The larger, west-bank half of the Dundee pair in Chicago’s Western Suburbs — about 7,900 people in Kane County with a historic Main Street downtown, the Fox River Trail, 2000s subdivisions off Randall Road, and 102 acres of the former Spring Hill Mall slated for redevelopment.
West Dundee is where I send buyers who want the character of a 19th-century river town and the practicality of 2000s subdivision housing in the same zip code. It’s the bigger, west-bank half of the Dundee pair—about 7,900 people in Kane County, roughly 40 miles northwest of the Loop—stretching from the Fox River west across Route 31 to the Randall Road corridor.
The downtown along Main Street (Route 72) is shared with East Dundee across the bridge, and the west side holds its own: Emmett’s Brewing Company has anchored the strip since 1999, the Village Squire has been serving locals even longer, and the Fox River Trail crosses right through. Follow Main Street west and the town changes character—first the Victorian-era grid, then Route 31, then the retail and rooftops of the Randall Road corridor.
The housing stock tells the story in layers. The historic core near the river dates to the village’s 1830s founding by Scottish settlers. The 1990s added the Hills of West Dundee; the 2000s brought Carrington Reserve and Grand Pointe Meadows off Randall and Huntley Roads; Aspen Hills followed in the 2010s; and Lennar’s Hickory Glen townhomes brought newer construction to a corridor where most villages are built out.
And then there’s the site everyone asks about: Spring Hill Mall is gone, and the village now controls roughly 102 acres where it stood. Concept plans call for hundreds of housing units and new retail over the coming decade. However it lands, it’s the largest redevelopment canvas in the Fox Valley—and it’s in West Dundee.
I-90 runs along the village’s southern edge with full interchanges at Route 31 and Randall Road—the Loop is 60 to 75 minutes off-peak and O’Hare about 30 miles east. There’s no Metra station in town; most commuters drive roughly 10 minutes to the Big Timber Road station in Elgin on the Milwaukee District West line, which reaches Union Station in about 75 minutes. For I-90 corridor jobs—Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates, Rosemont—West Dundee is one of the easiest launch points in the Fox Valley.
The patterns we see across West Dundee neighborhoods. For current numbers on a specific property, ask us for a market analysis.
West Dundee generally prices above its immediate neighbors, reflecting its newer and larger subdivision housing. In a village this size, monthly figures swing on the mix of what sold, so neighborhood comps matter more than village-wide averages. Compare East Dundee or Carpentersville for more entry-level options.
Well-priced listings in Carrington Reserve and Grand Pointe Meadows tend to draw showings the first weekend, while overpriced homes sit. Pricing strategy built on true subdivision comps is what separates a quick sale from a stale listing.
With most of the village built out, the number of homes for sale at any given time tends to run thin relative to buyer demand. Correctly priced homes can command full price or better, which is why serious buyers benefit from same-day alerts on new listings.
Hickory Glen, next to Huffman Park, brought rare newer construction to the immediate Dundee area—Lennar townhomes around 1,750–1,850 square feet. Newer homes this close to downtown and I-90 don’t usually coexist. See West Dundee townhome listings.
Most of my West Dundee buyers work the I-90 corridor—Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates, Elgin—or are moving over from Algonquin and the Barrington area for more house per dollar. The village’s pitch is hard to beat: 2000s subdivision housing, a real downtown, and the tollway five minutes away.
West Dundee tax bills tend to run above the Kane County median, reflecting higher home values. Bills vary with assessments and exemptions, so always verify the full tax bill on any specific property.
From Pulte-built family subdivisions to brand-new Lennar townhomes. These are the areas my buyers ask about most.
The village’s flagship family subdivision—Pulte homes from the early 2000s off Higgins Road east of Randall, roughly 2,000 to 5,100 square feet with ponds, parks, and tennis courts.
See Carrington Reserve-Area Listings →A 2000s community off Huntley Road with single-family homes and townhomes side by side—roughly 1,400 to 5,300 square feet—plus a community pool, park, and trail access.
See Grand Pointe Meadows Listings →Lennar’s townhome community on Shagbark Lane next to Huffman Park—three-bedroom plans around 1,750–1,850 square feet. Some of the newest production homes in the Dundees.
