About the community
A settled 1980s community backing to forest preserve in Streamwood.
Surrey Woods is an established 1980s subdivision in Streamwood, in northwest suburban Cook County, just east of Route 59 and bordered by Cook County Forest Preserve land. Built by Anden Corp. over roughly the mid-1980s into about 1990, it is a mix of two-story attached townhomes and detached single-family homes on quiet, tree-lined streets. The signature draw is the setting: the community abuts forest preserve open space and trails and has its own pond and park, which give it a calmer, more open feel than tightly packed infill. It reads as an attainable, well-located neighborhood for the Route 59 corridor rather than a luxury enclave.

What it’s actually like to live here
Surrey Woods appeals to buyers who want a settled, low-drama 1980s neighborhood with real green space at the doorstep. Backing to Cook County Forest Preserve is the standout: residents can step onto trails for walking, running, or biking, and the community's own pond and park give it a calmer, more open feel than tightly packed infill. The mix of attached townhomes and detached homes means it works for a range of buyers, from first-time and move-down buyers drawn to the lower-maintenance townhomes to families who want a modest detached home with bus service in a U-46 attendance area.
It is a car-oriented suburban location with genuinely good commuter options. Route 59, Route 19, and Barrington Road feed I-90 for drivers heading to O'Hare, the Golden Corridor employers, or downtown, while the Bartlett and Hanover Park Metra stations give a rail alternative for Loop commuters who would rather not drive. Everyday shopping is close, and the bigger Schaumburg retail and dining scene is a quick trip southeast.
The honest tradeoffs: these are 1980s homes, so expect era-appropriate systems, layouts, and finishes, and budget for updates and a thorough inspection of roofs, mechanicals, and original kitchens and baths. Cook County property taxes are a real line item and run higher than in many collar-county alternatives, so the monthly cost picture matters as much as the purchase price. Townhome buyers take on monthly dues and shared-decision governance, while detached buyers should confirm whether any association or covenants apply at all.
The questions buyers actually ask
Surrey Woods FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Surrey Woods. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- How much is the HOA?
- Single-family homes are $275 per month.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- The attached-townhome portion of Surrey Woods is governed by a homeowners association, with monthly dues reported recently in roughly the $250 to $300 range. Townhome dues at this vintage typically cover common-area and grounds maintenance, snow removal, and exterior and reserve items. Whether the detached single-family homes carry a separate mandatory association, a voluntary one, or none is not settled online, so confirm the HOA status, dues, and inclusions per address before relying on them.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $6,000 – $10,000 per year, depending on home size and value. Cook County assessor records are the source of truth. Happy to pull a specific bill on any home you're considering.
- When was Surrey Woods built?
- Anden Corp. built the community between 1984 and 1990. Anden Corp. stopped new construction in 1990, so every sale today is a resale.
- 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.
- What kind of homes are in Surrey Woods?
- A mix of 1980s two-story attached townhomes and detached single-family homes built by Anden Corp., generally 2 to 4 bedrooms, with living space from roughly 1,270 up to about 2,500 square feet. Townhomes are private-entry with a one or two-car garage, and some have basements.
- What school district is Surrey Woods in?
- Elgin Area School District U-46, one of the largest districts in Illinois. Likely assigned schools include Glenbrook or Hanover Countryside Elementary, Canton Middle School, and Streamwood High School, but elementary assignment can vary by street, so confirm your exact address with the official U-46 School Locator before relying on it.
- Is there an HOA?
- The townhome portion has a homeowners association with monthly dues, recently reported in roughly the $250 to $300 range, that typically cover grounds, snow removal, and common-area and exterior upkeep. Whether the detached single-family homes carry any mandatory association is not settled online, so verify per address and request the association documents.
- What are the amenities?
- The community borders Cook County Forest Preserve with walking, jogging, and bike trails, and has its own pond and a play area and park maintained by the Streamwood Park District, plus sidewalks and street lights throughout.
- How is the commute?
- Strong for a suburban location. Route 59, Route 19 (Irving Park Road), and Barrington Road connect to I-90 (Jane Addams Tollway) toward O'Hare and Chicago, and the Metra Milwaukee District West line at the nearby Bartlett and Hanover Park stations runs to Chicago Union Station.
- What do homes cost, what are the taxes, and how is the market?
- Prices depend on home type, size, and condition, and the market moves, so check the live Market snapshot on this page for current pricing, inventory, and trend rather than a fixed number. For taxes, suburban Cook County runs an effective rate that varies by town, broadly in the range of roughly 2.0 to 3.0 percent of market value, so confirm the current bill and exemptions with the Cook County Treasurer for the specific parcel.

Your local agent
Joe knows Surrey Woods
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.
