Custom builds on acre lots in Hastings
Hastings has multiple subdivisions, each offering everything from townhomes in The Steeples to custom builds throughout Equestrian Estates. “Large and private, stately homes are abundant throughout Lemont’s country-like settings,” says broker Jill Petranek with Coldwell Banker Realty Naperville. “Equestrian Estates is such neighborhood where one-acre parcels were common during the 1980s.” Hastings features long, narrow roads without sidewalks, adding to the private feel of the community. Driveways are long in communities like Equestrian Estates, highlighting the large front lawns and professionally landscaped gardens. Closer to town, lots are smaller and homes are closer to the road, featuring more ranches and New Traditional houses. Still, roads lack sidewalks to maintain a sense of privacy. Homes here list between $750,000 and $975,000, but townhomes will price closer to $475,000 and $550,000. “Your dollar gets you a little bit more than other suburbs,” Merrion says. “It starts at a quarter acre, but some subdivisions have acre requirements.”
