About the community
New construction in Johnsburg, with a townhome and single-family mix.
Remington Grove sits on the west side of Route 31 (Richmond Road) inside the Village of Johnsburg, and it is one of the few local neighborhoods where a buyer can still purchase true new construction. Homes have gone up in phases since about 2006, originally by Remington Homes, with single-family plans now completed by KLM Builders and a townhome section marketed by Heartland Real Estate Partners. That gives it an unusually broad mix for one subdivision: attached townhomes at the entry level and detached ranches and two-stories for move-up buyers, all on village water and sewer with sidewalks and street lights.

What it’s actually like to live here
Remington Grove suits buyers who want new or newer construction and full village services at a McHenry County price that is generally more attainable than the Crystal Lake or Barrington corridors to the south. The townhome section is a practical landing spot for first-time buyers and downsizers who would rather not shovel and mow, while the single-family ranch and two-story plans appeal to move-up families and empty-nesters who want a main-floor primary suite and a full basement.
Day to day, life here is quiet and residential, with McHenry's shopping, restaurants, and hospital a short drive away and the Chain O'Lakes close enough that boating, fishing, and lakeside dining are realistic weekend activities. The neighborhood feeds one tight-knit school district, which many local families count as a plus.
The honest tradeoffs are worth naming. Like most of McHenry County, the effective property tax rate is high relative to the national norm, so model that carrying cost before you buy. There is no train in town, so a downtown-Chicago commuter drives to McHenry, Crystal Lake, or Fox Lake to catch Metra. And amenities are modest: this is a subdivision with open space and nearby parks, not a resort-style community with a clubhouse and pool, and lake access is via public launches and marinas rather than a private neighborhood waterfront.
Market trends
Why this market moves the way it does
Remington Grove trades on new construction and value. Because KLM Builders is still delivering single-family homes, early resales compete directly against brand-new inventory, so a resale needs to be priced sensibly against what the builder is offering. Townhomes and single-family homes move on different buyer pools and should be compared within their own type.
What holds value
The fundamentals matter more than the cosmetics here. Buyers want floor plan, lot, and basement, in that order. Cosmetics are the tiebreaker.
- New construction sets the comp
- With the builder still selling single-family homes, resales compete against brand-new product and need to price accordingly.
- Townhome versus single-family
- Townhomes are the affordable, lower-maintenance entry point; detached ranches and two-stories are move-up priced and draw a different buyer.
- Home age and updates
- The community spans nearly two decades of construction, so a well-kept newer home and an early-phase resale can price quite differently.
- Lot position
- Homes backing to open space, ponds, or the wetland corridors carry appeal over interior lots facing another home.
- One school district
- The single Johnsburg District 12 feeder is a steady, repeatable draw for families comparing Johnsburg to neighboring towns.
Real talk
Who shouldn’t buy here
Here is the honest version before you tour.
You are buying in a community that is still finishing. New single-family homes are still going up, so an early buyer may live near active construction, and a resale is priced against the builder's current inventory rather than in a vacuum.
McHenry County property taxes run high relative to the national norm, and a brand-new home's first bill can lag until the house is fully assessed, then climb. Verify the parcel's assessment and the effective rate with the county before you rely on a first-year figure.
This is not a walk-to-train or resort-amenity community. There is no Metra station in Johnsburg, so daily downtown commuters drive to a neighboring station, and lake access is via public launches and marinas, not a private waterfront. For a local or hybrid worker who wants new construction and small-town schools, that is a fair trade; for a daily downtown commuter or an amenity seeker, weigh it honestly.
One piece of advice
“Remington Grove is one of the few places in Johnsburg to buy genuinely new construction, and the townhome and single-family mix means most buyers can find a fit. Decide whether you want the lower-maintenance townhome or a detached home with a basement, confirm the current HOA dues for that home type, budget for McHenry County taxes, and drive your real commute given there is no train in town. Sort those out and it is a solid value.”
The questions buyers actually ask
Remington Grove FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Remington Grove. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Yes, Remington Grove has an active homeowners association with an architectural committee. Dues vary by home type: single-family lots carry a low general subdivision assessment, while townhomes pay a higher monthly fee that typically covers common-area and exterior maintenance for the attached section. The published range comes from listing sources rather than the association's own fee schedule, so confirm the current dues and exact coverage with the HOA disclosure before you write an offer.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $6,000 – $9,000 per year, depending on home size and value. McHenry County assessor records are the source of truth. Happy to pull a specific bill on any home you're considering.
- When was Remington Grove built?
- Remington Homes, KLM Builders, and Heartland Real Estate Partners built the community between 2006 and 2026.
- What's the typical closing timeline?
- 30 to 45 days from accepted offer to keys. Cash deals can close in two weeks. Conventional financing is usually closer to 45.
- Is Remington Grove still being built, or is it fully established?
- Both. Earlier phases are established and lived-in, and new single-family homes are still being constructed by KLM Builders, so buyers can choose between resale and true new construction within the same subdivision.
- Who built Remington Grove?
- It was originally developed by Remington Homes starting around 2006, with remaining single-family homes now built by KLM Builders and a townhome section marketed by Heartland Real Estate Partners. That is why you will see different model names across listings.
- What kinds of homes are here?
- Two types. Attached townhomes, generally two and three-bedroom plans in the roughly 1,400 to 1,900 square foot range, and detached single-family ranch and two-story plans that run larger, with full basements and two or three-car garages.
- Is there an HOA and what does it cover?
- Yes. Dues differ by home type: single-family lots carry a low general assessment, while townhomes pay a higher monthly fee that typically covers common-area and exterior maintenance. Confirm the exact current dues and coverage with the association disclosure before you write an offer.
- What schools will my kids attend?
- The community is in Johnsburg Community Unit School District 12, a small single-feeder district that generally serves Ringwood School Primary Center for the early grades, then Johnsburg Elementary, Johnsburg Junior High, and Johnsburg High School. Confirm the current grade bands and boundaries with the district for your exact address.
- Can I get on the Chain O'Lakes from here?
- Yes, but not from your backyard. Remington Grove is not waterfront. Johnsburg sits on Pistakee Lake with several public launches and marinas nearby, so lake access is via a launch, a slip, or a club membership.
- Who is the real estate agent for Remington Grove?

Joe prices and negotiates from the live MRED sold comps for Remington Grove specifically, not national averages, and can help you buy or sell here.

Your local agent
Joe knows Remington 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.
