Gated golf community 35 miles south of downtown Chicago
Carillon is a gated neighborhood that in 1989 became Chicago’s first 55+ active adult community. Interstate 55 runs along the northern border, providing a convenient starting point for the 35-mile trip to downtown Chicago. The Links at Carillon is a prominent golf course, but not the only amenity. "The pools, the golf course, indoor recreation, and the fitness center are all top-notch. They also host various activities for residents that they enjoy,” says Francine Caliendo, a broker with RE/MAX of Naperville. With entertainment, dining and nightlife options lining Weber Road on the east end, too, Carillon may be a gated community, but it offers plenty of chances to explore the greater city of Romeoville in which it’s located.
Carillon was the first 55+ active adult community in the Chicago area.
Enjoy a day on the course at the community golf course, The Links at Carillon.

Contemporary homes starting at $240,000
Most of the homes have a contemporary look, since the community itself is a product of the late 80s. The last home in the community was built in 2001. Types of residence include condos, coach homes, townhouses and single-family homes – each with an array of floor plans. Townhouses can be a popular option among homebuyers, since some of these include views of the golf course. The single-owner homes are typically ranch or modern traditional two-story properties, some of which have basements. Tans and creams color the homes, although there are brick accents occasionally. This adds to the overall placid effect, enhanced by sidewalks, tall oak trees, mature river birches and smooth well-kept lawns. Garages are typically attached and face the street. Prices range from $240,000 to $340,000.
Well maintained lawns and sidewalks are commonplace throughout the Carillon community.
Single family homes in Carillon offer private driveway and attached garages.
