    "Very unique homes from the 1800s and early 1900s. One next door was used in a TV sitcom “Grace Under Fire”. Our plat was the third one in the whole city of Elgin. "

  • Susanne H.
    "I live here and over the years have witnessed a renaissance of this area. Elgin is fast becoming a place to watch. Ideally located for those who work in Chicago or in the western suburbs, Elgin has 3 commuter train stops and easy access to areas like Schaumburg and Algonquin. Directly adjacent to I90 and Route 20, as well as Randall and Irving Park road. Elgin offers easy access to the western business corridor and recreation."
