Wentworth of Kildeer

Independent Assessment

Independent secondary directories -- including 55places and retirenet -- consistently categorize Wentworth of Kildeer as a 55+ active adult community, and the 54-home count, 27-acre size, and 2020-2022 construction window are corroborated across NewHomeSource and local news coverage (Patch) of the M/I Homes groundbreaking. M/I Homes' recorded declaration of covenants for the Kildeer parcel was not independently reviewed, so the precise occupancy rule was not confirmed firsthand. On the golf-adjacency question, the community is described only as being 'along the edge of' or 'adjacent to' Kemper Lakes Golf Club, with no source indicating that golf-club access or membership is bundled with a home purchase, so it is not presented as a golf community and no golf-amenity claim is made.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want new-ish (2020-2022), all-ranch construction with genuine golf-course views -- without necessarily wanting or paying for golf-club membership -- are likely to find Wentworth of Kildeer appealing, particularly those drawn to its low-maintenance model (landscaping, lawn care, and snow removal all handled by the association) and its Lake County location roughly an hour from downtown Chicago and about 30 minutes from O'Hare per secondary reporting.

Homes, Builders & Development History

M/I Homes built Wentworth of Kildeer beginning in 2019/2020, developing 54 luxury single-family ranch homes on a 27-acre site north of Route 22 on Old McHenry Road, adjacent to Kemper Lakes Golf Club. Homes range from roughly 1,836 to 3,000 square feet, with features including spacious primary suites, full basements, and an optional second story on some plans.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

A current, publicly confirmed pricing range for Wentworth of Kildeer was not found. As a largely or fully built-out community, current pricing will depend on the resale market; buyers should contact a local agent for current listings and recent sold comparables.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Wentworth of Kildeer was built out between 2020 and 2022 and appears to be at or near full build-out as of the most recent review; buyers should confirm with a local agent or M/I Homes whether any new-construction inventory remains or whether purchases are now exclusively resale.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes at Wentworth of Kildeer are subject to Lake County and Kildeer property tax administration; Lake County is reported by secondary sources as having some of the higher effective property tax rates in the Chicago metro, though a specific current rate for these parcels was not independently confirmed. Buyers should confirm exact current figures with the Lake County Assessor's office.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Wentworth of Kildeer is a compact, 27-acre neighborhood of 54 all-ranch homes, several with basements and some with an optional second story. Its defining lifestyle feature is its setting along the edge of Kemper Lakes Golf Club, giving many homes course views, combined with a low-maintenance model in which landscaping, lawn care, and snow removal are handled by the association. No evidence of an on-site clubhouse or dedicated community amenity center distinct from the golf-course setting itself was found.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Wentworth of Kildeer sits north of Route 22 on Old McHenry Road in Kildeer, Lake County. Secondary reporting places it roughly an hour from downtown Chicago and about 30 minutes from O'Hare International Airport; these specific drive times were not independently verified.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Wentworth of Kildeer is consistently categorized by independent secondary directories as a 55+ active adult community. Confirm the precise occupancy rule and any exceptions before relying on it, since M/I Homes' recorded declaration of covenants for the Kildeer parcel was not independently reviewed. Buyers should confirm current age-verification requirements directly with the HOA or a local agent, particularly since this was flagged as a candidate warranting independent restriction verification given its golf-course-adjacent setting.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

As a small, 54-home neighborhood built out over just a few years, Wentworth of Kildeer offers limited long-term resale inventory turnover compared with larger communities. A current, complete HOA fee figure (only a secondary-sourced starting figure of around $219/month was found), current resale pricing, and the community's exact recorded age-restriction language were not confirmed; all should be verified directly with a local agent or the HOA. Buyers specifically interested in golf-club membership or access should independently confirm with Kemper Lakes Golf Club whether any arrangement exists for Wentworth residents, since no evidence either way was found beyond course-adjacency.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Within the Lake/McHenry corridor, Wentworth of Kildeer is distinctive for its golf-course-adjacent setting -- a feature not shared by nearby communities such as Bradford Place Clubs (Round Lake) or the several Lennar Andaré communities. Buyers who specifically want course views without necessarily paying for golf-club membership may find it a useful middle option compared with dedicated golf-resort 55+ communities elsewhere.
