Illinois retirees wanting to stay close to friends and family have numerous choices when it comes to active adult communities. There are large resort-style 55+ communities, small intimate sized communities, rural privacy, suburban settings and even city locations. Homeowners in Illinois appreciate the four-season climate, the amenities of downtown Chicago and the ideal central location of Illinois for travel to anywhere in the country. Del Webb saw the growing interest for active adult communities in Illinois and began developing such communities in 1998 with its first Midwestern active adult community, Sun City Huntley.
Sun City Huntley is a large resort-style active adult community offering homes in every price range, a wide variety of amenities and the famous Del Webb lifestyle. Huntley, Illinois is a far western suburb of Chicago approximately 45 miles from the city and close to major freeways for easy transportation throughout the surrounding suburbs. The local Huntley area is a friendly community with everyday conveniences just minutes from home including major national retailers, shopping malls, restaurants, golf courses and more.
Within Sun City Huntley by Del Webb there are hundreds of amenities, many of which are located in the impressive Prairie Lodge of 94,000 square feet.
