Although the sales office isn't open yet, Hoffman Estates-based Lakewood Homes says it already has 300 prospective buyers on a waiting list for this subdivision. Until the Lakewood models open in June, buyers can check out those at the similar Lakewood Falls in Plainfield. Lakewood Creek will have 413 single-family homes with 1,157 to 2,713 square feet and 322 multifamily units from 924 to 1,623 square feet. Southeast of Lakewood is the new Blackberry Crossing, formerly the 80-acre Flanders family farm. Its developer, Wyndham Deerpoint Homes in North Aurora, is drafting plans for the village's approval.
Specifics are still subject to the village's approval.
Just west of that, also on Illinois 30, is the 142-acre Simpson property, acquired last year by Kennedy Homes in East Dundee and renamed Fairfield Way. Sales don't begin until April for the 342 houses and 104 town homes that will be built here. In the meantime, prospective buyers can check out models at Kennedy's Wheatlands in Aurora. West of the Kennedy development is a 400-acre farm, recently purchased by Neumann Homes in Warrenville. Neumann will announce its plans for this property within the next few months.
