About the community
A convenient, mid-market community on Elgin's west side.
Mulberry Grove is an early-to-mid-2000s residential subdivision on the west side of Elgin in Kane County, along McDonald Road just east of the Randall Road corridor. It was built by Concord Homes, roughly from 2002 to 2006, and mixes detached single-family homes with a section of attached townhomes and condos on curving, sidewalk-lined streets. Its main draw is access: everyday shopping, dining, a regional hospital, and I-90 are all a short drive rather than an expedition.

What it’s actually like to live here
Mulberry Grove suits buyers who want a settled, early-2000s suburban feel with genuinely convenient access to shopping, healthcare, and commuter rail. Day to day, it is a quiet residential pocket of sidewalks, a neighborhood park, and a small water feature, close enough to the Randall Road corridor that groceries, restaurants, a regional hospital, and highway on-ramps are all a short drive. The mix of detached homes and townhomes means the neighborhood works for move-up families in the larger Concord single-family plans and first-time or right-sizing buyers in the attached homes at the same time.
The honest tradeoffs are worth naming. This is a convenience-and-value location, not a luxury or lakefront enclave, and homes here are now around two decades old, so some will show original-era kitchens, baths, and mechanicals that a buyer should budget to update. The very thing that makes the location easy, proximity to Randall Road and I-90, also means nearby traffic and commercial density, though the interior streets stay calm.
The two-product structure creates two different ownership experiences under one neighborhood name: townhome and condo owners trade a higher monthly assessment for exterior maintenance and lower personal upkeep, while single-family owners pay far less to the association but handle their own exterior, lawn, and snow. This is northern Illinois, so budget clearly for Kane County property taxes, and note that U-46 is actively redrawing K-8 boundaries for 2026-27, so verify school assignment at the address level before writing an offer.
The questions buyers actually ask
Mulberry Grove FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Mulberry Grove. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- How much is the HOA?
- Single-family homes are $25 per month.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Dues vary by home type. Single-family owners typically pay a low association assessment for common areas, while townhome and condo owners pay a higher monthly assessment that can include landscaping, snow removal, and exterior and master insurance on the attached buildings. Third-party listings show a range from roughly the low $20s to the mid $300s a month depending on the home. Confirm the current dues and governing documents for the specific home.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $6,000 – $9,000 per year, depending on home size and value. Kane County assessor records are the source of truth. Happy to pull a specific bill on any home you're considering.
- When was Mulberry Grove built?
- Concord Homes built the community between 2002 and 2006. Concord Homes stopped new construction in 2006, 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.
- Who built Mulberry Grove and when?
- It was built by Concord Homes in the early-to-mid 2000s, roughly 2002 to 2006. It combines single-family homes and attached townhomes and condos on Elgin's west side, just east of Randall Road.
- Is there an HOA, and what does it cover?
- Yes, and dues depend on which type of home you buy. Single-family owners generally pay a low association assessment for common areas, while townhome and condo owners pay a higher monthly assessment that can include landscaping, snow removal, and exterior insurance on the attached buildings. Always request the current dues and governing documents for the specific home.
- What schools serve Mulberry Grove?
- The community is in Elgin Area School District U-46. Aggregator data lists Fox Meadow Elementary, Kenyon Woods Middle, and South Elgin High School, but U-46 is changing K-8 boundaries for 2026-27, including moving 6th grade to the middle schools. Confirm your exact schools using the official U-46 School Locator before you rely on any assignment.
- How is the commute?
- Strong for a west-Elgin location. You have fast access to Randall Road and I-90 (Jane Addams Tollway), plus Metra's Milwaukee District West line into Chicago Union Station, with the Big Timber Road station a short drive away.
- What do homes cost and how is the market?
- Pricing and inventory move constantly, so this page shows a live Market snapshot pulled from current MLS data rather than a fixed number. In general character, Mulberry Grove offers mid-market value with a clear step-up from the attached homes to the larger single-family homes.
- What tradeoffs should I know about?
- The homes are now roughly two decades old, so budget for updates on some properties, and the location's convenience comes with busy surrounding arterials. Kane County property tax rates are high by national standards, and school boundaries are being redrawn for 2026-27, so verify assignments by address.

Your local agent
Joe knows Mulberry Grove
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.
