The Ponds at Mill Race Creek is an ‘Inland Signature Community’, consisting of 243 single family homes and 126 townhomes.  The single family lots were sold to Kimball Hill Homes and Hoffman Homes, while Lord and Essex purchased the townhome units.   This development won a Silver Key award from the Chicagoland Homebuilders Association for outstanding design.  A rill system – a stream of fresh circulating water which meanders the perimeter of the property – complements a system of lakes, ponds and dramatic waterfalls.  Competition for these lots was fierce among builders
