Townhomes are the fastest growing of new homes in the U.S.

September 27, 2019 by Margaret Ludemann

According to the National Association of Homebuilders, townhomes are now the fastest-growing segment of the single family housing construction market.  The association is a trade group representing homebuilders throughout the United States.

Roughly half of the homes in The Glen of Glenview, Illinois are townhomes.  Some were built in the early years of the development, about twenty years ago.  Some are very new, having been completed in the last couple of years.

Townhomes in The Glen range in size from about 1300 sq ft to over 4100 sq ft.  (Yes, over 4100 sq ft!)  The prices range from the $300s to the low $800s.  There are 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes.

The Glen offers many amenities to homeowners including two golf courses, a local train station to downtown Chicago, parks, playgrounds, Lake Glenview, a Park Center gym, a movie theater and Glen Town Center with numerous shops and restaurants.

I’ve been a Glen homeowner for 16 years, and I love it.  If you may be interested in a home in The Glen, please give me a call.  I am an award-winning Realtor who specializes in Glen homes.

Annual Art Fair in The Glen Is This Weekend, August 3 & 4

July 31, 2019 by Margaret Ludemann

This is a weekend that everyone in The Glen, Glenview and much of the North Shore looks forward to…the Annual Glen Art Fair.  It’s one of the largest in the Chicago metropolitan area, and many consider it the best.  Glen Town Center will come alive with artist booths featuring painting, jewelry, sculpture and wearables.  Spend time visiting with the many artists (150 in all) who will have their work for sale.  There will be live music, art demonstrations and the ever popular art tent for kids.  There is no charge and plenty of parking…and great weather is in the forecast.  The exhibits will be open from 10 to 5 Saturday and Sunday.  2030 Tower Drive in Glenview.

Large single family homes in Southgate in The Glen

April 15, 2019 by Margaret Ludemann

There’s roughly the same number of single family homes and attached homes in The Glen in Glenview, a North Shore suburban village close to Chicago.  Attached homes are townhomes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats and condos.  Of The Glen’s ten neighborhoods with privately-owned homes, five offer single family homes which is today’s blog topic.  Home prices for single family homes range from the $600s to over $2 million.

The largest single family homes are found in the Southgate development.  Southgate offers 237 homes ranging in size from 2600 to over 5000 square feet.  Fifty-five Estate Homes on lots of at least 1/3 of an acre border The Glen Club’s award-winning golf course, so the views are amazing.  The other 182 homes are found on Southgate’s lovely winding streets with large, beautiful trees and landscaping.

Southgate even has its own playground for small children.  It’s a private area for Southgate residents only.  Naturally this development, as with all Glen neighborhoods, is close to Glen Town Center’s many restaurants and shops as well as its movie theater and book store.  All in all, Southgate is hard to beat.

If you’re interested in large, beautiful homes, let me take you to Southgate to look around.  There are several homes for sale.

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.

The Glen…Convenient to Everything

February 1, 2019 by Margaret Ludemann

My husband and I recently purchased a condo in his home town of Omaha.  It’s for investment purposes, at least for now.  Someday way down the road after I retire, we may use it personally as well as keeping our home here in The Glen (in the north shore community of Glenview).

Why do I mention this?  Well, because we chose a location very much like The Glen.  By that I mean, the condo is within walking distance of restaurants, shopping, and a movie theater.  After living in The Glen, we couldn’t imagine spending time – full or part – in a place that doesn’t have this level of convenience.

Our Glen home is a half-block from a great pizza place, Your Pie.  Within the three-block long main street called Tower Drive, we have a choice of numerous restaurants, wonderful shops, Arclight Cinema, Kohl Children’s Museum, a laundry, ice cream parlor, Starbucks and so much more.  We can even walk to a Metra train station that gets us to Chicago’s loop in 30 – 45 minutes.  If I wasn’t a Realtor, I’m not sure we would even own a car.

So, if this sounds like a great place to live, give me a call.  There are many luxury home types currently for sale including single family, townhomes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats and condo/apartments.  Prices range from around $400,000 to over $2 million.  Certainly, you can find one that’s perfect for you.
