Century Oaks, Elgin
A Elgin, IL neighborhood: what the housing is, what is nearby, and what I have closed there.
Century Oaks is an established subdivision on the west side of Elgin. Developed primarily between the 1950s and 1970s, the neighborhood features ranch, split-level, and colonial revival single-family homes situated on wide suburban lots with mature oak trees.
Century Oaks sits inside Elgin, so the Elgin market report is the right read on prices and pace; the figures beside this are the town's, not the neighborhood's.
