Homes in Algonquin

Algonquin has a mix of older and newer homes. Much of the building happened in the 1990s, when the town was much less populated, and that is when many of its subdivisions began. New construction is still going up, and there are plenty of townhomes too. Algonquin has over 30,000 residents.

Because Algonquin is a little farther north from Chicago, in my experience you often get more square footage for the money than closer in.

Getting around and what's nearby

Randall Road is the main road, and everything you need is off of it, including Algonquin Commons, a popular shopping area. Downtown had a makeover in the last couple of years. The Fox River runs through town, and there are lots of bike and walking trails.

Interstate 90 is just down Randall Road. It's about a 45-minute drive to O'Hare and a little over an hour to downtown Chicago, depending on traffic.
