About the community
A settled 1990s Sundance community in the heart of Gurnee.
Ravinia Woods is an established single-family subdivision in Gurnee, developed by Sundance Homes and built out through the mid-to-late 1990s. It is a sizable, cohesive community of roughly 500 homes with mature trees, sidewalks, curbed streets, and a central pond and park. The character is classic 1990s suburban Gurnee: traditional two-story family homes on modest-to-quarter-acre lots, quiet interior streets, and a location that trades on Gurnee's shopping, highway access, and family amenities rather than on rural acreage or luxury custom builds.

What it’s actually like to live here
Ravinia Woods suits buyers who want a settled, family-oriented Gurnee neighborhood with everyday convenience baked in. The homes are true 1990s move-up product with room to spread out, attached garages, full basements, and a floor-plan mix that works for growing families, set on a walkable street grid with a park, pond, and trail at the center. Day to day, you are minutes from Gurnee Mills, the Grand Avenue retail and dining strip, Six Flags Great America, and the I-94 corridor, which is a big part of the appeal: this is a location that keeps errands, commuting, and family outings short.
The tradeoffs are the ones common to this pocket of Lake County. Property taxes are high, so the monthly cost of ownership runs above what the purchase price alone suggests, and buyers should underwrite that carefully. The homes are now roughly thirty years old, which means condition varies house to house: some are beautifully renovated, others will need kitchen, bath, roof, or mechanical updates, so inspection and a renovation budget matter here. And while the neighborhood is quiet and interior-focused, it sits in a busy, high-traffic part of Gurnee near major retail and the tollway, so it trades rural quiet for suburban convenience.
For commuters, the honest picture is car-first. Highway access is genuinely strong, but there is no Metra station in Gurnee, so train riders drive to Grayslake to catch the MD-N or North Central Service into the city. Buyers who value walk-to-rail should weigh that; buyers who value shopping, schools, highways, and family amenities within a few minutes will find Ravinia Woods checks a lot of boxes.
The questions buyers actually ask
Ravinia Woods FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Ravinia Woods. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Ravinia Woods has a homeowners association with low dues, reported roughly in the ten to twenty-eight dollars a month range (some listings show an annual assessment around a hundred dollars). At that level it functions as a light common-area association covering the community park, pond and detention areas, walking trails, the gazebo, entrance signage, and common landscaping rather than individual-home services. Confirm the current dues, inclusions, and any transfer fees with the association before writing an offer.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $10,000 – $14,000 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 Ravinia Woods built?
- Sundance Homes built the community between 1993 and 1998. Sundance Homes stopped new construction in 1998, 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.
- What kind of homes are in Ravinia Woods?
- Detached single-family homes built by Sundance Homes in the mid-to-late 1990s, mostly two-story traditionals with some ranches, typically three to four bedrooms, attached two-car garages, and many with full basements.
- When was Ravinia Woods built, and who developed it?
- It was developed by Sundance Homes and built out through the 1990s, so most homes are now around thirty years old. Condition varies from beautifully renovated to closer to original.
- Is there an HOA, and what does it cover?
- Yes, but dues are low. It is a light common-area association covering the community park, pond, trails, gazebo, entrance, and common landscaping rather than individual-home services. Confirm the current dues and inclusions with the association before purchase.
- What schools serve Ravinia Woods?
- Woodland CCSD 50 for elementary and middle school, through the district's grade-level centers, and Warren Township High School District 121 for high school. Grade-center and campus assignments can change year to year, so verify the current assignment with the districts.
- How is the commute and access to shopping?
- Access is a core strength: I-94 (Tri-State Tollway), US 41, and Route 132 (Grand Avenue) are all close, and Gurnee Mills and Six Flags Great America are minutes away. Note there is no Metra station in Gurnee itself; the nearest train service is in Grayslake.
- What do homes in Ravinia Woods cost?
- Pricing moves with the market, so rather than quote a figure here, check the live Market snapshot on this page for current listings and recent sales.

Your local agent
Joe knows Ravinia Woods
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.
