McHenry County property management
One Point Property Management manages rental homes across southeastern McHenry County, including Crystal Lake, Algonquin, Cary, Lake in the Hills, Huntley, McHenry and Woodstock. We are based in Hoffman Estates and cover the county on a weekly schedule.
- Single-family rentals with larger lots and newer construction than the inner suburbs
- Metra UP-NW stations in Crystal Lake, Cary, Fox River Grove, Woodstock and Harvard
- State landlord-tenant law applies, without a county ordinance
McHenry County is where the northwest suburbs turn into small cities, lakes and farmland, and its rental market is almost entirely single-family. Owners here are often accidental landlords: a family that moved for work and kept the house, or an investor who bought a newer home in Lake in the Hills or Huntley for the rent it commands from families in the local school districts.
The county’s Metra Union Pacific Northwest line runs through Cary, Crystal Lake, Woodstock and on to Harvard, and Randall Road ties Algonquin, Lake in the Hills and Crystal Lake together as one retail and employment corridor. Renters follow both.

Before you rent out a home in McHenry County
Illinois state law governs deposits, notices and evictions here, and eviction matters are heard at the county courthouse in Woodstock. Newer subdivisions often have association declarations that limit leasing. We check the documents before listing.
Questions McHenry County owners ask.
What does property management cost?
A monthly management fee as a percentage of collected rent, plus a leasing fee when we place a new resident. There are no hidden charges; the full fee schedule is in the management agreement before you sign. Request a proposal and you will have the numbers for your specific home within one business day.
Where do you manage property?
The northwest suburbs of Chicago: Hoffman Estates, Schaumburg, Palatine, Arlington Heights, Mount Prospect, Rolling Meadows, Elgin, Algonquin, Crystal Lake, Mundelein and the surrounding communities in Cook, Kane, Lake and McHenry Counties. If your home is nearby but not on the list, ask.
How quickly will my home rent?
A well-presented home priced to current leases in its attendance area usually has qualified applications within the first two weeks. The biggest variables are price, condition and season. We tell you before listing what each choice will likely cost in days on market.
My home is in an association. Can it be rented?
Often yes, but the declaration has to be read first. Some associations cap the number of rentals, set minimum lease terms or require board approval and a move-in fee. We review the documents before listing and handle the approval as part of leasing.
