Glen neighborhoods

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.

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.

by

Living in The Glen (in Glenview Illinois) means having a lovely home, wonderful restaurants within walking distance, great shopping, Arclight Cinema and fun activities.  As I’ve said so often about The Glen…it’s about the lifestyle.  Glen Town Center is the hub of Glen living.  It’s a shopping, dining and entertainment mecca.  Today I want to tell you about the entertainment coming to GTC over the next few weeks.

The Summer Sounds series continues with outdoor music provided by terrific bands.  These are Tuesday evening events where residents (and others) can bring a blanket and have a picnic while enjoying the entertainment.  On July 31st Tainted Jack will perform, followed by Rico on August 7th.  Future performances will include, The Windy City Rev Up, Libido Fund Circus and the Victor Brown Band.

On August 2nd, the Story Time at The Book Market program continues with a 10:30 a.m. event for kids.  Children’s author Patricia Murphy will take the kids on a fun journey through interactive numbers, shapes, stories and activities.

The annual Art at The Glen extravaganza is scheduled for the weekend of August 4 & 5 when scores of artists will be on hand showing off (and selling) their marvelous works of art.

And on August 11th the Glen’s Puppet Theater Series will enthrall kids with a show titled Three Billy Goats Gruff, presented by The Creventive (not a typo) Puppet Company.

So, please join Glen residents for one or more of these great entertainment events.  And if this is the kind of lifestyle you want for your family, give me a call at 847-401-1802.  I am an award-winning Realtor and long time Glen homeowner.  I would be delighted to show you the various Glen neighborhoods filled with upscale housing including single family homes, townhomes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats and condos.  Home prices range from the high $300s to over $2 million.  You can also reach me by email at MargaretLudemann@gmail.com.
