About the community
A 78-home pocket neighborhood at the Barrington Hills border.
Glenmoor is a compact, single-entry subdivision of 78 single-family homes on the far east side of Algonquin, in McHenry County, reached from Algonquin Road north on Haeger's Bend Road. Its origin story explains its character. The land was originally part of Barrington Hills, which requires a five-acre minimum lot size, so to build at conventional suburban density the developer arranged annexation into the Village of Algonquin. That annexation, dated April 1987, was granted on the condition that the homes be governed by strict protective covenants so the view from adjoining Barrington Hills property would stay pleasant. Certain covenant sections still cannot be amended without the written consent of Algonquin, Barrington Hills, and the neighboring Barrington Hills property owners.

What it’s actually like to live here
Glenmoor feels less like a subdivision and more like a clearing carved out of the woods at the edge of horse country. There are 78 homes, one way in, and a fence and mature tree line separating the neighborhood from Barrington Hills on two sides. The streets curl into cul-de-sacs, the canopy is more than thirty years grown in, and there is essentially no reason for anyone to drive through unless they live there. The homes are the substantial late-1980s and early-1990s product the covenants required: two-story traditionals with formal living and dining rooms, family rooms with fireplaces, big primary suites, full basements, and two- and three-car attached garages. Covenants set minimum floor areas by lot position, larger along the eastern and northern boundaries where Barrington Hills looks in.
The community rhythm is small and volunteer-run. Dues are token, the board is a handful of neighbors serving alongside architectural review, landscape and welcome committees, and a newsletter goes out that mixes storm drain reminders with lawn care tips. There is no clubhouse, no pool and no community lake, and that is by design rather than neglect. What residents get instead is proximity: Fox Bluff Conservation Area with 273 acres of Fox River bluff, woodland and fen about a mile and a half away, downtown Algonquin's riverfront parks under two miles west, and the Randall Road corridor with full big-box and restaurant coverage about five miles out. Two Metra stations on the UP-NW line sit within a five to six mile drive, which is a genuine advantage for a Chicago commuter and something most of west Algonquin cannot claim.
The honest tradeoffs start with those covenants, which are strict and enforced. No fences anywhere on the property except approved perimeter fences, no above-ground pools, no boats or campers parked outside a garage, no gravel or asphalt driveways, no metal roofs, and architect-sealed plans required for exterior changes. Buyers who want to fence a yard for a dog or park an RV should read the declaration before they write an offer, not after. Second, the homes are more than thirty-five years old, so roofs, furnaces, water heaters, windows and kitchens are on their second or third cycle, and the spread between a fully updated home and an original one is the whole ballgame on any given listing. Haeger's Bend Road is a rural, weight-restricted road, and oversized moving vans may need an overweight permit from Barrington Hills. And McHenry County property taxes are high in absolute terms and should be modeled honestly.
The questions buyers actually ask
Glenmoor FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Glenmoor. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- How much is the HOA?
- Single-family homes are $13 per month.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- The Glenmoor Homeowners' Association is self-managed by resident volunteers and bills a nominal annual fee rather than a monthly assessment. The board set 2026 dues at $150 per year, due October 31. Dues cover the front common area only: the decorative entranceway, its landscaping and lighting, the six-foot fence running the length of the subdivision along Haeger's Bend Road, and occasional attorney consultation. Trash is paid separately to the village hauler.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $10,000 – $15,000 per year, depending on home size and value. McHenry County assessor records are the source of truth. Happy to pull a specific bill on any home you're considering.
- When was Glenmoor built?
- Dartmoor Construction, with remaining lots completed by Opfer and Stuckman built the community between 1988 and 1992. Dartmoor Construction, with remaining lots completed by Opfer and Stuckman stopped new construction in 1992, so every sale today is a resale.
- What's the typical closing timeline?
- 30 to 60 days from accepted offer to keys. Cash deals can close in two weeks. Conventional financing is usually closer to 60.
- Does Glenmoor have a homeowners association, and what does it cost?
- Yes. The Glenmoor Homeowners' Association is a self-managed, volunteer-run association covering all 78 homes. The board set 2026 dues at $150 per year, payable by October 31. Dues fund the front common area only: the decorative entrance, its landscaping and lighting, and the six-foot fence that runs along Haeger's Bend Road, plus mowing, weeding, tree work and occasional legal counsel. There is no monthly assessment and no amenity package to fund.
- Can I add a fence, a pool or a shed?
- This is the single most important question for a Glenmoor buyer. The protective covenants prohibit fences anywhere on the property except the common-area fence and perimeter fences specifically approved by the board, and they prohibit above-ground swimming pools outright. Any exterior addition, alteration or new structure requires prior written approval from the Architectural Review Committee, supported by architect-sealed plans, a site plan, a landscape plan and exterior material samples. Work done without approval can be ordered undone at the owner's expense. Read the full declaration before you write an offer.
- What schools serve Glenmoor?
- Glenmoor is in Community Unit School District 300. MLS records and District 300's published feeder pattern point to Algonquin Lakes Elementary for K-5, Algonquin Middle School for 6-8, and Dundee-Crown High School for 9-12. Because Algonquin straddles McHenry and Kane counties and is split among districts, and because District 300 has revised its boundaries several times in recent years, confirm your specific address on the district's school locator before making a decision based on school assignment.
- Is Glenmoor in Barrington Hills or Algonquin, and which county?
- It is in the Village of Algonquin, McHenry County, with a 60102 mailing address. The land was originally part of Barrington Hills and was annexed into Algonquin in 1987 so it could be developed at suburban density. As a condition of that annexation, Barrington Hills and the neighboring Barrington Hills property owners retain the right to enforce certain covenant provisions, and several sections cannot be amended without their written consent along with Algonquin's. The northern and eastern lots back directly onto Barrington Hills, which is why the setting reads more rural than the address suggests.
- What do homes here sell for and how is the market?
- Rather than quote a number that goes stale, check the Market snapshot on this page. It pulls current active listings, recent closings and days on market straight from the MLS. In broad terms Glenmoor sits in the upper-middle tier of Algonquin resale, because the homes are large and the lots are mature, and inventory is thin simply because there are only 78 houses in the entire subdivision.
- What is the commute like from Glenmoor?
- Glenmoor sits between two Metra Union Pacific Northwest stations, Fox River Grove and Cary, each roughly a five to six mile drive, both in Fare Zone 4 and both about 37 to 38 rail miles from Ogilvie Transportation Center. By car, I-90 is reached at the Randall Road interchange in Elgin, roughly twenty to twenty-five minutes south. Route 62 out the front door runs east toward Barrington and west into Algonquin.

Your local agent
Joe knows Glenmoor
Most agents will list anything. I focus on the places I actually know, and the things that move value here don't show up in the MLS write-up: which streets and buildings hold demand, what the HOA or assessments really cover, how the comps read once you account for condition and location, and where buyers consistently want to be.
When you're ready to tour or list, you want someone who has read the last 50 closed comps in this specific market, not a national average, and can tell you what they actually mean for your price. That's how I work. Text or call any time, and I'll give you a real take, not a brochure.
