Construction of Westgate at the Glen is in high gear…homes are still available

by

There are still single family homes, row homes and townhomes available at Westgate at The Glen in Glenview Illinois on Chicagoland’s north shore. Westgate is a new residential development at the corner of Shermer Road and West Lake Avenue, across the street from two outstanding golf courses.  It is also a short walk to Glen Town Center‘s many shops and restaurants. The developer is E.R. James Homes, a well-regarded local builder who earned his Glen props over a decade ago when he developed the super popular, high end Southgate neighborhood.

The Westgate development is well under way. In fact the Phase 2 Grand Opening for the row homes is scheduled for this upcoming weekend (May 2 & 3). The important thing to know, however, is that there are still new construction homes available whether your interest is in single family properties, row homes or Mews townhomes.

Perhaps the hottest residential trend these days is first floor master bedrooms. Westgate’s single family homes and some of their row homes offer first floor masters, so if that’s important to you and if you want to live in the Glen, this is the place for you.

Westgate’s single family homes range in size roughly between 2600 and 3000 square feet; and they offer three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and two-car garages. The gourmet kitchens will take your breath away. Delivery of the single family homes will be in 2016. Prices range between the upper $700’s and low $800’s.

The row homes range in size between about 1885 and 2464 square feet and in price between the low $500’s and low $600’s, great pricing for new homes of this size and quality. This is especially true given that it is in the ultra-popular Glen. A few first floor models and end units are still available!

The Mews townhomes have three levels, screened in porches and decks. A very cool option is to build the porch into an internal den. These homes range in size between 2000 and 2200 square feet, and a few end units are still available. Delivery can be anticipated in late 2015 to early 2016.  Prices range between the high $400’s and low $500’s.

If you’re interested in Westgate homes and Glen living please contact me. I am a long time Glen homeowner and @properties Realtor, and I would be delighted to help you select your perfect home whether in Westgate or elsewhere.

The new Westgate development in The Glen (Glenview Illinois) is proving to be very popular. While construction is in early stages, sales have been strong. Of the 171 homes planned, all have been contracted except for twenty-four.

E.R. James Partners, LLC is the developer of the project. This is the same firm that developed the very upscale, high price point Southgate development, also in The Glen. Westgate is located at the northwest corner of W. Lake Avenue and Shermer Road, immediately to the north of The Glen Club and west of Glenview Prairie Club Golf Course. It is also a short walk to Glen Town Center, The Glen’s main shopping and dining area. So for people interested in new construction in close proximity to dining, shopping and golf, Westgate is a great choice.

The development offers 70 row homes ranging in size between 2542 and 2980 square feet (sq ft). There are 6 units still available for sale.

Sixty-three mews townhomes are planned ranging in size between 2037 and 2399 sq ft; and 9 may still be purchased.

Only 9 of the 38 very popular single family homes remain to be purchased. They range in size between 1885 and 2464 sq ft. Like the attached properties, these beautiful homes offer maintenance free living.

New homes in Westgate at the Glen are still available

by

So, how many Westgate at the Glen homes are still available? Read on.

Westgate is the new, upscale housing development in The Glen in Glenview Illinois. It is located at the northwest corner of W. Lake Avenue and Shermer Road. Respected home builder E. R. James Partners LLC is the developer. 173 luxury homes are planned in three housing types. There will be 71 row homes, 68 Mews Townhomes, and 34 single family homes. The development will be built in 2 phases with deliveries between 2015 and 2017.

The project kicked off with a reservation event a couple of months ago, and the development opened for sales shortly thereafter.  As of last Friday there were still many homes available for sale.  Here is the breakdown by housing type:

Row Homes:

  • All row homes to be built in phase 1 have sold.
  • Phase 2 homes cannot yet be purchased, however the developer is taking “reservations” with a down payment. Reservations are not binding on the buyer. When final home prices become available for this phase, buyers with reservations may complete their purchase. Currently there are 24 row home reservations. 8 units do not as yet have reservations.

Mews Townhomes:

  • 19 townhomes are still available in phase 1.
  • All 26 townhomes planned for phase 2 are available.

Single Family Homes:

  • 26 of the 38 single family homes have been sold. All single family homes will be built in phase 1.

The news here is that Westgate homes are indeed still available! There were rumors that the development sold out, however as you can see homes in all 3 housing types may be purchased. If you may be interested in a Westgate home or perhaps a home in any other Glen neighborhood, you may contact me for a showing at 847-401-1802 or by email at margaret.ludemann@gmail.com.

Westgate at the Glen Update

by

It has been a couple of months since I last blogged about Westgate, the new construction housing development in The Glen in Glenview Illinois. At that time I told you about the “reservation event” which allowed early registrants to receive more information about the proposed development and arrange appointments with developer E.R. James Partners to select home types and locations. Two months later the vast majority of homes have been sold, though many are still available. Home construction has not yet begun, though as you can see from the attached photo, the builder has initiated grading. Work on underground infrastructure should begin soon.

Westgate, which is located on nearly 30 acres of land at the northwest corner of W. Lake Avenue and Shermer Road, offers 173 luxury homes. There will be 71 row homes, 68 mews townhomes, and 34 single family homes with first floor master bedroom suites. The development will have professionally landscaped common areas; and it will provide nearly maintenance-free living.

The early interest in Westgate suggests that this will be a popular addition to The Glen which already has 8 lovely neighborhoods with a wide variety of home types including single family, townhomes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats, villas, and condo apartments. In addition to beautiful homes the Glen offers two golf courses, upscale shopping, and over 20 restaurants in Glen Town Center. A local Metra station gets residents into downtown Chicago in 44 minutes. The development is also convenient to O’Hare International Airport by car.

If you are interested in living in The Glen, please contact me at 847-401-1802 or by email, margaret.ludemann@gmail.com.

New construction homes in The Glen

by

There are two neighborhoods in The Glen available to buyers seeking new construction.  One is available now, and the other will be available soon.

First, a little background:  The Glen is an upscale residential and retail development on Chicago’s North Shore in the community of Glenview, Illinois.  There are several distinct neighborhoods with two things in common:  They have stunning, luxury homes; and homeowners enjoy the “urban living in the suburbs” lifestyle that the Glen is known for.  The various neighborhoods are anchored by our retail hub, Glen Town Center.  OK, now I’ll tell you about the new construction real estate opportunities in The Glen.

Regency:  While nearly sold out, the new Pulte development called Regency still has 5 beautiful townhomes available for purchase.  The development, when completed, will have 149 homes.  Among the available 5 homes are the two models, fully decorated.  These are likely to sell soon, so if you’re interested I suggest you move quickly.

Westgate has cleared the final administrative hurdles, and it should get under way soon.  I walked over to the site this morning, and I see that the sales center is being developed.  This E. R. James Partners development will have 173 homes including 71 row homes, 68 Mews townhomes, and 34 single family homes.  The row homes and single family homes will have first floor master bedrooms making them particularly attractive to downsizing empty-nesters.  This development will be extremely popular.  Not only will this be the last new Glen development featuring single family homes, but E. R. James is known as a high quality builder.

If you are interested in Regency you should contact me now so that I can get you into the models and explain your options.  If Westgate strikes your fancy please let me know so that I can contact you at the appropriate time.  I can be reached at 847-401-1802 or margaretludemann@gmail.com.  Meanwhile you can learn more about these developments at www.homesintheglen.com.
