Large single family homes in Southgate in The Glen

by

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.

Cambridge at The Glen offers a large variety of home types

by

The Glen in Glenview Illinois is an upscale residential and retail development on the grounds of a former Navy air station. It is composed of several neighborhoods, each with its own particular character. Cambridge at the Glen is unique among the Glen neighborhoods because it has the greatest variety of home types.

There are 279 homes in the Cambridge development which consists of single family homes, duplexes, townhomes, row homes and two-flats. Most of the other neighborhoods have only one or perhaps two home types. Here is a breakdown of the number of luxury homes by type in Cambridge:

  • 108 townhomes and row homes
  • 104 traditional single family homes
  • 19 estate-style single family homes
  • 35 duplexes
  • 13 two-flats

All homes in Cambridge are within walking distance of Glen Town Center’s many shops and restaurants. You can also walk to Gallery Park, two golf courses, and Kohl Children’s Museum. Cambridge is also the closest of the Glen neighborhoods to The Glen’s Metra Station that can get you to downtown Chicago in 31 to 44 minutes depending on time of day.

Home prices in Cambridge range from the $400’s to over a million dollars. There is also great diversity in the sizes of these homes, from less than 2,000 square feet to more than 4,000 square feet. The large estate homes and striking townhomes grace a grand boulevard in the center of Cambridge, while charming Rockwellian “front porch Americana” homes adorn smaller side streets with names like Butterfly Lane and Sundrop Drive.  Tasteful landscaping enhances the beauty of the Cambridge neighborhood and of each home.

Diverse home types at Cambridge at The Glen

by

Cambridge is the most architecturally diverse neighborhood in The Glen. Most Glen neighborhoods are composed of either traditional single family homes (such as Southgate, Chapel Crossing, and Landings) or attached properties (such as Tower Crossing’s townhomes and Glenshore’s condos). In Cambridge, however, you have more choices.

A little background. The Glen is a luxury residential and retail development on the grounds of the former Navy airbase in Glenview Illinois which closed in 1995. It is composed of nine neighborhoods with privately owned homes, plus assisted care and retirement communities. The neighborhoods with privately owned homes have over 2,000 residents. Glen Town Center, The Glen’s popular retail area, offers scores of restaurants and shops…convenient to all homes in the development. Two outstanding golf courses, including The Glen Club‘s 18 hole championship course designed by Tom Fazio, are adjacent to The Glen.

Back to Cambridge. This neighborhood has 279 beautiful homes; here is the breakdown by home type:

  • 108 townhomes and row homes
  • 104 traditional single family homes
  • 35 duplexes
  • 13 two-flats
  • 19 estate-style single family homes

Home prices in Cambridge range from the $400’s to over a million dollars. There is also great diversity in the sizes of these homes, from less than 2,000 square feet to more than 4,000 square feet. The large estate homes and striking townhomes grace a grand boulevard in the center of Cambridge, while charming Rockwellian “front porch Americana” homes adorn smaller side streets with names like Butterfly Lane and Sundrop Drive.  Tasteful landscaping enhances the beauty of the Cambridge neighborhood and of each home.

Cambridge at The Glen is about living the good life …comfortably, conveniently and fully. If you may be interested in The Glen, please contact me. I have been a Glen homeowner since 2003; and I am an award-winning north shore Realtor.
