Cook County Assessment — Different Rules
Cook County assesses residential property at 10% of market value — not the 33.33% used by all other Illinois counties. A $300,000 condo is assessed at $30,000, then the tax rate is applied. The resulting effective rate of approximately 2.2% means your actual bill is similar to collar county rates, but the underlying math is different. Do not compare Cook County assessed values to collar county values directly — the numbers will look wildly different but the bills may be similar.
Overview
Rob Roy Country Club Village is an age-targeted condominium and townhome community in Prospect Heights, northwest Cook County, built adjacent to the Rob Roy Golf Course. The community is primarily attached housing — condominiums and attached townhomes — making it distinct from the largely detached-home communities that dominate the Chicago 55+ market. HOA at approximately $400/month is higher than suburban peers but reflects the exterior maintenance, common area coverage, and golf adjacency services included.
Prospect Heights provides strong northwest Cook access: close to the Palatine/Arlington Heights retail corridor, Northwestern Medicine facilities, and the Union Pacific Northwest Metra line at Palatine station approximately 4 miles west. For buyers who want Cook County proximity to Chicago without the collar county drive, this community addresses that need. Note: Rob Roy is age-targeted rather than legally age-restricted 55+ — verify specific age restriction status before purchase if this is a requirement.
