About the community
A settled mid-1990s Cambridge Homes neighborhood in north Mundelein.
Cambridge Country North sits south of West Winchester Road and west of North Midlothian Road on the north side of Mundelein, built by Cambridge Homes across the 1990s with the core going up between roughly 1994 and 1997. It is the northern continuation of the older Cambridge Country pods, and it mixes detached single-family homes with attached duplex pairs inside one subdivision, across 27 documented floor plans. Two things define it: 12-acre Asbury Park with a fishing pond sits on Harrison Avenue inside the neighborhood, and most listings here carry no monthly association dues.

What it’s actually like to live here
Cambridge Country North reads like what it is, a mid-1990s Cambridge Homes neighborhood that has aged into itself. The streets curve rather than grid, the parkway trees have filled in over thirty years, and there is a sidewalk on both sides of most blocks, which is the small design decision that makes a subdivision actually walkable for kids and dog owners. The defining feature is Asbury Park, twelve acres of village parkland with a ball field, a playground, a picnic area, a fishing pond, and a walking path, sitting on Harrison Avenue inside the neighborhood rather than across a highway from it. On the western edge, a run of homes backs to open farmland with no rear neighbors, which is a genuinely scarce condition this close to Route 83.
The product mix is the second thing that makes the neighborhood work. Cambridge built 27 different floor plans here, from roughly 1,400 square foot attached duplex homes up through detached homes near 2,900 square feet, all inside the same subdivision and all typically sold without monthly association dues. That is unusual. It means a young couple buying an attached home on Clarewood can move up to a detached home on Sterling without leaving the neighborhood, the school, or the park, and it means the block does not read as one repeated elevation. Pricing sits in the attainable-to-mid range for central Lake County, which is the whole argument for Mundelein over Libertyville or Vernon Hills next door.
The honest tradeoffs are real. The school district line runs straight through this subdivision, so a buyer who assumes the neighborhood name guarantees a district will get surprised. The train is limited: Mundelein sits on Metra's North Central Service, which runs a handful of trains each way on weekdays and does not run weekends, so a daily downtown commuter should look at the actual schedule before falling in love with the short drive to the station. There is no private clubhouse, pool, or gate here, and recreation comes from the park district rather than the neighborhood. And the homes are around thirty years old, so budget for the systems that come due at that age and read the inspection carefully on any home that has not had the roof, furnace, and water heater turned over.
Market trends
Why this market moves the way it does
Cambridge Country North trades on three things: which side of the school district line the address falls on, whether the home is attached or detached, and how far through the thirty-year update cycle it has been taken. The absence of monthly dues is a quiet but real advantage against comparable attached product elsewhere in Lake County, because it lowers the carrying cost a buyer is underwriting.
What holds value
The fundamentals matter more than the cosmetics here. Buyers want floor plan, lot, and basement, in that order. Cosmetics are the tiebreaker.
- The district line
- Most of the subdivision is Fremont District 79 and the southern tip is Mundelein District 75. Buyers shop the district, so the line matters to demand.
- Attached versus detached
- The same subdivision holds roughly 1,400 sqft duplex homes and detached homes near 2,900 sqft. They are two different markets under one name.
- No monthly dues
- Most listings carry a zero association fee, which lowers carrying cost against comparable attached product that charges one.
- Update cycle
- These are mid-1990s homes. Kitchens, baths, roofs, and mechanicals that have been turned over separate clearly from those that have not.
- West edge lots
- Homes backing to open farmland with no rear neighbors are scarce here and hold a premium over interior lots.
Real talk
Who shouldn’t buy here
Here is the honest version before you tour.
The school district line runs through the neighborhood, and this is the single most common mistake buyers make here. The northern and central majority sits in Fremont District 79. The southern tip, around Andover and the south end of Halifax, sits in Mundelein District 75. Both feed Mundelein High School. Do not take a listing sheet or an aggregator page as the answer. Verify the assignment for the exact address with the district office before you write an offer.
Be realistic about the train. The North Central Service is Metra's lightest line, running a small number of trains each direction on weekdays with no weekend service at Mundelein. It works for a fixed weekday schedule and it does not work for much else. Riders who need frequency or weekend service typically drive to the Milwaukee District North line in Libertyville or Lake Forest instead.
Some listing aggregators tag this subdivision with a clubhouse, pool, spa, and tennis courts. Those are aggregated MLS community-feature tags and they almost certainly reference park district facilities like Barefoot Bay, not private amenities owned by the neighborhood. There is no private clubhouse or pool here. The recreation is genuinely good, but it belongs to the Mundelein Park and Recreation District.
