About the community
A mature early-1990s subdivision with its own park, inside Lake Zurich village limits.
Hunters Creek is a single-family subdivision on the east side of Lake Zurich, in Ela Township, Lake County. Its streets include Huntington Drive, Foxmoor Drive and Lane, Eric Lane, William Drive and Court, Riley Court, and Pheasant Ridge Drive, set west of Quentin Road and north of Cuba Road. Town & Country Homes developed and built it in the early 1990s, and the plat is fully built out: curbs and gutters, sidewalks, street lights, curving streets with several cul-de-sacs, and a Village of Lake Zurich park sitting inside the neighborhood rather than a mile away. The trees planted at build-out are now thirty-plus years old, which is the single biggest visual difference between Hunters Creek and newer Lake Zurich construction.
At a glance
Village park inside the neighborhood
Chestnut Corners / Hunters Creek Park at 1235 Pheasant Ridge Drive appears on the Village's official list of rentable athletic fields.
Mature tree canopy
Thirty-plus years of growth since build-out, which softens the streetscape in a way new construction cannot buy.
One unit district, K through 12
Lake Zurich Community Unit School District 95 covers all grades, so families are not navigating a split between elementary and high school districts.
Town & Country floor plans
Traditional two-story and split designs from the early 1990s, commonly four bedrooms, with attached two and three car garages.
Sidewalks that connect
Curb and gutter, street lights, and a continuous sidewalk network throughout the plat.
Village beaches on Lake Zurich
Paulus Park and Breezewald Park offer village beach access, playgrounds, fishing piers, and courts. Beach passes and fees differ by park.
No reported HOA assessment
Listing data reports no monthly or annual association fee, though recorded covenants should still be checked on the specific parcel.

What it’s actually like to live here
Hunters Creek is what a well-executed early-1990s Chicago-suburb subdivision looks like once it grows up. The plat is self-contained: you turn in off Quentin or Cuba, the streets curve and dead-end rather than cut through, and there is a village park with ball fields and playground space sitting inside the neighborhood. Day to day that translates into the ordinary suburban things people actually want, kids on bikes on sidewalks that connect, a park you can walk to, and neighbors who have been there long enough to know each other.
The location is the strongest single argument for the neighborhood. You are inside village limits, so you get Lake Zurich police and fire, village parks and beach access on the lake itself, and the Ela Area Public Library District. Rand Road handles groceries and errands, Deer Park Town Center handles the bigger shopping trip, and Advocate Good Shepherd in Barrington answers the emergency room question that most brochures skip. Schools are District 95 across all grades, a unit district running a single high school.
The tradeoffs are real and worth naming. There is no Metra station in Lake Zurich and there is not going to be one, so a downtown commute starts with a drive to Barrington and a parking spot. The houses are all the same age, and that age is now in the window where roofs, furnaces, air conditioners, windows, and kitchens come due, so condition drives the spread between two otherwise identical floor plans more than location does. The plans are also of their era, which usually means a formal living room and dining room rather than one open great room, so buyers coming from new construction should look carefully at how the kitchen and family room relate. And Lake County property taxes are high, which no amount of neighborhood charm changes.
The questions buyers actually ask
Hunters Creek FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Hunters Creek. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- No mandatory monthly or annual assessment is reported for Hunters Creek, and no active association website or management company could be identified. That is not the same as no covenants: subdivisions platted in this era commonly carry a recorded Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions even where dues are nominal or dormant. Pull the recorded plat and declaration from the Lake County Recorder of Deeds and confirm the association fields on the specific listing before you write an offer.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $13,000 – $20,000 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 Hunters Creek built?
- Town & Country Homes built the community between 1990 and 1993. Town & Country Homes stopped new construction in 1993, so every sale today is a resale.
- 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.
- Does Hunters Creek have a homeowners association, and what are the dues?
- Public listing data for the subdivision reports no monthly or annual association assessment, and no active HOA website or management company for this Lake Zurich neighborhood could be identified. That said, subdivisions platted in this era commonly carry recorded covenants and restrictions even when dues are nominal or inactive, so we pull the recorded declaration and confirm the association fields on the specific listing before you write an offer. If a dues obligation or an architectural review requirement exists for a particular home, it shows up there.
- Which schools serve Hunters Creek?
- The neighborhood is in Lake Zurich Community Unit School District 95, confirmed against Lake County's own district boundary data. District 95 is a K-12 unit district and Lake Zurich High School is its only high school, so the high school assignment is effectively certain. The specific elementary and middle school depends on your exact address, and the district states plainly that its online lookup map does not guarantee an assignment. Confirm the assignment for the specific address with District 95 before you commit.
- Who built Hunters Creek and when?
- Town & Country Homes developed the subdivision and built it out in the early 1990s, with the bulk of the homes finished between roughly 1990 and 1993. Documented model names offered here include Bridlewood, Foxdale, Middlefork, Whytebridge, Lakefield, and Saddlebrook, most configured with four bedrooms. Expect production construction of that period: attached two and three car garages, full basements common for the era, and the formal living room plus dining room layout convention rather than a fully open plan.
- Are there parks, and can residents use the lake?
- Yes on both. Chestnut Corners / Hunters Creek Park at 1235 Pheasant Ridge Drive sits inside the subdivision and is a Village of Lake Zurich park with rentable athletic fields. Beyond that, the Village Parks and Recreation Department, which handles parks directly since there is no separate park district, oversees roughly 247 acres across about 32 parks. Lake access is at Paulus Park, which has a beach, bath house, sprayground, playground, sand volleyball, bocce and horseshoe courts, and a fishing pier, and at Breezewald Park, which has a second beach. Passes and daily fees differ between the two.
- What is the commute like, and is there a train?
- Lake Zurich does not have a Metra station. Downtown commuters typically drive about six miles to the Barrington station on the Union Pacific Northwest line, which runs to Ogilvie Transportation Center and has the more frequent schedule of the two nearby options. The Buffalo Grove station on the North Central Service, which runs to Union Station, is roughly eight miles southeast but has far fewer trains. For driving, Rand Road and Route 22 are the main arteries, Route 53 ends a few miles south at Lake-Cook Road, and O'Hare is roughly twenty miles southeast.
- What do homes cost, and how high are the property taxes?
- Hunters Creek sits in the upper-middle tier of the Lake Zurich detached market, above the village's older ranch inventory and below new construction and the custom enclaves in Kildeer and North Barrington. Condition is the biggest swing factor between two identical floor plans. For current pricing, check the Market snapshot on this page, which pulls live from the MLS. On taxes, the neighborhood's Lake County tax code carries a composite rate around 7.26 percent of equalized assessed value, which works out to an approximate effective rate of roughly 2.2 to 2.5 percent of the assessor's market value before exemptions.

Your local agent
Joe knows Hunters 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.
