Live West Dundee listings updated daily from the MLS — plus what local buyers should know before making a move.
Under $400K sits right at West Dundee’s median, which makes this the village’s most active price band — and its most interesting one. Grand Pointe Meadows townhomes trade through the mid $300s, Lennar’s new Hickory Glen townhomes start in the high $300s, and the older in-town grid contributes character homes within walking distance of Main Street. It’s the rare bracket where a buyer can weigh a brand-new build, a 2000s townhome with a community pool, and a Victorian-era single on the same weekend. The trade-offs between them — fees, taxes, condition, commute position — are where a local broker earns their keep.

Active listings pulled directly from the MLS.
Expect three main flavors: Grand Pointe Meadows townhomes around 1,400–1,900 square feet with monthly assessments near $230; new Hickory Glen townhomes at 1,767–1,840 square feet from the high $300s; and older detached homes on the in-town grid, typically smaller footprints on established streets. Association-maintained options bundle exterior work, snow, and lawn into the fee — factor that into any payment comparison against a detached home at the same price.
Grand Pointe Meadows, off Huntley Road, delivers the most house per dollar in this band — 2000s construction, a community pool, park, and trail access, with townhomes regularly closing in the mid $300s. Hickory Glen, beside Huffman Park, is the new-construction option, and the historic blocks near Main Street produce the occasional detached home at this number. All three put you minutes from the Route 31 and Randall Road I-90 interchanges.
Conventional financing with 5–10% down is the norm here, though FHA remains viable on many townhomes. On new construction, remember the builder’s on-site agent represents the builder — bring your own representation to negotiate incentives, upgrades, and closing cost credits; it costs you nothing. On resale townhomes, we verify the association’s reserves and any coming special assessments before you’re committed.
This band moves quickest in West Dundee because it captures both first-move-up buyers and downsizers leaving larger homes. Nearly half of recent village sales closed at or above list, so a well-priced listing under $400K rarely negotiates down much. The winning play: pre-approval in hand, same-week showings, and an offer built on subdivision-level comps rather than zip-code averages.
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.
