Cambridge

Cambridge at The Glen…all kinds of homes and prices

by

The Glen is a residential and retail development in the beautiful North Shore village of Glenview.  It contains nine individual neighborhoods, built between 2001 and 2017 by different developers.  Cambridge at The Glen is one of those neighborhoods, and it has the most diversity of home styles.  Some Glen neighborhoods have only one home type.  For instance, the Landings and Chapel Crossing developments only have single family homes, and you’ll only find townhomes in Tower Crossing.  Still another neighborhood, Southgate, offers townhomes and single family homes.

On the other hand, Cambridge has single family homes, townhomes, row homes, duplexes and two-flats.  The range of home prices is also quite different from most of the other Glen neighborhoods, from the high $400s to $1 million.  You’ll find some row homes and two-flats in the $400s and $500s.  Single family homes can reach a seven figure price point.

In addition to the diversity and prices of Cambridge, there are other advantages to the neighborhood.  It is closest to The Glen’s Metra train station, an easy walk from any of its homes.  It is also very close to Glen Town Center, the crown jewel of The Glen.  It has wonderful restaurants, shops, a movie theater, bookstore, coffee shop and it even borders a Kohl Children’s Museum.  Cambridge’s proximity to Gallery Park is another advantage with its open spaces, jogging trails, lake and tennis courts.  And, it’s walking distance to two great golf courses, The Glen Club and Glenview Prairie Club.

So, no matter what kind of home you prefer, Cambridge at The Glen would be a great place to live.  If you would like to take a look, give me a call.

The 4th of July in The Glen

by

The marching bands.  The floats.  Candy thrown to children.  It was the 4th of July in my town, Glenview Illinois.

What a wonderful 4th of July in Glenview again this year, and the parade drew a huge crowd as always.  People from throughout our village – many from The Glen – came out to celebrate our nation’s founding and what it is to be an American.  There were kids.  Tons of kids.  Moms, dads and grandparents, too.  It was a family affair that everyone will long remember.

Flags.  I’ve never seen so many flags!  They hung from lamp posts and windows.  They were draped on floats and carried by veterans, firefighters and many others marching along the parade route.  I particularly loved the marching bands with Glenbrook South High School’s award-winning band leading the way.  They played The Star Spangled Banner and other patriotic songs.  Those in the crowd stood, men took off their hats, and many sang, applauded and put a hand over their heart.

When evening arrived village residents poured into The Glen to see the fireworks.  The Glen’s Gallery Park was the scene.  It’s a large park so there was plenty of room for lawn chairs and blankets.  And space for kids to run and play.  The park is bordered on three sides by four of the nine residential developments in The Glen:  Cambridge, Tower Crossing, Landings and Chapel Crossing.  My family and I watched it from our townhome in Tower Crossing.  It was an amazing scene.

If you would like to know more about living in The Glen or greater Glenview, give me a call.  There are many beautiful homes for sale…single family homes, townhomes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats and condos.  I’m an award-winning Realtor and a long time Glen homeowner.

Big award for The Glen

by

To the many attributes of The Glen add this: The project that created The Glen has just been recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its first-ever National Federal Facility Excellence in Site Reuse Award. Sure, it’s a long and confusing name, but the award is meaningful and important. Read on.

The Glen is a residential and commercial development in Glenview, Illinois on the grounds of the former Naval Air Station Glenview. It is comprised of over 2000 homes of all varieties including single family homes, townhomes, row homes, duplexes and condos. The Glen is also home to Glen Town Center which contains a multitude of wonderful restaurants, shops and a movie theater.

As I said, The Glen started as a naval air base. It was closed in 1993. The EPA partnered with the Village of Glenview to clean up the site and turn it over to the Village for development. The project was known as The Glen: From Runways to Streetscapes. Work on construction began in 1997, and it is largely complete. The first Glen homeowners took possession of their homes in 2001. The most recent, and perhaps last, housing development was completed last year; it’s known as Westgate at the Glen. It is one of several unique Glen neighborhoods including Southgate, Tower Crossing, Regency, Cambridge, Chapel Crossing, Glen Shore, Landings and Patriot Commons.

So, there is one more reason for those fortunate homeowners in The Glen to be proud…we are an award winning community. One that we admire and love.