One piece of advice
“This is one of the better value plays in central Lake County: a park with a fishing pond inside the neighborhood, twenty-seven floor plans so you can move up without moving out, and most homes carrying no monthly dues. Two things to verify before you commit. Confirm the elementary district for the exact address, because the line runs through this subdivision, and look hard at the age of the roof, furnace, and water heater on a thirty-year-old home. Get those right and the rest of the neighborhood takes care of itself.”
The questions buyers actually ask
Cambridge Country North FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Cambridge Country North. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Listings in this subdivision typically report no monthly association dues, including on the attached homes, with association fee shown at zero and no fee inclusions. Street maintenance, snow removal on public streets, street lights, and Asbury Park are handled by the Village of Mundelein and the Mundelein Park and Recreation District through property taxes. Because the subdivision was platted in phases, confirm on the specific address.
- When was Cambridge Country North built?
- Cambridge Homes built the community between 1990 and 1998. Cambridge Homes stopped new construction in 1998, 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.
- What schools serve Cambridge Country North?
- This one has a real answer that most listing sites get wrong, because the subdivision is split between two elementary districts. The northern and central majority, including Sterling, Shetland, Liverpool, Clarewood, and most of Harrison, is in Fremont School District 79, which runs Fremont Elementary for K-2, Fremont Intermediate for 3-5, and Fremont Middle for 6-8 on a shared campus a few miles west. The southern tip, around Andover and the south end of Halifax, falls in Mundelein Elementary School District 75, which runs Washington Early Learning Center, Mechanics Grove Elementary, and Carl Sandburg Middle. The entire subdivision, both portions, is in Mundelein Consolidated High School District 120 and feeds Mundelein High School. Because the district line runs through the neighborhood, verify the assignment for your specific address with the district before writing an offer.
- Is there a homeowners association, and what are the dues?
- Listings here typically report no monthly association dues, including on the attached homes, with the association fee shown at zero and no fee inclusions. Street maintenance, snow removal on public streets, street lights, and Asbury Park are handled by the Village of Mundelein and the Mundelein Park and Recreation District through property taxes rather than a private association. Because the subdivision was platted in phases and some phases contain attached product, confirm on the specific address you are considering. If a phase-level agreement applies to a particular building it will show in the seller's disclosures.
- What kinds of homes are in the subdivision?
- Both detached and attached. Cambridge Homes built single-family homes and attached duplex-style homes in the same subdivision across the 1990s, with most of the neighborhood going up in the mid-1990s. Attached plans generally run in the 1,300 to 1,900 square foot range and detached homes generally run from about 1,900 up to just under 3,000 square feet, in 2 to 5 bedroom configurations. Twenty-seven distinct Cambridge floor plans are documented here, including the Carrington, Marlowe, Dunton, Covington, Westchester, Ellington, Creston, and Hartford, so the streetscape has real variety.
- What is Asbury Park and is it actually in the neighborhood?
- Yes, it is on Harrison Avenue inside the subdivision. Asbury Park is a 12-acre Mundelein Park and Recreation District site with a ball field, a playground, a picnic area, fishing, a parking area, and a walking and jogging path. Families here walk to the playground rather than drive to it, which is the practical difference between this neighborhood and a lot of comparable subdivisions. The park district also runs Barefoot Bay Family Aquatic Center about a half mile south, with a lazy river, zero-depth pool, lap lanes, and slides.
- How is the commute, and is there a train?
- Route 83 is about a half mile west, US 45 is about a mile and a quarter east, and Route 60 is about a mile and a half south and is the main run east toward Vernon Hills and the interstate. The Metra station on Archer Avenue is about two and a half miles away on the North Central Service, fare zone 4, with three village-run lots. Be realistic about the schedule: the North Central Service runs a handful of trains each direction on weekdays and does not operate on weekends at Mundelein, so riders who need frequent or weekend service usually drive to the Milwaukee District North line in Libertyville or Lake Forest instead.
- What do homes cost here, and how fast is the market moving?
- Rather than quote a number that goes stale, check the Market snapshot on this page. It pulls live from the MLS and shows current inventory, recent sale activity, and how long homes are taking to sell in Cambridge Country North right now. In broad terms the neighborhood is priced attainably for central Lake County, with the attached homes at the entry end of the range and the larger detached homes with finished basements at the top.

Joe knows Cambridge Country North
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.
