About the community
A two-decade master-planned community in fast-growing Gilberts.
Gilberts Town Center is a master-planned residential community in the Village of Gilberts, in far-northeastern Kane County, north of Higgins Road (IL-72) and near the village's civic Town Center. It launched in the mid-2000s and built out over roughly two decades, with early single-family and townhome product from Ryland Homes and Par Development and later phases carrying the CalAtlantic and Lennar names, plus a recent collection of attached duplex homes from North Mark Homes that is now sold out. The result is a mixed community of single-family homes, townhomes, and duplexes wrapped in open space, trails, and cul-de-sac streets, positioned as an attainable option along the Randall Road corridor.

What it’s actually like to live here
Gilberts Town Center suits buyers who want relatively new, move-in-ready suburban housing at a more attainable price point than communities closer to Chicago, without giving up quick access to I-90 and the Randall Road corridor. The open space, trails, tot lots, and cul-de-sac street pattern make it comfortable for families and dog owners, and the range of product from attached townhomes and duplexes to larger single-family homes means first-time buyers, downsizers, and move-up families can all find a fit. The Village of Gilberts has grown quickly, adding infrastructure to support continued homebuilding in the area.
Day to day, the appeal is space, newness, and value: quiet residential streets, trails and parks, and a location that balances a semi-rural western Kane County feel with practical access to jobs, shopping, and O'Hare. Most availability today is resale, since the newest attached product here has sold out, so buyers shopping new construction may be choosing between a resale here and new construction elsewhere in Gilberts.
The honest tradeoffs are worth stating plainly. Kane County property taxes are steep, commonly in the 2 to 3 percent effective range, and newer master-planned phases can carry additional Special Service Area assessments, so the monthly carrying cost is higher than the sticker price alone suggests. Commuting by rail is workable but not seamless, with no station in Gilberts and the nearest terminal in Elgin oriented to weekday commuters, so a car remains essential. And because the HOA structure and school feeder pattern both vary by home, compare the exact dues, any SSA, and the assigned schools on the specific property before you commit.
The questions buyers actually ask
Gilberts Town Center FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Gilberts Town Center. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Gilberts Town Center has a community association, but dues vary significantly by product type (single-family, townhome, or duplex) and by phase, and some phases bill quarterly rather than monthly. Newer master-planned phases in Gilberts may also carry a Special Service Area (SSA) assessment. Confirm the exact assessment, what it covers, and any SSA from the disclosure for the specific home.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $6,000 – $12,000 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 Gilberts Town Center built?
- Ryland Homes (later CalAtlantic and Lennar), with Par Development and North Mark Homes built the community between 2002 and 2024. Ryland Homes (later CalAtlantic and Lennar), with Par Development and North Mark Homes stopped new construction in 2024, so every sale today is a resale.

- Yes, there is a community association, but dues differ significantly between single-family, townhome, and duplex product, and some phases bill quarterly rather than monthly.

Your local agent
Joe knows Gilberts Town Center
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.
