Townhomes with lots of green space

by

Hey city dwellers!  Want to keep the city feel, but escape the high concentration of people during Covid?  I have the perfect solution for you.  It’s called Tower Crossing in The Glen in Glenview, an upscale suburb of the Chicago metropolitan area.

Tower Crossing is a development with 154 large townhomes with significant green space.  Not only does it have its own large common areas, but it resides directly across Patriot Boulevard from a huge public park and lake, and it’s only a short walk to two outstanding golf courses.

You will still get the convenience of city living because no Tower Crossing home is more than a block from Glen Town Center which is filled with shops, restaurants, coffee shops and a movie theater.  It’s the best of both worlds.

There are several models of Tower Crossing homes and they range in size from 3031 square feet to 4105 square feet.  These are sizable homes.  And they are stunning!  All brick exteriors.  Georgian architecture.  High ceilings, striking wood floors, and luxurious amenities throughout.  Prices range from the $600s to $800s.

If you would like to learn more about city living in the suburbs, give me a call.  I am a knowledgeable Realtor and long time Tower Crossing homeowner.

Glenbrook High School District, serving The Glen, named #1 in Illinois

by

Yet another award for the high school serving The Glen and greater Glenview, Illinois!  In April, I wrote a blog about Glenbrook South High School receiving a Project Lead the Way Distinguished School Award.  Project Lead the Way is a non-profit that works with schools to promote excellence in computer science, engineering and bio-medical science.  A previous ranking by Niche.com named the school one of the top 30 in the country (the country!) and #1 for extracurricular activities.  Adding to those prestigious awards comes the recently announced recognition, also by Niche.com, naming Glenbrook High School District 225 as the best in Illinois with a rating of A+.

My son recently graduated from Glenbrook South High School, and he’ll be heading to college in a few weeks.  Those of us who live in The Glen are fortunate to have one of the best high schools in the nation to educate our children.  In fact, quality of schools was the principle reason my family moved here 16 years ago.

The Glen is a residential and retail development with luxury homes of all types including single family, town homes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats and condos.  If you want to learn more about living in The Glen and about homes for sale, please contact me.  I’m an award-winning Realtor focusing on Glen homes.

The Glen Club in The Glen. Great golf, dining and lodging.

by

Stunning!  That’s the view my husband and I had while dining at The Glen Club last weekend.  The club is in The Glen in Glenview, a development with luxury homes and an upscale retail area.  We ate on the patio and loved the serene and beautiful view of the course.

The Glen Club is well known and highly regarded. It’s an 18 hole championship course designed by the legendary Tom Fazio. The course is beautiful to look at and challenging to play. Golf Magazine has rated it the fourth best courses you can play in Illinois and among the Top 100 in the United States. When it opened in 2001 Sports Illustrated listed it as a top 10 new course. A stately 48,000 square feet clubhouse provides overnight lodging and first class dining. The club offers private corporate memberships, but it is also available to non-members.

Many Glen homes have great views of these picturesque golf courses. Fifty-five magnificent “estate” single family homes in the Southgate subdivision border The Glen Club’s course as do nine stunning townhomes in Tower Crossing. Several homes in the lovely Westgate and Patriot Commons neighborhoods also have great views.

If you are a golfer who may be interested in living in The Glen, please contact me for additional information. I am a long time Glen homeowner and an award winning Realtor.
