Gallery Park

The Glen is the place to be on the 4th of July

by

I love living in The Glen.  The beautiful homes.  The lovely neighborhoods.  Glen Town Center’s shopping, dining and entertainment.  And…the 4th of July festivities!!

This year, Gallery Park in The Glen will once again be ground zero for Glenview’s celebration.  Gallery Park is such a great place to enjoy on the 4th and every day.  There are huge green areas, playgrounds, tennis courts, jogging trails and Lake Glenview.

Festivities begin at 5pm with a DJ providing entertainment, and food trucks will be available for those not wishing to bring their own picnic.  At 7 p.m. the Glenview Concert Band will perform and I expect to hear stirring patriotic music.

Fireworks will be shot off from the middle of Lake Glenview beginning at about 9 p.m. and will last approximately a half hour.  It will be accompanied by a recorded musical score.

Many residents will come to Gallery Park for the festivities, and many others will enjoy it from their back yards or while enjoying outdoor dining in the many Glen restaurants or, in the case of nearby townhomes, from their roof top decks.

If you don’t know about The Glen, why not join us for the 4th of July. And if you like what you see, you may want to consider living here as I have for the last 16 years.  We have single family homes, town homes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats and condos.  Home prices range from the high $300s to over $2 million.  Give me a call if you would like to learn more about living in The Glen.

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.

Gallery Park makes living in The Glen even better

by

The Jewel of the Nile is a movie with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner.  It’s also an album by Nice & Smooth.  The Jewel of the Seas is a cruise ship.  Well, The Glen, a residential and retail development in Glenview Illinois, is not the Nile or a movie or a song or a ship…but we do have a jewel.  It’s called Gallery Park, smack dab in the middle of The Glen, for all to see, and all to enjoy.

Gallery Park was developed along with The Glen about 17 years ago, and it is a beloved spot for locals like me.  It is huge, and it offers so much.  There is a lovely lake (Lake Glenview) with fishing allowed in season.  It also has walking and jogging trails, soccer fields, and tennis courts.  When my son was a tyke he enjoyed Little Bear Garden and the water spray area.

The award-winning Glenview Park Center is located adjacent to the park, providing basketball courts, an indoor track, swimming, a water park, pre-school and a tremendous fitness center.

There are many great reasons to live in The Glen.  Gallery Park is but one of them.  We have lovely single family homes, townhomes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats and condos.  We have many to choose from right now.  And Glen Town Center’s restaurants and shops are walking distance from most anywhere in The Glen.  If you may want to live in The Glen, please give me a call at 847-401-1802.  I am an award-winning Realtor and long time Glen homeowner.

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.
