Homes
South Elgin is a great place to live. Both long-term and new residents embrace its ideal location, excellent schools and first-rate recreational opportunities. A diversity of accommodations and lifestyles are offered here; renters, first-time buyers, empty nesters, families and retirees can all find homes appropriate for their needs. Selections range from traditional 100-year-old houses to modern subdivisions and mixed developments.
Many homes overlook the scenic Fox River, and several neighborhoods are within walking distance of new middle schools and high schools. Living space in the charming downtown area is available as well. Townhomes, comfortable single family homes, retirement condominiums and luxury homes are offered in a variety of architectural styles and in a range of prices suitable for any budget.
In 2005, the median price asked for houses and condos was $220,000 while the median gross rent that same year was $765.00. Not surprisingly, South Elgin is the fifth-fastest growing community in Illinois and the fastest growing community (by growth percentage) in Kane County. Property taxes are extremely reasonable, the business sector is strong, and the village’s green, natural surroundings are clean, quiet and peaceful. With such a diverse blend of desirable qualities, South Elgin is an ideal place to call home.
