Tower Crossing in The Glen checks all the boxes

February 18, 2019 by Margaret Ludemann

Hiding under my desk I found a newspaper article about townhomes.  I cut it out of the paper a couple of months ago.  Must have slipped off my desk.  Anyway, the writer* offered four recommendations for townhome buyers.  As I read it again, it occurred to me that that The Glen’s Tower Crossing townhomes checked each of the four boxes.

#1        PLACE A PREMIUM ON LOCATION    CHECK, Tower Crossing is in The Glen, a residential and retail development in Glenview Illinois.  The development has its own “Main Street” with shops, restaurants, and cinema.  Glenview offers award-winning schools and its own train station getting you to downtown Chicago in a little over half an hour.

#2        LOOK FOR A TOWNHOME WITH AN EXPANSIVE INTERIOR    CHECK, there are six models of townhomes ranging in size from 3032 sq ft to 4105 sq ft.  That’s big!

#3        DON’T TRADE OFF PARKING    CHECK, each of the 154 townhomes in Tower Crossing has its own 2+ car garage.

#4        LOOK FOR A HARMONIOUS COMMUNITY    CHECK, I’ve lived in Tower Crossing for 16 years, and my neighborhood is the friendliest place I’ve ever lived.  We have cookouts, picnics, cocktail parties, holiday get-togethers and much more.

So, as you can see, Tower Crossing checks all the boxes.  We are a harmonious community of large townhomes with attached parking; and we are walking distance to retail and a Metra train station.  Plus, our kids attend among great schools.

If you’re interested in this kind of townhome living, give me a call.  I am an award-winning @properties Realtor and resident of this remarkable community.

New Census of The Glen in Glenview

October 15, 2018 by Margaret Ludemann

Each year a census is done of The Glen by the Village of Glenview.  The new census was released recently, and it is very interesting reading.  Here are the highlights:

  • There are 2,446 homes in The Glen.
  • 5,545 people live in the 14 Glen neighborhoods, 10 of which have privately-owned homes of many varieties including single family homes, townhomes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats and condos.
  • Of the 5,545 residents, 1,304 are children. 1,036 Glen kids are enrolled in schools, the others are not yet of school age.
  • 85% of Glen children are enrolled in Glenview’s award-winning public schools grades K – 12; that’s 885 kids.  15% of the school-aged children are in non-public schools; that’s 151.

The Glen is a wonderful place to live.  Home prices range from the high $300s to over $2 million.  Our Glen Town Center offers great places to eat, shop and be entertained.  We have our own Metra stop which gets residents to the Loop in 30 – 45 minutes depending on time of day.  And we’re under a half hour to O’Hare International Airport.

If you may be interested in living in The Glen, give me a call at 847-401-1802 or send me an email to margaretludemann@gmail.com.  I am a long time Glen homeowner and award-winning Realtor.

Living in The Glen’s Tower Crossing neighborhood

June 26, 2018 by Margaret Ludemann

I live in Tower Crossing in The Glen.  I do.  And I love it.  Always have.  Always will.

I moved here to Glenview in the relatively early days of The Glen development back in 2003.  In fact, my gorgeous townhome is on Lot #1 of the Tower Crossing neighborhood, one of 9 distinct developments in The Glen.  Some Glen neighborhoods have single family homes, others offer row homes, two-flats, duplexes and condos.  That’s my townhome in the photo, the end unit on the right.  Four stories, 3 bedrooms, 3.1 bathrooms, 2 fireplaces, a luxurious kitchen…and a whole bunch of fun.

Fun?  Yes fun!  I can easily walk to Glen Town Center’s many shops, restaurants and movie theater.  In fact, there’s a great little pizza place, Your Pie, a half block from my front door.  (I should count the number of steps someday.)  The Glen Metra station is a 10-minute stroll, and I have a big park nearly across the street.  It’s a lot like living in the city where we used to live, but…it has wonderful attributes of the suburbs, too.  Get this, I have two golf courses a block from my home.  Two!  The park has walking and biking trails.  The schools are incredible.  I mean REALLY incredible, award-winning schools.  I can get to O’Hare in 20 minutes by car, and the Loop in 45 minutes by train.  You can’t beat it.

If this is the kind of place you might like to live, give me a call at 847-401-1802 or email me at MargaretLudemann@cbexchange.com.  I’m an award-winning Realtor who knows The Glen inside and out.  There are several stunning Tower Crossing homes for sale and some great homes in other Glen neighborhoods, too.

The Glen, a great place for families with kids

September 26, 2016 by Margaret Ludemann

When my family moved to The Glen (in Glenview Illinois) in 2003, our son had just turned three years old. My husband and I were attracted to its stunning homes, beautiful neighborhoods, and the ‘urban living in the suburbs’ character that it is known for today. And one more thing, the Glenview’s award winning schools.

After living here only a short period, we also learned that it’s a great place for families with children. Not just because of the schools, but also for the wonderful neighborhoods and the great variety of things available to our son. He is now fifteen and a sophomore at Glenbrook South High School. He has had an active childhood, and so much of that has been due to the vast array of places and activities in The Glen.

As a small child he played in Battery Park…soccer, fishing, flying kites, and just running around. Little Bear Garden, Little Gym, and Kohl Children’s Museum were favorites as well. He did pre-school, classes in pottery and acting, basketball, and swimming in the Park Center.

When he got a little older, he attended Attea Middle School, one of the finest of its kind anywhere; it’s just a short walk from anywhere in The Glen. And at about this age he started “hanging out” in Glen Town Center, The Glen’s “main street”, where he could meet friends in a wholesome environment with tons of things to do and places to go. I’ve lost count of how many movies he’s seen with his buddies at Arclight Theater in GTC; and before or after he would join them for a mac and cheese at Noodles and ice cream at Ben and Jerry’s afterward.

There are some newer fun things for kids to do in Glen Town Center, too, such as Pinot’s Palette, FlavorPot Cooking School, and Funtopia (an indoor climbing and play area).

So, if you’re looking for a place to live and raise your children, take a look at The Glen. We have single family homes, townhouses, row homes, two-flats, duplexes and condos. Prices range from the $300’s to over $2 million. I am an award winning Realtor and a Glen expert. Give me a call at 847-401-1802, and I’ll tell you all about it. Alternatively, I can be reached by email at margaretludemann@gmail.com.
