About the community
An upper-tier custom-home neighborhood in northwest Libertyville.
Wineberry is one of Libertyville's premier custom-home communities, set on roughly 137 acres of former farmland in the northwest part of the village in Lake County. It was founded by Koffel Development Group in 1991 with an intentionally open-landscape design, wide parkways, tree-lined streets, and homes built largely without fences, and it built out with large custom homes from the early 1990s into the 2010s and beyond. Two things define it: the scale and quality of the homes, and a walkable, connected layout with a private park, tennis and pickleball courts, and paths that lead straight to Butler Lake and downtown Libertyville. It is a family-oriented, distinctly high-end address for the market.

What it’s actually like to live here
Wineberry lives like a marquee custom-home neighborhood, and it shows on the ground: wide parkways, mature trees, generous lots, and an intentionally open landscape with minimal fencing that gives the streets a parklike, connected feel. The private park, tennis court, and four pickleball courts put recreation a walk from the front door, and the neighborhood paths tie directly into Butler Lake and downtown Libertyville, so residents can reach ball fields, restaurants, and shops on foot rather than by car.
It is built for families who want space and a strong school reputation without giving up walkability to a classic downtown. Commuting to Chicago is workable via Metra's Milwaukee District North line from the Libertyville station or via I-94, though downtown is a genuine distance, so this is a suburban lifestyle first with city access as a scheduled trip rather than a quick hop.
The tradeoffs are the ones common to established luxury subdivisions in high-tax collar counties. Lake County's effective property tax rate is on the higher side, and on large custom homes the annual bill is substantial, so underwrite the effective rate before buying. The housing stock skews large and custom and spans nearly three decades, so age, systems, and updates vary home to home, and the active HOA enforces architectural standards that protect values but govern exterior changes. Tour the specific home and pull its tax history rather than assuming the community is uniform.
The questions buyers actually ask
Wineberry FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Wineberry. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- How much is the HOA?
- Single-family homes are $30 per month.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- The Wineberry Homeowners Association is a mandatory, volunteer-run not-for-profit with relatively modest dues, reported in the low tens of dollars per month. Dues maintain the shared spaces and amenities, fund vendor contracts and community events, and support the architectural standards that keep the open-landscape character intact. Confirm the current assessment and any special assessments with the association for the specific home.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $18,000 – $32,000 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 Wineberry built?
- Koffel Development Group (community founded 1991, custom homes by many builders) built the community between 1992 and 2020. Koffel Development Group (community founded 1991, custom homes by many builders) stopped new construction in 2020, 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 Wineberry?
- Detached custom single-family homes, generally large across sources, on tree-lined streets with wide parkways. The community was designed around a custom, open-landscape aesthetic, originally with cedar roofs and, since a 2024 covenant amendment, high-end composite materials permitted as well.
- Who developed Wineberry and when?
- Per the HOA's own history, the community was founded by Koffel Development Group in 1991 on roughly 137 acres of former farmland, with the goal of creating a premier Libertyville subdivision. Custom homes were built by a range of builders from the early 1990s onward.
- Is there an HOA, and what does it cover?
- Yes. The Wineberry Homeowners Association is a mandatory, volunteer-run not-for-profit with relatively modest dues, reported in the low tens of dollars per month. It maintains common areas and amenities, manages vendor contracts and finances, hosts community events, and enforces architectural standards. Confirm the current amount directly with the association.
- What schools serve Wineberry?
- Libertyville Elementary District 70, whose elementary schools feed Highland Middle School, and Libertyville High School District 128. The specific assigned elementary for a given address is not something to assume, so verify your exact school assignment by street address with District 70 and District 128 before purchasing.
- What amenities does the neighborhood have?
- Paul Neal Park with a shaded playground, a regulation Har-Tru tennis court, four pickleball courts, and walking paths that connect to Butler Lake and downtown Libertyville.
- What do homes cost, what are the taxes, and how is the market?
- Wineberry is upper-tier for Libertyville, with large custom homes. Pricing and availability move with the market, so check the live Market snapshot on this page for current listings, recent sales, and days on market rather than a fixed number. For taxes, Lake County runs a relatively high effective rate, roughly in the 2 percent range of market value, and on large homes the dollar amount is significant, so verify the specific parcel with the Lake County Treasurer.

Your local agent
Joe knows Wineberry
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.
