Fox River living — three listings from $399K to $748K
View Available Homes Call (847) 738-1884McHenry Shores is the city's Fox River quarter — the streets along and near the water where three homes currently list from $399,000 to $748,000 (median activity $330.5K across the wider mix). Housing runs the river-town gamut: original cottages, updated ranches and substantial newer builds sharing the shoreline.
This is where the Chain O'Lakes lifestyle extends upriver: docks, boat access and water views at prices that undercut the lake-front proper. As Chain boaters ourselves, we know exactly which stretches have the wake rules and water depth that matter.
Three active listings to $748K. Water-access properties set their own market — pricing is parcel-by-parcel, and inspections earn their fee on the older stock.
The original stock — charm, character, projects.
Modernized single-levels in the middle band.
Substantial homes commanding the $600s–$700s.