See Hickory Glen Listings →1990s single-family homes around 2,300 to 3,200 square feet on roughly third-acre lots—and no HOA fee, making this the village’s established move-up neighborhood.
See Hills of West Dundee Listings →One of the village’s newest single-family pockets, built in the 2010s off Karen Drive west of Route 31—four-bedroom homes roughly 2,000 to 3,100 square feet. Listings are scarce; homes here tend to stay put.
See West Dundee Listings →The blocks off Main Street near the Fox hold the village’s original housing—Victorians and early-1900s homes within walking distance of Emmett’s, the river, and the trail. These trade infrequently and sell on character. When one lists, it moves.

Note: District 300 boundaries cross municipal lines, and school assignments within the district vary by address and can change. Buyers should verify the current school assignment for any specific address directly with the district. Our team can help clarify. Visit District 300 →
The historic downtown along Main Street is the village’s living room: Emmett’s Brewing Company has brewed on the strip since 1999, the Village Squire has fed generations, and the bridge puts East Dundee’s restaurant row a two-minute walk away.
The regional trail crosses through the Dundees along the river—40+ miles of paved path connecting Elgin, Algonquin, and beyond, tying into a network that stretches across northern Illinois. Bike commutes and weekend rides start at your doorstep.
The Dundee Township Park District’s flagship on Randall Road—a petting zoo, golf course, sled hill, and picnic groves in one sprawling park. It’s the kind of amenity most villages this size simply don’t have.
With the mall demolished, the village controls roughly 102 acres at Routes 31 and 72 and has previewed concepts ranging from an “urban village” to a mixed-use boulevard—hundreds of new homes and shops over the next decade. Buyers here are buying into that upside.
The Dundee Township Park District serves both sides of the river with programs, pools, and parks. In town, Huffman Park covers playgrounds, soccer fields, tennis, and a skate park, with Grafelman Park tucked into the historic district.
The Dundees run a shared calendar that punches above their size: Heritage Fest lands in September, Dickens in Dundee lights up December, and summer runs on cruise nights and street festivals rooted in the towns’ 19th-century heritage.
The pitch: 2000s subdivision housing you can actually find, a historic downtown you can walk to, the Fox River Trail, and I-90 five minutes away—at prices meaningfully below Algonquin and the Barrington corridor. Most of my West Dundee buyers compared three or four towns and landed here on value.
Most of the village’s subdivisions are 2000s single-family homes. The range runs wide—Village Quarter condos are the entry point, while the largest Grand Pointe Meadows and Carrington Reserve homes sit at the top of the market. Randall Road retail keeps daily errands close.
Tax bills tend to run above the Kane County median, reflecting the village’s newer, larger housing stock. Individual bills vary with assessments and exemptions, so we verify the actual tax bill on every property we show. No surprises at the closing table.
Village scale with corridor convenience: groceries and big-box retail on Randall Road, healthcare at Advocate Sherman Hospital about 10 minutes south in Elgin, and two downtowns’ worth of restaurants across one bridge. Expect to see your neighbors at Heritage Fest whether you planned to go or not.
Our team works the Fox River corridor every day, from our office at 201 E Veterans Parkway in Yorkville up through the Dundees. We know which West Dundee associations are well-run, what the Randall corridor premium is worth, and how the Spring Hill plans affect each nearby block.
We track pricing and inventory across every West Dundee pocket—Carrington Reserve to Grand Pointe Meadows to the historic grid. Subdivision-level data is the difference between a fair offer and an expensive guess, and we bring it to every conversation.
When you’re weighing newer construction like Hickory Glen, you need someone who reads builder contracts, incentives, and upgrade pricing for a living. We represent you—not the builder—and we know when a near-new resale in Grand Pointe Meadows is the better deal.
Professional photography, strategic pricing, targeted marketing, contract negotiation, and closing coordination. In a market where half of sales close over asking, presentation and pricing strategy decide which half your home lands in.
From Village Quarter condos to townhome rentals near the I-90 employment corridor, we provide rental demand analysis, cash flow projections, and honest guidance on which properties actually pencil—including the ones that don’t.
Our Google reviews tell the story: responsive communication, local expertise, and results. We earn referrals by delivering a level of service that national platforms and discount brokerages can’t match.
