About the community
Newer D.R. Horton single-family homes on the southwest side of Joliet.
Cedar Creek is a newer-construction, single-family community in southwest Joliet, in Will County, built by national production builder D.R. Horton. The homes are modern two-story plans with attached garages, open main-floor living, and D.R. Horton's standard smart-home package. It is a straightforward, value-oriented new-construction neighborhood rather than a heavily amenitized master-planned community, aimed at buyers who want a move-in-ready home at an attainable price.

What’s close

- Highway
- I-80 is the closest interstate, connecting to I-55 and the Route 59 corridor through Shorewood.

- The high school is expected to be within Joliet Township High School District 204, but the elementary and middle assignment for this location is not automatic. Confirm the assigned schools for the exact address before relying on it.

What it’s actually like to live here
Cedar Creek suits buyers who want brand-new construction at an attainable price without the premium of a large master-planned community. The homes are efficient two-story plans with three to four bedrooms, open main-floor living, and smart-home tech included as standard, which appeals to first-time buyers, right-sizers, and families who value a low-maintenance, move-in-ready home over a fixer or older resale. The southwest-Joliet setting keeps buyers close to everyday retail, area forest preserves and trails, and Ascension Saint Joseph for healthcare.
The location leans practical and commuter-friendly rather than boutique. I-80 is the workhorse highway here, tying into I-55 for trips toward Chicago, the southwest suburbs, or downstate, and Metra and Amtrak service out of downtown Joliet gives a rail option for city-bound commuters, though the nearest fast express service is a drive north. Buyers who work in Naperville, Bolingbrook, or the I-88 corridor should test their real commute before assuming it is short.
The honest tradeoffs: this is a value community, not an amenity-rich one, so expect a playground and walking path rather than a pool or clubhouse. Will County property taxes are meaningful and should be budgeted carefully, and a possible Special Service Area assessment plus HOA dues add to monthly carrying costs. Most importantly for families, the school assignment on this part of Joliet is not automatic and varies by street, so confirm the assigned elementary, middle, and high school for the exact address before falling in love with a lot.
The questions buyers actually ask
Cedar Creek FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Cedar Creek. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Cedar Creek is a newer subdivision with a homeowner association. Dues typically maintain the common areas, entrances, and shared open space and walking path. The current amount and exact coverage should be confirmed with the builder's sales office or the management company, and buyers should ask separately whether the home carries a Special Service Area (SSA) assessment, which is common in newer Will County subdivisions and is billed separately from HOA dues.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $8,000 – $13,000 per year, depending on home size and value. Will County assessor records are the source of truth. Happy to pull a specific bill on any home you're considering.
- When was Cedar Creek built?
- D.R. Horton built the community between 2019 and 2025.
- 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.
- Who builds Cedar Creek and is it new construction?
- Yes. Cedar Creek's current phase is new construction by D.R. Horton, a national production builder. Homes are recently built two-story single-family plans with attached garages and a standard smart-home package.
- What do homes cost and how is the market?
- Cedar Creek is positioned as attainably priced new construction. For current pricing, available inventory, and how the market is moving, see the live Market snapshot on this page, which pulls directly from the MLS rather than a static number.
- What school district is Cedar Creek in?
- The high school is expected to be within Joliet Township High School District 204, but the elementary and middle assignment for this southwest-Joliet location is not automatic and should be confirmed for your exact address. Contact the district or use the boundary lookup before you buy; the builder's nearby-schools list is not the same as an attendance zone.
- Is there an HOA, and what does it cover?
- Yes, Cedar Creek has a homeowner association. Dues and exact coverage should be confirmed with the D.R. Horton sales office or the management company; associations here typically maintain common areas, entrances, and shared open space. Ask separately about any Special Service Area assessment.
- What are the amenities?
- Amenities are modest and family-friendly: a playground and a walking path, plus nearby forest preserves, trails, and parks. This is not a pool-and-clubhouse community.
- What are property taxes like?
- Will County effective property-tax rates run high relative to national norms, and newer subdivisions with fresh infrastructure often sit toward the higher end, roughly in the 2 to nearly 3 percent range of value. Confirm the actual most-recent tax bill and any Special Service Area assessment for a specific home rather than relying on a builder estimate.

Your local agent
Joe knows Cedar Creek
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.
