Glenbrook South High School receives a prestigious award…again!

by

The public high school serving students living in The Glen and greater Glenview is award-winning Glenbrook South High School.  Over the years it has received many awards for its excellence in educating area students from grades 9 through 12.  In fact, only two years ago software company Niche, using data from the U.S. Department of Education, analyzed and compared American high schools and named GBS the 30th best public high school in the country and the #1 high school for extracurricular activities.

Recently, GBS received yet another award.  It has been named a Project Lead The Way Distinguished School.  The award recognizes its successful efforts to increase student access, engagement, and achievement in its computer science, biomedical science and engineering program.  This is the second consecutive year that GBS has been recognized for this achievement.

As a Glen homeowner and parent of a GBS senior, I am very proud of our local high school.  In fact, the quality of area schools is the very reason why my family chose to move to The Glen 16 years ago.  The Glen is the upscale retail and housing development on the grounds of the former Naval Air Station Glenview.  We have beautiful homes of every kind with home prices ranging from the $300’s to over $2 million.  If your family has children, you should consider living here, too.  I am an award-winning local Realtor, and I would love to show you around.

Ya gotta see this Glen townhome!

by

3233 Coral is cool.  Really cool.  And it’s in The Glen, the north shore’s premier community for urban style living in the suburbs.  You can take it from me not only because I’m a Realtor, but also because I am a long time Glen homeowner.  This two-bedroom townhome is located in the highly sought-after Glen neighborhood of Regency.  It boasts stunning hardwood floors, top of the line stainless steel appliances, granite counters and a lot of natural light.  In addition to the two bedrooms and 2.1 bathrooms, you’ll find a lovely living room, nifty loft, sophisticated kitchen with an adjacent eating area and a deck for relaxing or grilling.  Exterior maintenance and snow removal are provided by the homeowner association.  Regency is close to Glen Town Center’s shops, restaurants and movie theater; and it is walking distance to two superb golf courses (The Glen Club and Glenview Prairie Club).  List price $400,000.
