Tudors and split levels along curved roads
One of the distinguishing features of West Schaumburg is how the streets curve around parks and ponds, providing a different experience from the typical grid layout. Prices for homes are generally between $190,000 and $532,000 that were built around the 1970s and 1980s. The lower end of the scale is for one and two-bedroom condos and townhouses, and more expensive homes in the neighborhood are often three- and four-bedroom Tudor style, ranch style, and split-level homes in various earthy colors. Across the entire neighborhood there is a classic suburban experience, with attached garages, quarter-acre lots, and streets with sidewalks.

Barrington Road and I-90
