About This Neighborhood
History of Ponds of Stony Creek
Ponds of Stony Creek is the newest and most active new-construction community in the Elgin area — a large-scale development that began delivering homes in 2019 and continues to expand. The community takes its name from the network of retention ponds and the Stony Creek tributary that weave through the development, providing scenic water views for many of the lots.
"Ponds of Stony Creek is the address buyers are competing for right now. Brand-new homes, exceptional schools, and a location that can't be beat — and the numbers prove the demand."
The development is being built by multiple national and regional builders, offering a range of floor plans from 2,200 to 4,800+ sq ft. The community's new-construction character means buyers get the latest in energy-efficient building science, modern open concepts, and current design trends — quartz countertops, LVP flooring, smart home pre-wiring — all as standard or near-standard features.
With 42 closed sales in the last 12 months alone at 99.6% of list price, Ponds of Stony Creek is among the most active markets in the greater Elgin area.
