Lexington: One of South Elgin's first developments

"Once they move in, they don't like to leave," says South Elgin's favorite Realtor, Judy LoBianco Nelson, about the neighborhood of Lexington.

It is a community comprised mainly of ranch-style homes with a few bi-level and tri-level homes in the development as well.

Nelson said home prices range between $220,000 and $250,000, and are primarily three- or four-bedroom models. Basements are common in these homes, which were constructed between 1964 and 1970.

The community has a mixed demographic of middle-age residents with grown families and newer homeowners or first-time buyers. It is within walking distance of Concord Park, one of South Elgin's largest recreation areas.

Nelson said the homes in the neighborhood are well-maintained and that there is a very low turnover of homes there.

"People tend to move in and stay," she said.

Currently, the homes are served by a neighborhood grade school, Willard, along with the recently built Kenyon Woods Middle School and South Elgin High School.
