Carillon at Heatherstone, Beach Park — True Cost of Ownership
Lake County | Beach Park | 173 homes | Attached and SF | Homes $150K–$280K | HOA ~$175/mo
Carillon at Heatherstone is the northernmost community in the Carillon brand family and the most affordable entry point by purchase price — homes in the $150K–$280K range. That price advantage is partially offset by Lake County's effective property tax rate of ~2.5%, the highest of any county in the Carillon portfolio. On a $200K home, the annual tax bill is roughly $5,000, which is comparable to a $285K home in Will County at 2.3%. The purchase price is lower but the ongoing tax burden at the same price point is higher.
