About the community
A brand-new Lennar master-plan in South Elgin.
Ashbury is a new master-planned community of single-family homes and townhomes by Lennar in South Elgin, on the west side of the village near Lancaster Road. It is organized into two collections, the Medallion Series single-family homes and the Traditional Townhomes, and it is actively selling brand-new construction. The community is planned around open space, a district park, a tot lot, a playground, a pickleball court, and walking trails. It sits in Elgin Area School District U-46 and is minutes from the Randall Road retail corridor, with the Fox River and downtown Elgin close by.

What it’s actually like to live here
Ashbury is built for buyers who want a brand-new home in a planned setting without giving up suburban convenience. Because it is Lennar's Everything's Included product, homes arrive with a defined package of finishes and smart-home features, which simplifies the buying decision for first-time buyers and move-up families alike. The mix of townhomes and larger single-family Medallion plans means the neighborhood draws a range of households, from smaller professionals and downsizers in the townhomes to growing families in the four-bedroom homes.
The location is a genuine strength. The Randall Road corridor puts everyday shopping, groceries, and Advocate Sherman Hospital within minutes, and Randall connects quickly to I-90 for drivers heading toward the airport or the city. Day to day, the community leans on its own park, playground, pickleball court, tot lot, and trail network, with the Fox River and downtown Elgin a short drive for weekend recreation and dining. Commuters have Metra's Milwaukee District West line at the nearby Elgin and Big Timber stations, though this is a car-first area and the train works best for weekday downtown commuters.
The honest tradeoffs are taxes, newness, and rail service. This is Kane County, so property tax rates are high and should be budgeted carefully, especially on the larger single-family homes. As a still-selling community, some streetscapes and amenities may be under construction while you live there, and the mature tree cover of older subdivisions is not here yet. And the Big Timber terminus is weekday-focused, so households expecting frequent weekend rail trips should check the schedule first.
Market trends
Why this market moves the way it does
Ashbury is a new-construction, still-selling Lennar community, so builder base prices and incentives set the market rather than a long resale record. The District U-46 address, the amenity package, and the Randall Road location are the durable demand drivers.
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.
- New construction
- Current Lennar base prices and warranty coverage set the reference the community trades against.
- Two product types
- Townhomes are the entry point and single-family Medallion homes sit higher, which broadens the buyer pool.
- Amenity base
- The park, playground, pickleball court, and trails support value over plainer nearby subdivisions.
- Randall Road location
- Proximity to retail, groceries, a hospital, and I-90 is a repeatable convenience buyers pay for.
- Everything's Included
- A bundled finish package makes new homes easy to compare and simplifies resale positioning later.
Real talk
Who shouldn’t buy here
Here is the honest version before you tour.
Kane County taxes are high, and on the larger single-family homes the annual bill is a significant line item. Watch for any special service area levy specific to the subdivision, and confirm the effective rate and any SSA with the county for the specific parcel.
This is a newer community that is still selling, so you may live alongside construction for a time, and the established, tree-lined feel of an older neighborhood is not here yet. Set expectations for a maturing streetscape.
Do not assume a pool or clubhouse. Lennar's confirmed amenities are the park, playground, pickleball court, trail, tot lot, and district park. Some third-party listings tag a pool or lake that the builder's own amenity list does not show, so verify before you count on it.
One piece of advice
“Ashbury is a solid new-construction option in South Elgin if you want a defined finish package and neighborhood amenities without a custom-build process. Confirm the school assignment by address, since South Elgin is split between U-46 and District 301, budget carefully for Kane County taxes and any special service area, and verify which amenities are actually built before you rely on them.”
The questions buyers actually ask
Ashbury FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Ashbury. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Reported dues run roughly $40 to $185 a month depending on home type, with townhomes typically carrying the higher figure for more exterior and common-area maintenance. Ask Lennar for the recorded HOA declaration and current budget to confirm dues by product type and exactly what is covered.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $11,000 – $15,000 per year, depending on home size and value. Kane County assessor records are the source of truth. Happy to pull a specific bill on any home you're considering.
- When was Ashbury built?
- Lennar built the community between 2023 and 2026.
- 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 builds Ashbury, and is it still selling?
- Ashbury is a Lennar master-planned community in South Elgin, actively selling new single-family homes (the Medallion Series) and townhomes (the Traditional Townhomes). Contact the Lennar Welcome Home Center for current availability.
- What size homes are available?
- Townhomes run roughly 1,700 to 1,850 square feet with 3 bedrooms, and single-family Medallion homes run roughly 2,100 to 3,240 square feet with 3 to 4 bedrooms and 2 to 3.5 baths. Homes are sold at builder base prices under Lennar's Everything's Included program.
- What schools serve Ashbury?
- The area is served by Elgin Area School District U-46, with Fox Meadow Elementary, Kenyon Woods Middle, and South Elgin High School listed as the assigned schools. Because South Elgin is split between U-46 and District 301, confirm the exact assignment for your homesite with the district before relying on it.
- What amenities does the community have?
- Per Lennar, the amenities include a district park, a tot lot, a playground, a pickleball court, and a trail network. Some third-party listings tag a pool or lake, but those are not on the builder's confirmed amenity list, so verify any pool or clubhouse claim before you count on it.
- Is there an HOA and what does it cover?
- Yes. Reported dues run about $40 to $185 a month depending on home type, with townhomes typically carrying the higher figure for more exterior and common-area maintenance. Request the recorded HOA documents and current budget from Lennar to confirm what is covered.
- How is the commute to Chicago?
- South Elgin is roughly 36 miles from downtown Chicago. Metra's Milwaukee District West line serves the nearby Elgin and Big Timber Road stations, and Randall Road connects to I-90 for drivers. Note that Big Timber has limited weekend service, so weekday commuters get the most from the train.

Your local agent
Joe knows Ashbury
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.
