About the community
Brand-new Lennar single-family homes in Shorewood.
Auburn Chase is a new-construction, master-planned single-family community on the south side of Seil Road in Shorewood, in Will County. The builder is Lennar, and the Village of Shorewood documents the site at roughly 100 acres planned for 277 single-family homes across two collections, with homes delivering new in the 2025 to 2026 cycle. This is a genuine new-construction neighborhood in active buildout rather than an established resale subdivision, planned around outdoor space: two ponds, a large pond park with a scenic lookout, a smaller park, walking trails, a playground, and a private residents-only dog park.

What it’s actually like to live here
Auburn Chase is built for buyers who want a brand-new home in a low-maintenance, outdoors-oriented setting. The community's identity leans on green space rather than a big clubhouse: two ponds, a large pond park with a scenic lookout, a four-acre park, walking paths, a playground, and a private dog park all sit inside the neighborhood, and Hammel Woods with the DuPage River Trail is close for longer hikes, paddling, and biking. For families, the pull is a package that pairs new single-family construction at attainable Will County pricing with well-regarded Minooka-area schools and quick access to I-55 and Route 59 shopping.
The honest tradeoffs are the ones common to any community still under construction. For the next few years, residents will live alongside an active jobsite, with intermittent construction traffic and noise as Lennar completes the remaining homesites. Landscaping and street trees will be young, so the neighborhood will not have the mature canopy of an older Shorewood subdivision until plantings fill in, and some parks and pond features may still be getting finished as early residents move in.
The upside of buying into a build-out community is that everything is new and under warranty, floor plans and finishes can be selected rather than inherited, and buyers get in before the neighborhood fully matures. For commuters, the location balances a quieter, newer residential feel with realistic access to Joliet employment and the I-55 and I-80 corridors. One caveat specific to new construction: the first tax assessment can lag actual value, then reset upward once the home is fully on the tax roll, so do not assume an early tax figure reflects the stabilized bill.
The questions buyers actually ask
Auburn Chase FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Auburn Chase. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Auburn Chase is a new-build community with a homeowners association. Because the neighborhood is still in active buildout, specific dues are not published on the builder or village overview pages, and in a community like this the assessment typically ties to the ponds, parks, trails, and dog park plus common-area and stormwater upkeep. Confirm the current dues and exactly what they cover with Lennar's Welcome Home Center or the governing documents at contract.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $7,000 – $13,000 per year, depending on home size and value. Will County assessor records are the source of truth. Happy to pull a specific bill on any home you're considering.
- When was Auburn Chase built?
- Lennar built the community between 2025 and 2026.
- What's the typical closing timeline?
- 30 to 90 days from accepted offer to keys. Cash deals can close in two weeks. Conventional financing is usually closer to 90.
- Who is building Auburn Chase and is it really new construction?
- Yes. Auburn Chase is a new-construction community built by Lennar. It is a master-planned single-family neighborhood in Shorewood that is actively selling and still building out through the 2025 to 2026 cycle, so homes are brand new.
- What kinds of homes are offered?
- New single-family detached homes in two collections: a smaller-lot Core series that starts with a compact ranch, and a larger-lot Horizon series up to roughly 2,600 square feet with four-bedroom two-story plans. All homes include basements and are built under Lennar's Everything's Included standard-features program.
- What do homes cost, and how is the market right now?
- Because this is active new construction with pricing and incentives that change often, the most accurate answer is the live Market snapshot on this page alongside Lennar's current availability. Rather than quoting a figure that goes stale, check those live sources for current prices and what is available.
- What schools would my kids attend?
- Per the builder, Auburn Chase is zoned to Minooka CCSD 201 (Walnut Trails Elementary, Minooka Intermediate, Minooka Junior High) and Minooka Community High School District 111. Shorewood is split among several districts, so confirm the exact assignment for your specific homesite with the district before you rely on it.
- What amenities does the community have?
- On-site you get two ponds, a large pond park with a scenic lookout, a four-acre park, walking paths and trails, a playground, and a private residents-only dog park. Nearby, Hammel Woods forest preserve and the paved DuPage River Trail add hiking, biking, paddling, and fishing.
- How is the commute and what is nearby?
- The community has quick access to I-55 and I-80 and the Route 59 corridor, with Shorewood Towne Center and Joliet shopping close by.

Your local agent
Joe knows Auburn Chase
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.
