Carillon Plainfield HOA fees are estimated at approximately $225/month. This is notably higher than Sun City Huntley ($143/mo) but reflects a gated community with on-site golf course maintenance, multiple pools, and a substantial clubhouse operation. Verify the current fee directly with the HOA before making an offer — fees have been subject to incremental annual increases.
HOA vs. Sun City Huntley: At $225/mo vs. $143/mo, Carillon costs approximately $984 more per year in HOA fees. Over 10 years that difference compounds to roughly $11,000. However, Carillon is gated and HOA fees include different services — this is an apples-to-apples cost comparison, not a quality comparison.
