Charlemagne is the east side’s value entry into 1990s St. Charles — Kennedy-built three- to five-bedroom homes off Kirk Road, with 2025–26 sales from $485K to $578K and only a nominal association fee.
Charlemagne sits on St. Charles’ far east side, reached from Kirk Road via Foxfield Road, with streets like Charlemagne Lane, Blackhawk Trail, and Oxbow Lane forming a compact, coherent neighborhood. Kennedy built it between 1989 and 1994 from a catalog of ten-plus floor plans — Americana, Bordeaux, Cambridge, Charleston, Regency among them — which gives the neighborhood the consistency of a single-builder community with enough plan variety to avoid monotony.
The homes are three- to five-bedroom singles averaging about 2,200 square feet, ranging from roughly 1,600 to 3,500, on quarter-acre lots with curbs, sidewalks, and street lights. A pond and park sit within the neighborhood. The association is nominal — roughly $190–$200 a year — with no special service area, keeping carrying costs simple. Average tax bills run around $9,400.
This is the value entry point into the east side’s 1990s cohort, and the market treats it that way: 2025–26 sales ran from $485,000 to $578,000, with the May 2026 sale on Blackhawk Trail at $550,000 typical of current trade. For buyers priced out of Hunt Club but wanting the same era, side of town, and school corridor, Charlemagne is usually the first tour stop — and for Charlemagne owners, the upgrade path to Hunt Club or Majestic Oaks stays inside a ten-minute radius.
Pricing reflects Charlemagne sales and listings as of mid-2026. Sales volume in established neighborhoods can be thin — we verify against live comps before you price or offer.
Three- and four-bedroom plans in largely original or partially updated condition: $485K on Foxfield Court and $508K on Fox Chase Court, both 2025 sales. The most attainable single-family entry in the east side’s 1990s cohort.

A nominal ~$200/year association and no SSA keep monthly carrying costs to mortgage and taxes — a genuine difference from newer communities layering fees on top.
Kennedy’s ten-plus floor plans give the neighborhood consistent scale and setbacks without cookie-cutter repetition — and make comps unusually reliable when it’s time to price.
The neighborhood’s pond and park anchor its green space, and the full curb-and-sidewalk grid makes the loop streets walkable in a way the township areas west of the river aren’t.
