Homebuyers can select from a variety of housing styles including condos, townhomes, coach homes and single-family homes. Carillon in Plainfield was originally started by Cenvil, a Florida corporation in 1989. They purchased 1,477 acres and had ambitious plans to build a sprawling age-restricted lifestyle community with over 8,000 homes. After building less than 400 homes in the first three years, the large tract was divided into several all-ages developments but the core portion of land was purchased by Cambridge Homes who elected to continue with the construction of a 55+ age-restricted community. Cambridge completed development in 2001 with a total of 2,097 homes. There are 16 separate neighborhoods and each one has its own association. In addition, each resident is also a member of the Carillon Adult Master Association (CAMA), who presides over the amenities and common elements of Carillon in Plainfield, IL.
