Walkable northeast Elgin neighborhood with loyal residents
With highway access and a family-friendly atmosphere, Cobblers Crossing is a sought-after area to settle down on the outskirts of Chicago. This northeast Elgin neighborhood was built in the '90s, and many of its original residents still live there today, loyal to their walkable subdivision with sidewalks, ponds and lakes. Neighborhood pride is apparent in the mowed lawns and manicured landscaping. "Once they move there, they don't move out," says Lisa Ellis, Realtor and team leader with Exp Realty. "When a house comes up for sale, it's very sought-after because it's in a nice, family-friendly neighborhood." A lower-than-average CAP Index crime score of 3 out of 10 is one piece of that friendly atmosphere. Chicago commuters can easily hop on Interstate 90 for a 39-mile trip into the city.
New Traditional homes with various looks
This is a low-traffic area where winding streets branch off into cul-de-sacs. Most homes were built between 1990 and 2000, with two-car garages and brick and vinyl exteriors. There are a variety of New Traditional looks, including modern Colonial and ranch styles. Many have updated interiors with granite kitchen countertops and stainless steel appliances. "There is a nice combination of all different kinds of homes," Ellis says. "It's not a cookie-cutter area." Properties are rarely on the market, but they can sell for between $375,000 and $467,000. Two-bedroom townhouses spread across the neighborhood's south side, and range between between $212,000 and $310,000.
