Review of Pingree Grove, Illinois


I lost $70,000 buying in Pingree Grove
Star Rating - 3/4/2019
My neighbors have block parties with mariachi bands and taco venders. I try to relax on my patio and Spanish music blasts loud for hours from neighbors backyards. Lowriders and Mexico flags everywhere and I go to the rec center and everyone is speaking Spanish. My car window has been smashed and my husband caught Hispanic guys in his garage at midnight stealing stuff. Pingree Grove is just a subdivision with no town and no church or library or post office or park district, just one giant congested subdivision and Elgin is building 4,000 homes and apartments all around Cambridge lakes Pingree Grove and it will only get worse here. 35% of Pingree Grove does not know English and this is not the same town as 5 years ago. My family and friends warned me not to purchase here and I did not listen and now my home is worth $220,000 and I paid $300,000 for it and $9,700 a year in property tax. If you want a nice little friendly country town than move to Hampshire Illinois!

Home sold for $212,000 and I paid $249,000 for it in 2017. $9,300 a year in property taxes and $100 HOA fees. Garbage area and town.
