About the community
New, low-maintenance D.R. Horton townhomes on a redeveloped Mundelein site.
The Townes at Oak Creek is a new-construction townhome community by D.R. Horton in Mundelein, in central Lake County, built on the redeveloped former Oak Creek Plaza retail site on Townline Road (Route 60). Planned at roughly 222 townhomes and delivering from 2022 onward, it reads as brand-new throughout, with three-story attached homes, two-car garages, and an open main living level. The pitch is a lock-and-leave lifestyle: the HOA handles the lawn and the snow, so there is no mower and no plow. A new roughly 10-acre public park is planned alongside the community with the Mundelein Park and Recreation District. It suits commuters, first-time buyers, downsizers, and dual-career households who value time over a large yard.

What it’s actually like to live here
The Townes at Oak Creek is built for the buyer who wants brand-new construction and as little weekend upkeep as possible. Because the HOA handles the lawn and the snow, the day-to-day experience is genuinely lock-and-leave, no mower, no plow, no exterior projects eating your Saturdays. That makes it a natural fit for commuters, first-time buyers stepping up from renting, downsizers, and dual-career households who value time over a large yard. The three-story layouts put living space over a two-car garage and add a private primary suite and a flexible lower level.
The location is a quiet strength. This is infill redevelopment of a former retail plaza on a main road, so you are minutes from groceries, shopping, and Routes 60, 83, and 45, with a Metra station in town for car-free trips downtown and O'Hare within reach. Mundelein itself is an established suburb with an extensive park and forest-preserve network, and the planned 10-acre park next door adds green space right at the doorstep.
The honest tradeoffs are real. Three-story townhome living means stairs are part of daily life, which suits some households and not others, and you trade a private yard and detached-home space for convenience. HOA dues and rules come with the maintenance-free lifestyle, so read the governing documents before you buy. Being on a busy arterial brings some traffic and road noise, and the school picture, especially the high school, needs to be confirmed for your exact address before you assume any particular school.
The questions buyers actually ask
The Townes at Oak Creek FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping The Townes at Oak Creek. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- How much is the HOA?
- townhomes and condos are $290 per month.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- As an attached-townhome community there is a mandatory HOA, with dues reported in the high $200s per month.

Confirm the current dues and full coverage, including exterior and insurance responsibilities, in the association documents.

- 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.
- Who is the builder, and is this really new construction?
- Yes. The community is built by D.R. Horton, with townhomes delivering from about 2022 onward. It is a new-construction infill community on the redeveloped former Oak Creek Plaza site.

- What schools would my children attend?
- For elementary and middle school the community is associated with Diamond Lake School District 76 (Diamond Lake Elementary and West Oak Middle). The high school assignment needs confirmation by address, since the builder advertises Stevenson District 125 while Diamond Lake feeds primarily into Mundelein High School in District 120.
- What is townhome living here actually like?
- It is lock-and-leave: the HOA handles lawn care and snow removal, so weekends are not spent on the yard. The tradeoff is stairs in the three-story layouts and shared walls, and a busy arterial location that brings some traffic, in exchange for a new home minutes from shopping and the Metra.
- How is the commute to Chicago?
- The community sits on Route 60 with fast access to Routes 83 and 45. Rail commuters can use the Mundelein station on Metra's North Central Service line for a direct ride to Chicago Union Station, and O'Hare is roughly 35 minutes by car.

Your local agent
Joe knows The Townes at Oak 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.
