There’s ample room for a pool, outdoor entertaining spaces, additional structures, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy that comes with acreage in town. A property with room for both roots and reinvention — all within walking distance to downtown Elgin.

These residential areas are intended to be defined and protected from the encroachment of uses which are not appropriate to residential environment. Internal stability, attractiveness, order and efficiency are encouraged by providing for adequate light, air and open space for dwellings and related facilities and through consideration of, the proper functional relationship of the different uses.
