About the community
An executive Toll Brothers enclave on roughly one-acre lots in Gurnee.
The Estates at Churchill Hunt, often shortened to Churchill Hunt, is an upscale single-family subdivision on the north side of Gurnee in Lake County. It was built by national homebuilder Toll Brothers, with homes constructed largely between 2004 and 2009, and it forms a compact enclave of estate homes set on rolling, roughly one-acre home sites. That low density gives it an executive, spread-out character distinct from Gurnee's more typical tract subdivisions, and the English-countryside street names reinforce the feel. It is one of the higher-tier pockets of the Gurnee market, aimed at move-up and executive buyers.

What it’s actually like to live here
Churchill Hunt offers a quiet, spread-out, executive-style setting that is unusual for Gurnee. The roughly one-acre lots, curving streets, and mature landscaping give it a private, established feel, and buyers are drawn by the combination of large homes, room between neighbors, and a park with forest-preserve trail access essentially at the edge of the subdivision. It reads as a settle-in, raise-a-family neighborhood, and the 2000s construction means floor plans and systems run more modern than much of the surrounding housing stock.
Day to day, the location balances calm residential streets with genuine convenience. Everyday shopping, big-box retail, restaurants, and entertainment are minutes away by car, and I-94 and Route 41 make both the Chicago-bound commute and trips north into Wisconsin straightforward. Gurnee Park District programming and community events add a small-town social layer on top of the estate-lot privacy.
The honest tradeoffs are worth naming. This is a car-dependent neighborhood with no Metra station in town, so rail commuters drive to Grayslake or another Lake County station. Lake County property taxes are high and are the single biggest ongoing cost to underwrite. And the larger lots and homes mean more maintenance, from lawn care and snow to upkeep on bigger square footage, than a smaller-lot subdivision. Confirm your specific school assignment, tax bill, and HOA terms up front, and the estate-lot appeal tends to speak for itself.

Your local agent
Joe knows The Estates at Churchill Hunt
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.
