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

June 25, 2019 by Margaret Ludemann

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.

Summer Concerts in The Glen and Greater Glenview

July 27, 2017 by Margaret Ludemann

Think of them as mini-Ravinias…without the crowds and parking hassles.  Let me explain.

Glenview has a lot to do and see any time of year, but in summer it really comes alive.  My daughter-in-law Jenny and her two kids are coming to town in a few days.  Naturally, we’ll go into the city to ride the Ferris Wheel, take pictures at The Bean and visit the Field Museum.  But after exhausting ourselves in Chicago and visits locally to Wagner Farm and The Grove, I’m looking forward to spending a family night at one of our town’s weekly outdoor concerts.

On Tuesday’s it’s hard to beat the Summer Sounds Series on the green space along Navy Boulevard in The Glen.  Kids will get their faces painted and will treasure balloon animals created just for them. And a band will play music that all can enjoy. Attendees can pick up some food at any one of the 17 Glen restaurants, and after the show go shopping in the various boutiques and stores in Glen Town Center.  These concerts attract homeowners from the roughly 2,000 homes in The Glen and from throughout Glenview.

And if it’s Wednesday, it’s Jackman Park for the park district’s Summer Concert Series, always a fun evening. Blankets will be spread on the ground for kids while moms and dads relax on lawn chairs.

These are not what you would call huge events.  In fact, calling them “concerts” is even a bit of an exaggeration.  Basically, they are down home get-togethers of friends and family…or you can think of them as community picnics with live music.  Whatever you call them, call them fun.

17 restaurants in Glen Town Center

March 3, 2017 by Margaret Ludemann

He couldn’t believe it.  Really, he couldn’t.

My family is hosting a Japanese exchange student for the next eight days.  He will be attending Glenbrook South, the incredible high school serving Glenview.  We picked him up yesterday and drove him to our home in The Glen, the North Shore’s premier lifestyle community.

After getting him settled in my husband, son and I took him out to dinner.  Of course he doesn’t know the restaurants in the area so we walked him down Tower Drive which is the main restaurant and shopping area in Glen Town Center.  There are 17 restaurants in this two block area, so he had quite a selection to choose from.  I’m not making that up.  It’s a half block from my front door to Tower Drive, and by walking for 5 minutes he had a choice of restaurants serving Italian, Greek, Irish, Thai, Japanese, Mexican and traditional American fare.  He couldn’t believe the number of restaurants and the variety of food all within a brief stroll.  I couldn’t understand what he was saying, but I could tell that he was amazed.

“Sato” chose Yardhouse, a great place with a large menu.  We thought he might choose Ra Sushi Bar & Restaurant, but he was in the mood for an American hamburger.  When his meal was served his eyes got really big because of the size of his burger.  He even took a picture of it to send back home.

After dinner we drove him around The Glen, and he got to see our many luxury homes…single family homes, townhomes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats.  These wonderful homes along with the upscale shopping and terrific Glen restaurants are what set The Glen apart.

If you may be interested in living in The Glen, give me a call.  I am an award winning Realtor and a long-time resident.

Walk to 15 restaurants in The Glen

September 8, 2016 by Margaret Ludemann

Let’s see, my son is at a school event until 9 p.m. My husband and I are tired tonight, and neither of us is in the mood to cook. What shall we do? Oh yeah, we live in The Glen where we can walk to fifteen restaurants. Not a typo. Fifteen places to eat within a couple of blocks of our home in The Glen!

The Glen is an upscale residential and retail development in Glenview Illinois, a close-to-Chicago, north shore suburban village. Early stages of development began about 16 years ago, and we still have some new construction in one of our nine Glen neighborhoods. The Glen community was inspired by the concept called new urbanism, a planning scheme that revives cities and reinvents suburbs. It’s based on the way cities and towns were built for centuries before the development of sprawling suburbs and cul-de-sacs. Homes in close proximity to shops, restaurants and services. More walking, less driving. Nearby public spaces. Everything within a ten minute stroll. That’s The Glen!

My family and I live in a townhome development, Tower Crossing, that borders Glen Town Center, our retail “main street”. Our choices tonight are varied. We can eat Thai, Italian, Mexican, sandwiches & wraps, burgers & fries, steaks, vegetarian or pizza. If I could convince my husband, we could even go to a sushi bar or to a wine bar with an upscale dining menu. (That’s my choice!) Here is a link to Glen Town Center’s website where you can find a list of all Glen restaurants and their menus. http://www.theglentowncenter.com/dine.html

If you may be interested in living in The Glen, please email me at margaretludemann@gmail.com or call me at 847-401-1802. I am an award winning Realtor focusing on the wonderful homes in The Glen.
