About the community
Ground-floor living with a garage, at a DuPage County price that is hard to find.
Cambria is a small, established attached-home pocket in the southeast quadrant of Glendale Heights, north of North Avenue and west of Main Street, on a quiet grid of short streets and cul-de-sacs wrapped around a village park. Its homes date from the village's growth boom, roughly 1963 through 1974. One thing to understand before you shop here: the Cambria name in the MLS covers two genuinely different products. Most of the community is 1970s condominium quads, four single-story units to a building, many with an attached one-car garage. Mixed in are early-1960s two-story townhomes recorded as fee simple homes on their own deeded lots, some carrying no association dues at all. Those are different purchases with different obligations.

Sidney Park in the street grid

UChicago Medicine AdventHealth GlenOaks on Winthrop Avenue is inside the village and roughly eight tenths of a mile away.
Marquardt 15 and Glenbard 87
Address-level boundary data puts these streets in Marquardt School District 15 for K-8 and Glenbard Township High School District 87.

What it’s actually like to live here
Cambria is what people picture when they picture a first home that is actually a condo. The buildings are low, the streets are short, and after fifty-plus years the trees have caught up with the architecture. Most of the community is single-story quad buildings, four homes to a structure, which means no upstairs neighbor and no shared stairwell, and on many units an attached one-car garage with your own driveway. That combination, ground-floor living plus a private garage plus exterior maintenance and snow removal handled by the association, is genuinely hard to find at this price point anywhere in DuPage County. A small village park sits right inside the street grid, so green space is a walk out the door rather than a drive.
The location punches above its price. North Avenue is a half mile south with everyday retail and a Menards essentially at the back door. A full hospital, AdventHealth GlenOaks, is under a mile away. The Glen Ellyn Metra station on the Union Pacific West line is about two miles south, which puts a downtown Chicago commute within reach without paying Glen Ellyn prices to get it, and I-355 is a couple of miles west for anyone driving the tollway system. Village amenities are unusually good for a community this size: Camera Park's 64 acres, the Sports Hub, the GH2O aquatic center, and a municipal golf course the village owns and runs.
The honest tradeoffs are real. First, this is 1960s and 1970s housing and it lives like it. Units run small, most are two bedrooms and one bath, closets are tight, and mechanicals, roofs, siding, and driveways in a community of this vintage are a perpetual capital question, so read the reserve study before you read the listing photos. Second, the Cambria name covers two different animals, condominium quads with a monthly assessment and fee simple two-story townhomes with none, and those carry different maintenance obligations, financing profiles, and resale audiences. Third, condo financing at this age and price band can be its own hurdle, since lenders scrutinize owner-occupancy ratios, reserves, and insurance on small associations. And fourth, this is a working suburban pocket close to a state highway, not a curated master-planned community with a clubhouse and a gate. Buyers who want that will not find it here. Buyers who want a low-maintenance, ground-floor home in DuPage County with a Metra station two miles away will find very few alternatives at this price.
The questions buyers actually ask
Cambria FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Cambria. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- The condominium quads carry a monthly assessment through the Cambria Consolidated Condominium Association. Recorded MLS data shows the assessment covering common insurance, exterior maintenance, lawn care, scavenger service, and snow removal, with water, sewer, gas, and electric billed separately to the owner. Reported assessments across the community have ranged roughly $180 to $391 per month depending on the unit and building. The early-1960s two-story townhomes in the same MLS label are recorded as fee simple with no association fee at all. Because the number varies by building and by unit, request the current assessment, the association budget, the reserve study, and a paid assessment letter during attorney review.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $3,500 – $5,200 per year, depending on home size and value. DuPage County assessor records are the source of truth. Happy to pull a specific bill on any home you're considering.
- 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.
- Is Cambria condos or townhomes?
- Both, and the difference matters. The majority of the community is 1970s condominiums built as quad ranches, four single-story units per building, typically two bedrooms and one bath, many with an attached one-car garage. Mixed in are early-1960s two-story townhomes with up to three bedrooms and a full basement, recorded as fee simple homes on their own individually deeded lots. Confirm the ownership type on the specific unit before you write an offer, because it changes your dues, your maintenance responsibilities, and your financing.
- Is there an HOA, and what does it cover?
- The condominium buildings have a monthly assessment through the Cambria Consolidated Condominium Association. Recorded MLS data shows the assessment covering common insurance, exterior maintenance, lawn care, trash removal, and snow removal. Water, sewer, gas, and electric are billed separately to the owner. The two-story fee simple townhomes in the same MLS label can have no association dues at all. Because the number varies by building and by unit, always request the current assessment amount, the association budget, the reserve study, and a paid assessment letter during attorney review.
- When were these homes built, and how big are they?
- Construction runs from roughly 1963 through 1974. Living area across the community runs from about 795 square feet up to about 1,224 square feet, with two bedrooms the most common layout and three bedrooms available in the larger two-story townhomes. The condominium quads are single story on a slab or crawl, generally aluminum siding with asphalt shingle roofs and gas forced air with central air.
- What do homes cost here, and how is the market?
- Pricing in Cambria moves, so rather than freeze a number here, check the live Market snapshot on this page. It pulls current listing and sale activity straight from the MLS. What is fair to say generally is that this is one of the more affordable ownership entry points in DuPage County, which is exactly why it draws both first-time buyers and investors.
- What schools serve Cambria?
- Addresses in the community are in Marquardt School District 15 for elementary and middle school and Glenbard Township High School District 87 for high school, confirmed at the address level against census school district boundaries. Marquardt Middle School on Glen Ellyn Road is the district's only middle school. Charles G. Reskin Elementary is the closest District 15 elementary and the one commonly reported for this area, and Glenbard East in Lombard is the high school commonly reported. Attendance boundaries can change and the district line for a neighboring elementary district runs very close to these streets, so confirm assignment for the exact address with Marquardt District 15 and with Glenbard District 87 before you rely on it.
- How is the commute from here?
- Better than most buyers expect. The Glen Ellyn station on Metra's Union Pacific West line, which runs into Ogilvie Transportation Center, is about two miles south, and Pace Route 715 connects Glendale Heights to that station for riders who would rather not park. For drivers, North Avenue is a half mile south, I-355 is about two miles west, Route 53 is under two and a half miles east, and O'Hare is about nine and a half miles.

Your local agent
Joe knows Cambria
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.
