About Alden

Set in the rolling countryside of northern McHenry County, Alden is a quiet rural community centered around the intersection of Illinois Route 173 and Alden Road. First settled in the 1840s by New York transplants, the area is known for its open farmland, quiet backroads, and scenic natural wetlands around the headwaters of Nippersink Creek. It offers plenty of space to spread out and a relaxed country rhythm, while neighboring towns like Harvard and Woodstock keep everyday shopping, schools, and commuter rail within an easy drive.
