewood Springs is Plano’s largest community, spreading east of downtown off US 34 — a master-planned mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and duplexes with two clubhouses, a community pool, parks, and trails, at some of the most attainable prices in Kendall County.
Lakewood Springs is where Plano’s 2000s growth story happened. Planned for well over a thousand homes on the east side of town, the community built out in waves — the bulk between 2004 and 2009 under Lakewood Homes and Ryland, with later sections finished by CalAtlantic and M/I Homes as recently as the early 2020s. The result is Kendall County’s deepest mix of attainable housing in one place: two- to six-bedroom singles from about 900 to over 4,000 square feet alongside townhomes, duplexes, and condos.
The amenity package is the community’s calling card at this price point: two rentable clubhouses, a community pool, tennis courts, parks and playgrounds, a lake, and internal trails, maintained by a professionally managed association. Emily G. Johns School (Plano CUSD 88, grades 4–6) sits adjacent to the community, and the Route 34 corridor — including Plano’s Walmart Supercenter — is minutes away.
For buyers, the range is the story. In 2025–2026, attached homes have traded from about $205K to the $260s, mid-size singles in the $290s–$340s, and the largest plans up to about $420K — a spread that lets first-time buyers, move-up buyers, and investors all shop the same community. Two line items to verify on any parcel: association dues vary meaningfully by product type and section, and parts of Lakewood Springs carry Special Service Area (SSA) special taxes on the property tax bill — a legacy of how the community’s infrastructure was financed. We pull the exact figures on every home we show here.

Plan on 75–90 minutes driving via Route 47 and I-88, about 65–75 minutes on Amtrak from downtown Plano, or a roughly 30-minute drive to the Aurora Transportation Center for frequent Metra BNSF service.
