Would a new townhome around $380,000 fit your search?

If you’re looking for new construction around the Fox Valley, a townhome around $380,000 might be worth a look. If you’d rather have a single-family home, there’s an option in the same community starting around $550,000.

I’m talking about Ashbury by Lennar in South Elgin. The builder is actively selling both home types, with a welcome center at 1522 Kinwood Road. That gives you two different places to start your search, depending on the space, budget and upkeep you have in mind.

The first question is whether the home fits your life. The next one is what the purchase actually includes.

What do the advertised prices tell you?

As reviewed November 2, 2026, Lennar’s community page advertises its Traditional Townhomes collection from $377,990 and its Medallion Series single-family homes from $550,990. Those are the starting figures behind the rounded prices in the companion reel.

A specific home can have a different advertised price. During this live check, the Marianne townhome at 1524 Marlo Lane showed $374,990. It lists three bedrooms, two full baths, one half bath, a two-car garage and 1,767 square feet.

That’s a dated example to explore, not a guaranteed purchase price. The collection starting price and a particular home’s price are different things, and the builder’s pages can change. Confirm the current price and included features for the exact address you like.

Which homes could fit your timing?

Lennar’s community page displayed 11 available homes during this review. That is a public listing count. It does not tell us the total number of unsold homes or remaining lots, or how close the community is to completion.

Timing deserves a closer look, too. The 1524 Marlo Lane listing carried a “move-in ready” label while also showing an estimated completion date of November 12, 2026. I’d confirm its actual completion and possession schedule before planning a move around it.

If you have a lease ending or a home to sell, start with that date. Then compare homes that can realistically work with your schedule. Confirm which furnished models and specific homes are available to tour, since a floor plan online doesn’t establish that a matching model is open.

Look at the neighborhood along with the floor plan

Lennar advertises a park, playground, pickleball court and trail at Ashbury. If one of those features matters to you, ask what is open today and what is still planned or under construction. Their completion status was not verified for this article.

Ask to see the current site plan for the home you’re considering. Where does it sit within the community? What construction could still happen nearby? Then try the drive to the places you visit most. Those everyday details deserve a place beside the kitchen and bedroom count.

What does the deal actually include?

Before choosing a home, I’d want the price, timing and costs in the same conversation. Ask for the included features, any lot or option charges, estimated closing costs, association fees and responsibilities, and a current property-tax estimate for that home.

I’d also ask what incentives are available and whether any additional offers could apply to your situation. No specific Ashbury incentive has been confirmed for this article. Get any offer in writing, including eligible homes, deadlines and financing requirements, before counting it toward your budget.

You don’t need to have every answer before reaching out. Your budget, the type of home you want and your ideal move date are a useful place to start.
