About the community
A settled, tree-lined family neighborhood in southern Lake in the Hills.
Spring Lake Farms is an established residential subdivision in the southern part of Lake in the Hills, in McHenry County, generally south of Miller Road and near the Boulder Ridge Country Club. The community was established in 1991 and built out primarily through the 1990s, with roughly 268 homes set among mature trees, quiet streets, sidewalks, a bike path, and neighborhood parks. It reads as a settled, family-oriented neighborhood rather than a new-construction or amenity-heavy master-plan, and it sits close to the deep Randall Road retail corridor and the village's lakes and parks.

What it’s actually like to live here
Spring Lake Farms reads as a mature, unpretentious family neighborhood. The homes date to the 1990s and sit on established, tree-lined streets with sidewalks and a bike path, which gives the area a settled, walkable feel that newer subdivisions take decades to grow into. The homeowners association leans social, organizing neighborhood events and maintaining the shared entrance. For day-to-day living, you are minutes from the deep Randall Road retail and dining corridor, a strong village park system with beaches and Sunset Park, and golf right next door at Boulder Ridge.
The upside for the right buyer is value and stability. You get an established McHenry County address, access to lakes, parks, and golf, and a genuine neighborhood feel, generally at a more attainable price point than the newer or lakefront subdivisions elsewhere in the village.
The tradeoffs are honest ones. This is not a new-construction community, so buyers should expect 1990s-era homes that may need updating and should inspect roofs, mechanicals, and windows accordingly. Property taxes, as everywhere in McHenry County, are a real line item and should be underwritten carefully. Commuting to Chicago is very doable but not walk-to-the-train convenient, since the nearest Metra stations are several miles away in Crystal Lake. And because school-district lines and HOA structure differ across the subdivision, pin down the exact schools, dues, and taxes for the specific home you are considering.
The questions buyers actually ask
Spring Lake Farms FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Spring Lake Farms. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- The single-family homeowners association charges minimal, annually billed dues that cover the neighborhood entrance landscaping off Miller Road and support community social events. Attached townhome and condo sections carry their own separate, higher monthly fees for shared exterior and common-area maintenance. Confirm the exact current dues and what they include for the specific property, since the amount depends on whether the home is detached or attached.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $10,000 – $13,000 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 Spring Lake Farms built?
- Sundance Homes (per listing records) built the community between 1991 and 2000. Sundance Homes (per listing records) stopped new construction in 2000, so every sale today is a resale.

Always confirm assignment by address with the district's boundary locator before relying on it.

Your local agent
Joe knows Spring Lake Farms
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.
