The Original Elk Grove Village — America's Great Planned Suburb
View Available Homes Call (847) 738-1884Centex isn't just a neighborhood — it's the origin of Elk Grove Village itself, the vast planned community Centex Corporation built from the late 1950s that became a national model for the modern suburb.
Eight active listings from $389,900 to $649,900 show the range six decades produced: original ranches, expanded family homes, and full rebuilds sharing the same famous street grid.
Centex-section homes currently list from $389,900 to $649,900 with a sold median around $386,000 — the village's deepest and most liquid market. The spread rewards buyers who know which blocks and models carry which values.

Centex-section students attend District 59 schools and Elk Grove High School in District 214; verify block assignments with the district. School boundaries in the northwest suburbs can vary block by block — always verify your specific address with the district office before purchasing.
The village's parks, pools, library and Busse Woods anchor daily life, with the industrial park's job base and O'Hare minutes away. Explore our full Elk Grove Village guide →
Our MLS runs a Private Listing Network — real listings agents can see that never appear on Zillow or any public site, because the sellers want privacy. We can't advertise them. What we can do is share matches directly with our own buyers. If Centex is where you want to be, tell us exactly what you're looking for — we'll watch the private side for you, and we'll only contact you about that.
