About the community
Custom homes on wooded acreage in an affluent Lake County village.
Farmington is an established, upper-tier single-family neighborhood in the Village of Kildeer, in southwestern Lake County. Per the village, the subdivision was developed between 1961 and 1968 by Arthur T. McIntosh as a 194-lot, single-family community, and it sits north of Long Grove Road and east of Quentin Road. The character is mature and private: large custom and semi-custom homes on wooded parcels, generally in the one to three acre range, along quiet, low-density streets. Because the neighborhood has seen ongoing teardown-and-rebuild over the decades, home vintages run from the mid-1960s through the 2000s.

What it’s actually like to live here
Farmington is for buyers who want space and quiet inside an affluent, low-key village. The signature is the land: wooded, generally one to three acre lots that give homes real separation, mature tree cover, and a semi-rural feel that is increasingly rare this close to the northwest suburbs' retail and job centers. Because the subdivision was platted in the 1960s and has been steadily updated through teardown-rebuilds, the streetscape mixes well-kept original homes with larger newer customs, so buyers can find both established character and turnkey square footage depending on the parcel.
Day to day, the location works hard. Deer Park Town Center and the Rand Road corridor put upscale shopping, dining, and groceries within a few minutes, yet the neighborhood itself stays residential and unhurried. Access to Lake County forest preserve open space and the broader Lake Zurich and Long Grove recreation belt suits households that value the outdoors. For families, the Lake Zurich District 95 schools are a genuine draw.
The honest tradeoffs: property taxes are high, consistent with affluent Lake County, and acreage ownership means more maintenance from larger yards to longer driveways, with well and septic common on older Kildeer parcels, so confirm utilities per home. There is no train station in the village, so rail commuters drive to a park-and-ride, and this is a car-dependent, spread-out setting rather than a walkable one. The value here is the lot and the location, not a clubhouse or pool.
The questions buyers actually ask
Farmington FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Farmington. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $15,000 – $25,000 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 Farmington built?
- Arthur T. McIntosh built the community between 1965 and 2009. Arthur T. McIntosh stopped new construction in 2009, 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 Farmington?
- Detached single-family homes on large, generally one to three acre wooded lots. Most are custom or semi-custom, commonly 3 to 5 bedrooms, with a wide range of vintages because the 1960s-platted neighborhood has been updated through custom rebuilds over the years.
- What schools serve Farmington?
- Farmington is in Lake Zurich Community Unit School District 95, a K-12 district, and feeds Lake Zurich High School per Village of Kildeer records. Note that Farmington does not feed Stevenson High School, unlike some other Kildeer subdivisions. Confirm the exact elementary boundary with District 95 for a specific address.
- Is there an HOA, and what does it cost?
- There is no mandatory master HOA on record, and the association fee is generally listed as none. A small nominal fee appears on some individual listings, so confirm per property. Do not expect an HOA-funded amenity package.
- How is the commute and access to shopping?
- The neighborhood sits off Long Grove and Quentin Roads with quick access to US Route 12 (Rand Road) and Lake-Cook Road. Deer Park Town Center is minutes away. There is no Metra station in Kildeer, so rail commuters drive to nearby stations such as Lake-Cook Road or the North Central Service stops in the Buffalo Grove and Prairie View area.
- How big are the lots?
- Lots are large, generally in the one to three acre range, which is consistent with Kildeer's low-density, wooded-lot pattern and gives homes significant privacy and separation.
- What do homes cost and how is the market right now?
- Farmington is an upper-tier Kildeer community and homes here tend to sit at the higher end for the village. Rather than a static figure, check the live Market snapshot on this page for the current median price, active listings, and days on market, which update from the MLS.

Your local agent
Joe knows Farmington
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.
