Photos: Model home at Highland Woods in Elgin

The Jackson model, which starts at $299,000, has 3,157 square feet, four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a three-car tandem attached garage. "Even though it wasn't finished, we could see the dimensions of the rooms," Michael Amato said. "I couldn't imagine buying without seeing a model. It makes sense."
