Andare at Glenloch

Andaré at Glenloch is a 143-home active adult 55+ community built by Lennar (originally CalAtlantic Group) in Algonquin, Illinois, about 40 miles northwest of downtown Chicago. Development spanned 2008 through 2021, with the original townhouses built starting in 2008 and single-family ranch homes added beginning in 2018. The community is now sold out and trades as resale only, with homes ranging roughly 1,224 to 2,648 square feet. What sets Andaré at Glenloch apart from typical Chicago-area 55+ communities is Lennar's Everything's Included® approach combined with Wi-Fi CERTIFIED smart home technology. Homes come equipped with home automation features controlled by phone or voice via Amazon Alexa, including smart thermostats, video doorbells, smart locks, garage door controls, and integrated security. Interiors feature open floor plans with vaulted ceilings, quartz countertops, Aristokraft cabinets, stainless GE appliances, and luxury vinyl plank flooring. Popular models like the Bennett offer two bedrooms, two baths, a private study, sunroom, and extended two-car garage. The heart of the community is a stunning clubhouse with a fitness center, activity room, meeting room, kitchen, and an outdoor patio area anchored by a fire pit and beautifully landscaped seating. Just outside the clubhouse sits the community park, featuring a bocce ball court, a combined pickleball/tennis court, and a picnic pavilion. Two scenic ponds, acres of parklands, and a network of walking and biking paths wind through the neighborhood, with direct connections to the broader Algonquin trail system and the Fox River Trail. Social life is driven by residents — the HOA hosts regular holiday parties and social events, while informal tennis, bocce, and pickleball groups, plus resident-started clubs, round out the calendar. Lawn maintenance, snow removal, and common-area upkeep are handled by the association, managed by FirstService Residential, freeing residents from the chores of traditional homeownership. The location puts residents minutes from Routes 25, 31, 62, and County Line Road, with historic downtown Algonquin and the Fox River just a short drive away. The Randall Road corridor — home to Algonquin Commons, the Galleria, and the Esplanade — delivers extensive shopping and dining, while Lake Braewood, Spring Lake Nature Preserve, and the Fox River offer fishing, hiking, biking, and paddling. Chicago is roughly 40–43 miles southeast for big-city culture, and O'Hare International is about 45 minutes away, making Andaré at Glenloch a quiet suburban retreat with strong access to everything the Chicago metro offers.
