About the community
A settled, family-oriented Buffalo Grove neighborhood around Old Farm Park.
Old Farm Village is an established residential subdivision on the Lake County side of Buffalo Grove, off Deerfield Road between Buffalo Grove Road and Weiland Road, north of Lake Cook Road. It was built primarily by Lexington Homes, with a local profile describing 585 houses from a handful of single-family floor plans plus an attached townhome-and-condo community with its own pool and clubhouse. The single-family homes date largely from the late 1980s through the mid-1990s. The character is a settled, tree-lined neighborhood known for its many cul-de-sacs, walking and bike paths, and the way the streets fold around Old Farm Park, feeding into well-regarded schools.

What it’s actually like to live here
Old Farm Village reads as a classic move-up suburban neighborhood built for families. The layout is one of its defining traits: residents point to the abundance of cul-de-sacs, the larger lots that keep neighbors from feeling stacked together, and the way the streets fold around Old Farm Park and its playgrounds, fields, and bike path. Because the subdivision includes both townhomes and single-family homes, households can move up in size without leaving the neighborhood or changing schools, which contributes to long tenures and familiar faces.
The practical draws are schools and recreation. Feeding into Aptakisic-Tripp District 102 and then Adlai Stevenson High School, a perennially top-ranked Illinois high school, is a major reason buyers target this pocket of Buffalo Grove. The Buffalo Grove Park District adds real depth beyond the neighborhood park, with a fitness center, pools, a dog park, a skate park, and a full calendar of camps and community events. Everyday errands and dining are close, and commuters have two Metra stations in town plus quick access to the main arterials.
The honest tradeoffs are the ones common to this area and vintage. Property taxes are high, in the high-2 to low-3 percent effective-rate range of market value, which is a meaningful line item to budget for. The homes date to the late 1980s and early-to-mid 1990s, so many will show original-era finishes or partial updates, and buyers wanting turnkey modern interiors should expect to renovate or pay up. Metra's North Central Service is convenient but runs relatively few trains a day, so transit-dependent commuters should check the schedule, and because Buffalo Grove is split across counties and districts, confirm the exact tax rate and school assignment by address.

- Roughly $11,000 – $17,000 per year, depending on home size and value. Lake County assessor records are the source of truth. Happy to pull a specific bill on any home you're considering.
- When was Old Farm Village built?
- Lexington Homes built the community between 1984 and 1996. There are 585+ homes total. Lexington Homes stopped new construction in 1996, so every sale today is a resale.

- What kinds of homes are available?
- Both detached single-family houses, mostly two-story on larger lots from a handful of Lexington floor plans, and a section of townhomes and condominiums with one to three bedrooms. That mix lets buyers move up within the same neighborhood and schools.

Your local agent
Joe knows Old Farm Village
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.
