Century Oaks, Elgin

A Elgin, IL neighborhood: what the housing is, what is nearby, and what has closed there.

Century Oaks is a mid-century subdivision located west of the Fox River. Development began in the 1950s and 1960s, producing brick ranches, split-levels, and colonial revival residences situated on winding residential streets. Lots are larger than in the historic core and feature mature oak trees.

Homes in Century Oaks

Built primarily during the 1950s and 1960s, this neighborhood features single-family ranch and split-level houses ranging from 1,200 to 2,400 square feet. Curvilinear streets accommodate quarter-acre lots with attached one- or two-car garages.

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.
