About the community
A settled early-1990s single-family neighborhood on West Dundee's west side.
Tartans Glen is an established detached-home subdivision north of Route 72 on the west side of West Dundee, in northern Kane County. Homes were built from the late 1980s into the mid-1990s, so the streets have three decades of mature trees, sidewalks, curbs, and street lights and a quiet, family-oriented feel. A light Scottish theme runs through the streets and model names, from Tartans Drive to models like Aberdeen and Breckenridge. Despite the name, this is not a golf community: the nearby Randall Oaks course is a public Dundee Township Park District course, not a club tied to the homes.

What it’s actually like to live here
Tartans Glen suits buyers who want a settled, walkable, single-family neighborhood at a more attainable West Dundee price than the town's newest developments. The streets are quiet and sidewalk-lined, the housing stock is consistent early-1990s suburban, and the trees and yards have had three decades to fill in. The Dundee Township Park District does much of the heavy lifting on recreation nearby, from the Randall Oaks golf and zoo complex to seasonal community events, so residents get amenity access without heavy private-association overhead.
Location is a genuine strength. You are minutes from Route 31, Route 72, and I-90, with Metra's Big Timber Road line and Advocate Sherman Hospital both a short drive away, which keeps commuting and errands manageable in every direction. West Dundee's historic downtown along the Fox River adds character that the newer subdivisions farther out do not have.
The honest tradeoffs are the ones you expect from homes of this era: some will want kitchen, bath, or mechanical updates, and floor plans reflect early-1990s tastes more than today's open-concept norm. Kane County property taxes are meaningful and should be built into any budget. The empty Spring Hill Mall site nearby is a real redevelopment opportunity, but it is early-stage and could take years, so weigh it as future potential, not a current feature. And because HOA status and high-school assignment can both vary here, confirm those two items for the specific address before writing an offer.
The questions buyers actually ask
Tartans Glen FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Tartans Glen. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $7,000 – $11,000 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 Tartans Glen built?
- The Anden Group (per real-estate records; confirm on the home's plat) built the community between 1988 and 1994. The Anden Group (per real-estate records; confirm on the home's plat) stopped new construction in 1994, 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.
- Is Tartans Glen a golf-course community?
- No. Owning here does not include golf-club membership. Randall Oaks Golf Club, a public Dundee Township Park District course, is nearby off Randall Road, but the homes do not front or belong to it. The Scottish Tartans theme is in the naming, not a club affiliation.
- When were the homes built and who built them?
- Most homes date from the late 1980s into the mid-1990s. Real-estate records credit the Anden Group as the developer, but sources disagree on exact years, so treat any single build year as approximate and confirm on the specific home's records.
- Is there an HOA, and what does it cover?
- Most single-family homes here appear to carry little or no mandatory HOA fee, and no dedicated Tartans Glen association portal surfaced in research. Some listings do reference a charge, so this can vary. Confirm HOA status, dues, and coverage for the specific home with the listing agent.
- What schools serve the neighborhood?
- Community Unit School District 300. Commonly listed assignments are Dundee Highlands Elementary, Dundee Middle School, and Jacobs High School. District 300 is large with multiple high schools, and high-school assignment can vary by address, so verify the exact schools with the district for the specific property.
- How is the commute and access to transit?
- Strong. Route 31, Route 72, and I-90 are all close, and Metra's Milwaukee District West line runs from the Big Timber Road station toward downtown Chicago, giving both driving and rail options toward Elgin, Schaumburg, O'Hare, and the city.
- What do homes cost here and how is the market?
- Pricing runs attainable-to-moderate for West Dundee rather than top of the market, and the exact figures move over time. For current list prices, recent sales, and how quickly homes are selling, check the live Market snapshot on this page.

Your local agent
Joe knows Tartans 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.
