Townhouses in Sun City Huntley

Sun City Huntley is an active adult development for people aged 55 and older. It is situated northwest of Chicago, near interstate 90 and Illinois route 47. Sun City was originally develped by Del Webb and later homes were built by Pulte. At completion, the subdivision will have over 5500 homes. Sun City is so large that it strattles two counties, Kane County and McHenry County. Amenities at Sun City Huntley include the 94,000 square foot Prairie Lodge complete with indoor pool, ballroom, the Walleye Grill restaurant and a pub. There are meeting rooms and hobby and craft rooms for those interested in increasing skills in art, pottery, and computers, among other interests.

There is also a lake with a fishing pier, two outdoor swimming pools, walking trails around Wildflower Park the Whisper Creek Golf Club, a woodworking shop and softball and tennis facilities.

The first thing people think of at Sun City Huntley are the detached single family homes, but there are also some very attractive ranch style townhouses or villas available. All the homes are a single level, with an attached garage, allowing for easy access. The developer sold the last neighborhood of new construction townhomes last year, but there are a number of resale townhomes on the market at any given time. Currently available townhomes range in price from just under $140,000 to around $225,000.

Generally the prices of the townhouses are lower than those of the detached homes; however, monthly assessments are higher. The reason for this is that, unlike the detached homes, the maintenance fee for the townhouses includes exterior maintenance such as lawn care and snow removal.
