About the community
An amenity-rich 1970s townhome and condo community on Wheeling's west side.
Cedar Run is an established community of attached homes on the west side of Wheeling in Cook County, laid out along a series of quiet cul-de-sac courts off Illinois Route 83 (Elmhurst Road) just south of Lake Cook Road. It dates to the first half of the 1970s and has a low-rise, two-story character with mature landscaping and shared interior grounds. The homes are a mix of townhomes and condominiums, and the community is association-managed with a pool, clubhouse, and tennis, which makes it one of the more amenity-rich attainable options in the area.

What it’s actually like to live here
Cedar Run offers one of the more accessible paths to ownership on Wheeling's west side. The appeal is practical: two-story attached homes with modest square footage, an association that handles the grounds and snow, and a package of shared amenities that would be hard to afford on your own at this price point. The cul-de-sac court layout keeps through-traffic out and gives the interior of the community a quiet, neighborly feel, with mature trees and shared green space.
Commuters are well positioned. Route 83 and Milwaukee Avenue put daily errands minutes away, the Wheeling Metra station connects to downtown Chicago on the North Central Service, and Chicago Executive Airport is a short drive. Milwaukee Avenue's restaurant corridor and the Wheeling Town Center add dining and retail close to home, and the northwest suburbs' larger shopping centers are a manageable drive.
The tradeoffs are the ones common to 1970s attached communities. These are older buildings, so buyers should read the reserve study and recent assessment history and budget for mechanical and exterior updates over time. Monthly dues add to the carrying cost, and because Cedar Run spans more than one association and section, the exact dues and what they include vary from unit to unit. Square footage runs on the smaller side, which suits singles, couples, downsizers, and investors more than large families. Cook County effective property tax rates in this area generally run in the range of about 2.2 to 2.5 percent of value.
The questions buyers actually ask
Cedar Run FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Cedar Run. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Cedar Run is association-governed, and because it spans more than one entity (a homeowners corporation plus at least one condominium association), the exact assessment and coverage depend on the specific building and section. Dues typically fund common-area landscaping and grounds, snow removal, exterior and common-area maintenance, on-site management, and the shared amenities. Request the current association budget, reserves, and rules for the specific unit before relying on a figure.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $4,000 – $7,000 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.
- What's the typical closing timeline?
- 30 to 45 days from accepted offer to keys. Cash deals can close in two weeks. Conventional financing is usually closer to 45.

Your local agent
Joe knows Cedar Run
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.
