Located in the scenic Fox River Valley just north of Carpentersville, the quiet village of 14,700 is experiencing a major housing boom, ranking it among the top development spots in the northwest suburbs. While schools, shopping and a rural atmosphere all contribute to the area’s new-found popularity, village officials cite Algonquin’s proximity to the Northwest Tollway as its main selling point. In recent years the I-90 commercial corridor has flourished, attracting such corporate giants as Sears and Ameritech, as well as many smaller companies. With direct access to the tollway via Illinois Route 25, and especially Randall Road, Algonquin has become popular among home buyers.
