About the community
An established, family-first Cambridge Homes neighborhood in Mundelein.
Cambridge Country is an established subdivision on the west and southwest side of Mundelein in Lake County, just west of Midlothian Road and south of Hawley Street near Diamond Lake. Built by Cambridge Homes, a high-volume Chicago-area production builder, largely from the late 1980s through the 1990s, it is a mature, tree-lined, family-oriented neighborhood of roughly 650 homes with sidewalks, quiet interior streets, and a community park with a stocked fishing pond at its center. The floor-plan catalog is large, spanning compact plans up to four-bedroom homes, so buyers get real variety within one neighborhood. Two practical notes for buyers: Mundelein spans several elementary districts, so school assignment varies by address, and Lake County property taxes run high.

What it’s actually like to live here
Cambridge Country is the kind of neighborhood people buy into for practical, everyday family life rather than for prestige. The streets are quiet and interior, the homes are established Cambridge plans from the 1980s and 1990s, and the built-in community park gives residents a walkable destination with a stocked fishing pond, a paved loop trail, and a playground. The Regent Center at the park adds programming for older adults, so the neighborhood serves a genuine mix of young families and long-term owners aging in place, with Diamond Lake, Countryside Golf Club, and the park district's broader trail network close by.
Location is a real strength. Residents are minutes from Routes 60 and 83, close to the Route 60 retail corridor with big-box shopping and groceries, near a revitalizing downtown Mundelein, and within an easy drive of Advocate Condell, the county's Level I trauma center. For commuters, the Mundelein Metra station is downtown.
The honest tradeoffs are transit limits, taxes, and school-boundary care. The North Central Service Metra line runs weekdays only with limited frequency, so it works for a standard nine-to-five commuter but not for weekend travel, and many residents still drive to I-94. Lake County property taxes run high, so a buyer should underwrite the tax line carefully. And because the subdivision sits near a school-district boundary, two similar homes a few blocks apart can feed different elementary and middle schools, so families should confirm assignment before falling for a specific house. The homes also average more than 30 years old, so condition and updates vary property to property.
The questions buyers actually ask
Cambridge Country FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Cambridge Country. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- A single mandatory HOA fee for the whole subdivision could not be verified from a primary source. Listing feature tags for the community reference amenities consistent with some form of association or master maintenance, and attached or condo units in the broader community almost certainly carry monthly assessments, while detached single-family homes may have low or no mandatory dues. Confirm HOA status, dues, and coverage on a per-property basis through the seller's disclosure and the listing.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $7,000 – $13,000 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 Cambridge Country built?
- Cambridge Homes built the community between 1987 and 1997. Cambridge Homes stopped new construction in 1997, 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.
- Where is Cambridge Country and who built it?
- It is on the west and southwest side of Mundelein in Lake County, ZIP 60060, just west of Midlothian Road and south of Hawley Street near Diamond Lake. It was built by Cambridge Homes, predominantly from the late 1980s through the 1990s. Confirm the exact year built on any specific listing.
- What schools will my children attend?
- High school is Mundelein High School District 120. Elementary and middle school assignment varies by address within the subdivision, between Fremont District 79 and Mundelein District 75. Confirm the assigned schools for the exact home with the district office before relying on it.
- Is there an HOA and what does it cost?
- This needs to be confirmed per property. The community shows amenity features consistent with an association, and attached or condo units typically carry monthly assessments, but a single mandatory dues schedule for the whole subdivision could not be verified. Check the seller's disclosure and the listing for the specific home.
- What is there to do in the neighborhood?
- Cambridge Country Park offers a stocked fishing pond, a paved loop trail, and a playground inside the community, plus the Regent Center for adults 50 and up. Countryside Golf Club, Diamond Lake, downtown Mundelein events, and the Route 60 shopping corridor are all close.
- How is the commute to Chicago?
- The Mundelein station on Metra's North Central Service line runs to Chicago Union Station, though on weekdays only with limited frequency, so it suits a standard downtown commute. Many residents also drive to the Tri-State Tollway (I-94) to the east via Routes 60 and 176.
- What do homes cost and how is the market?
- Cambridge Country is one of Mundelein's more attainable, mainstream family neighborhoods, positioned in the mid-market for the village. Pricing depends on the floor plan and size, so for current values and inventory see the live Market snapshot on this page, which pulls directly from the MLS.

Your local agent
Joe knows Cambridge Country
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.
