About the community
New Lennar townhomes beside Huffman Park in West Dundee.
Hickory Glen is a new-construction townhome community built by Lennar on the north side of Huntley Road in West Dundee, near the former Spring Hill Mall site. The village approved 111 townhomes on about 19 acres in 2024, and the community is actively selling with early move-ins in 2025 and construction continuing into 2026. Lennar offers two three-bedroom plans here, the Marianne and the Charlotte, each with two-and-a-half baths and a front-facing two-car garage, built under the Everything's Included program. It is a compact, low-maintenance enclave positioned between historic downtown West Dundee and the Randall Road retail corridor, with Huffman Park right next door.

What it’s actually like to live here
Hickory Glen is built for buyers who want new construction and a lock-and-leave lifestyle without the price tag or upkeep of a detached home. The two Lennar plans are three-bedroom townhomes with attached two-car garages and bundled Everything's Included features, which makes the buying process simpler and the monthly picture more predictable, since the association handles much of the exterior maintenance. The location is genuinely convenient: Huffman Park's ballfields, courts, and skate park are literally next door, downtown West Dundee's Riverwalk and seasonal events are a few minutes east, and the full Randall Road retail corridor and Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin are a short drive west.
The honest tradeoffs are worth naming. This is townhome living, so you share walls, you trade a private yard for shared open space, and you pay a monthly HOA assessment on top of the mortgage and Kane County's relatively high property taxes. It is not a detached single-family neighborhood, and it is not a large amenity-rich master plan with its own clubhouse or pool; the amenities are the adjacent public park and the nearby retail corridor rather than private community facilities. The Randall Road corridor that makes daily errands so easy is also busy and commercial, so proximity to shopping comes with traffic and a suburban-arterial feel.
Finally, this is a young, still-selling community. Buying early means living alongside ongoing construction for a period, and the resale track record is thin because the neighborhood is new. The upside is a brand-new home with warranty coverage, current finishes, and energy-efficient construction in an established, well-run village with a walkable historic downtown nearby. For a first-time buyer, a downsizer, or a commuter who values convenience and low maintenance over land, it is a sensible fit; for a buyer set on a big yard or a resale-proven neighborhood, it is not.
Market trends
Why this market moves the way it does
Hickory Glen trades as a new-construction townhome community, so Lennar sets pricing and incentives and early resales compete against brand-new inventory. With only two plans and one product type, comparisons are clean, but buyers should weigh plan, lot position, and how far along the build-out is.
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.
- Builder sets the comp
- With Lennar still selling, resales compete against brand-new homes and current incentives, so pricing has to account for that.
- Plan and size
- The Marianne and the larger Charlotte carry different price points, so compare like for like.
- Lot position
- Units next to Huffman Park or backing to open space carry appeal over interior locations.
- Low-maintenance draw
- The lock-and-leave format and Everything's Included finishes are a durable draw for first-time buyers and downsizers.
- Location convenience
- Proximity to the Randall Road corridor, I-90, and the adjacent park supports demand, balanced against the busy commercial surroundings.
Real talk
Who shouldn’t buy here
Here is the honest version before you tour.
You are buying in a community that is still selling and building. Buying early means living near active construction for a period, and the resale track record is thin because the neighborhood is new.
Kane County property taxes run relatively high, and a new home's first-year bill can be based on a partial or land-only assessment and then climb once the home is fully assessed. Verify the parcel's assessed value and levy with the county rather than relying on a builder estimate.
Confirm the high school before you fall for a floor plan. Lennar's listing names one high school while the district's feeder information for this area references another, so run the exact address through the District 300 school locator, and remember this is townhome living next to a busy retail corridor, not a detached home on a quiet street.
One piece of advice
“Hickory Glen is a clean way to buy a brand-new, low-maintenance townhome in a well-run village with a park next door and the Randall Road corridor minutes away. Confirm the current HOA dues and what they cover, verify the assigned high school by address given the Jacobs versus Dundee-Crown question, and budget for Kane County taxes. Do that and it is a sensible new-construction buy for the right household.”
The questions buyers actually ask

Your local agent
Joe knows Hickory 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.
