The village’s established move-up neighborhood — 1990s single-family homes on roughly third-acre lots north of Route 72, with no association fee and recent sales into the low $600s.
Hills of West Dundee is where I point buyers who want real square footage on a real lot without an association invoice. Built primarily through the 1990s — sources attribute the community to builder Windsor, with construction running from about 1990 to 2002 — it sits north of Higgins Road (Route 72) east of Sleepy Hollow Road, on streets whose Scottish names nod to the township’s founders. Homes run roughly 2,350 to 3,200-plus square feet on lots averaging about a third of an acre, with three to five bedrooms and the era’s center-hall family layouts.
Pricing has strengthened notably. Recent closed sales span roughly $420K to $620K, with the last two years’ medians running between the low $500s and the mid $570s — and no HOA fee anywhere in the neighborhood. Reported average property taxes range from about $8,900 to $10,700 depending on source and home size; as always, we pull the actual bill on any specific property. For buyers cross-shopping Carrington Reserve, the trade is straightforward: Hills of West Dundee gives you the larger lot and zero dues; Carrington gives you newer systems and community amenities.
The location splits the difference between the village’s two worlds — a few minutes east lies the historic downtown and the Fox River Trail, a few minutes west the Randall Road corridor and the I-90 interchange. Inventory is thin, usually one or two homes at a time, and the well-priced ones draw immediate attention. If this neighborhood is on your list, same-week showings are the discipline that wins it.
