About the community
An exclusive enclave of custom estate homes on wooded, rolling terrain.
Woods of Fox Glen, often written The Woods of Fox Glen, is an upscale custom-home estate subdivision on the far east side of St. Charles in Kane County, roughly 35 miles west of Chicago. Developer Hank Harrison bought the wooded, rolling site in 1988, routed the streets along the ridges so homes could have walkout basements and long views, broke ground in 1990, and built it out in three phases to 94 residences. The result is a small, tightly held enclave of large one-of-a-kind custom homes on wooded lots, consistently described by area brokers as one of the most exclusive addresses in St. Charles. It borders the equestrian Village of Wayne and adjoins the private St. Charles Country Club, and because it is a finite, low-turnover neighborhood, inventory is characteristically scarce.

What it’s actually like to live here
Woods of Fox Glen is for a buyer who wants privacy, mature trees, and a genuinely custom home rather than a new build in a large, amenity-heavy development. The draw is the land: rolling, wooded acre-plus lots with a creek and pond, real separation between houses, and topography that is rare in the flat Fox Valley. It is a small, close-knit community of 94 households with an active association that runs social events and holds owners to architectural and landscaping standards, so the neighborhood stays well kept.
The setting pairs an upscale, quiet, semi-rural feel, bordering horse-country Wayne and the St. Charles Country Club, with the practical benefits of being inside the city of St. Charles, meaning city water, police and fire, and snow removal. The east-side address is a genuine plus for O'Hare and I-90 commuters, and downtown St. Charles and its riverfront are a few miles west across the Fox River via the Red Gate bridge.
The tradeoffs are honest ones. These are older luxury homes, most built in the 1990s, so even at the top of the market many will show finishes and systems of their era, and buyers should budget for kitchen, bath, and mechanical updates and read the listing for what has already been renovated. Property taxes are high, as they are across Illinois and Kane County, and on homes of this size the dollar amounts are large. Finally, this is a low-inventory neighborhood by design: with only 94 homes that tend to be held for years, buyers often wait for the right one rather than choosing from several at once.
The questions buyers actually ask
Woods of Fox Glen FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Woods of Fox Glen. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- A mandatory homeowners association that maintains recorded covenants and architectural standards and organizes community social events, rather than private roads or recreation. Dues are modest for a luxury subdivision; confirm the current amount and scope with the association.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $18,000 – $55,000 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.
- What's the typical closing timeline?
- 45 to 90 days from accepted offer to keys. Cash deals can close in two weeks. Conventional financing is usually closer to 90.

- It is not gated, but it is a defined subdivision with a mandatory homeowners association that maintains covenants, architectural standards, and social activities. Access is via Red Gate Road on the east side of St. Charles.
- Does it have an HOA, and what does it cover?
- Yes. The association handles recorded covenants and bylaws, architectural review, tree-removal and easement policy, mailbox standards, and community social events. It is a standards-and-community association rather than one that maintains private roads or recreation. Confirm current dues and coverage directly with the association.
- What kind of homes are in Woods of Fox Glen?
- Large custom-built estate homes, mostly from the early 1990s through the early 2000s, on wooded lots generally an acre or more. Each home was individually designed, so no two are alike.
- What schools serve the neighborhood?
- It is in St. Charles Community Unit School District 303. A past neighborhood profile listed Fox Ridge Elementary, Wredling Middle, and St. Charles East High, but boundaries have been revised over time, so confirm the exact assignment by address using the District 303 attendance-boundary tool or by calling the district.
- How is the location for commuting to Chicago or O'Hare?
- The east-side setting gives relatively easy access to I-90 and O'Hare. There is no Metra station in St. Charles; rail commuters typically use Geneva or West Chicago on the Union Pacific West line, or Bartlett on the Milwaukee District West line, into downtown Chicago, about 35 miles east.

Your local agent
Joe knows Woods of Fox Glen
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.
