Chatham Grove

Independent Assessment

Chatham Grove's core facts -- 96 attached homes, a 2000-2007 build-out, and a small clubhouse with a party room -- are consistent across the sources reviewed. The one notable gap is builder attribution: despite specifically searching for Chatham Grove's original builder, no source (aggregator, brokerage, or otherwise) naming the company that developed the community was found, and at least one aggregator source explicitly notes that its own records do not identify the original builder. This is reported as 'not publicly confirmed' rather than inferred or guessed.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want a small, established, all-townhome active-adult community with modest HOA fees and a simple, low-maintenance product will find Chatham Grove appealing, particularly those who prioritize proximity to everyday retail (a Menards, Sam's Club, JCPenney, and Walgreens are reported within a few minutes) over a large amenity center.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Chatham Grove was built between 2000 and 2007. A targeted effort to identify the original builder did not locate a confirming source; it is reported here as not publicly confirmed. The community comprises 96 attached townhomes ranging from roughly 1,268 to 2,011 (or, per another source, 1,293 to 2,011) square feet, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an attached two-car garage; some units feature wet bars in finished basements, first-floor master suites, and flex rooms usable as a study or extra bedroom.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Recent secondary-source listings show Chatham Grove resale pricing in the roughly $291,000-$389,900 range, with average condo/townhome listings around the mid-$300,000s. Buyers should confirm current comparable sales from a local agent.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Chatham Grove is a fully built-out, resale-only community; there is no active new-construction inventory or builder sales office. Buyers should budget for the age of homes built between 2000 and 2007 and request a home inspection and HOA reserve study before purchasing.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes at Chatham Grove are subject to Kane County and Aurora-area property tax administration. No independently confirmed current effective property tax rate for the specific parcels within the community was found; buyers should confirm exact current figures with the Kane County Supervisor of Assessments and Treasurer.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Chatham Grove is a compact, all-townhome community centered on a small clubhouse with a party room and a small pond with a patio area for residents to gather. Its modest amenity footprint reflects its smaller, 96-home scale.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Chatham Grove is located in Aurora, Kane County, off Ogden and Farnsworth Avenues. Nearby retail reported within a few minutes includes Menards, Sam's Club, JCPenney, and Walgreens, and the Philips Park Zoo is reported roughly five minutes away, with a 15-minute drive to downtown Aurora.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Chatham Grove is consistently marketed as an active-adult 55+ community across independent real-estate aggregator listings. No primary source (recorded declaration or HOA governing document) confirming a legally recorded age restriction was found. Buyers who require a legally enforceable age restriction should independently confirm the community's recorded governing documents with the Kane County Recorder or the HOA before purchasing.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Buyers should independently confirm whether Chatham Grove carries a legally recorded age restriction before assuming it functions as a deed-restricted community; only consistent marketing-level '55+ community' language was found, not a primary legal source. Chatham Grove's original builder also could not be identified despite targeted searching, which may limit a buyer's ability to research the community's original construction quality, warranty history, or known issues associated with a specific builder. As a small (96-home), fully built-out resale community with a modest clubhouse, buyers wanting extensive on-site amenities should look elsewhere.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Chatham Grove (96 homes) is smaller than both Carillon at Stonegate and Stonegate West (336 homes each), and offers an all-townhome product versus their single-family or mixed housing stock. Buyers who want the smallest, most intimate community with modest HOA fees will likely prefer Chatham Grove; buyers wanting a larger clubhouse and amenity program will likely prefer Carillon at Stonegate or Stonegate West.
