The Fox River and Route 31 bisect Dundee
Several communities with vibrant commercial corridors – including East Dundee, West Dundee and Sleepy Hollow – hug the scenic Fox River within the Dundee Township. About 50 miles northwest of Chicago, this riverside region has charisma to spare, with housing diversity, a festive downtown scene and access to numerous communal green spaces. “The region already has so much to offer, with the historic homes and small-town charm, but another benefit is the commuter aspect,” says Jenny Jones, Broker Associate and Team Manager for the Jones Team. “It’s 45 minutes from O’Hare Airport, close by I-90 to help you get into the city as needed and our main thoroughfare Route 31 takes you through dozens of other towns. Living here gives you the best of both worlds. City amenities, in a quaint community.”
Dundee, IL is on the east side of the Fox River, which offers outdoor adventures.

Locals have 32 miles of riparian woodlands to explore along the multiuse Fox River Trail, which links several communities. Elsewhere along the waterway anglers cast lines, observe wildlife and paddle the scenic waters. Birdwatchers can scan for Great Blue herons, red-tail hawks and American Goldfinches at Jelke Creek Bird Sanctuary, which preserves a vast expanse of wetlands and prairie. Trails are open to hikers and cyclists, and fishing is permitted in larger ponds. Horseback riders follow 45 miles of multiuse trails that ribbon across Spring Lake Forest Preserve. The preserve is adjacent to Barrington Hills Riding Center, which offers riding lessons.
