About Sun City Huntley
Sun City Huntley is Del Webb's flagship Illinois property and one of the largest 55+ communities in the entire Chicago metro. Developed between 1999 and 2015, the community sits on approximately 2,700 acres in Huntley, a fast-growing McHenry County suburb roughly 45 miles northwest of downtown Chicago.
At 5,489 homes, Sun City Huntley operates at a scale that justifies amenities most communities cannot afford: two full recreation centers, a 45-hole golf club, miles of walking and biking paths, and a resident population large enough to support dozens of active clubs and social organizations.
Home Types and Price Range
Sun City Huntley offers three primary housing types, giving buyers flexibility from affordable attached villas to premium single-family homes on larger lots.
Attached Villas and Duplexes
Entry-level pricing starts around $150,000–$220,000 for attached villa units and duplexes. These resale homes share a wall but have individual HOA lots. Popular with buyers who want low exterior maintenance and smaller footprints. Typical sizes run 1,200–1,600 sq ft.
Ranch-Style Single-Family
The majority of Sun City Huntley homes are single-story ranch designs on individual lots. Resale prices range from approximately $220,000 to $425,000 depending on size, condition, lot position, and proximity to the golf course. The Del Webb floor plan series (Abbeyville, Anthem, Denali, Tangerly Oak, Williamsburg) covers roughly 1,400–2,400 sq ft.
Premium Single-Family
Larger lots backing to the golf course or open space can exceed $500,000–$600,000 in resale. These represent the top 5–10% of the community's resale inventory.
