Glen Town Center

Townhomes with lots of green space

by

Hey city dwellers!  Want to keep the city feel, but escape the high concentration of people during Covid?  I have the perfect solution for you.  It’s called Tower Crossing in The Glen in Glenview, an upscale suburb of the Chicago metropolitan area.

Tower Crossing is a development with 154 large townhomes with significant green space.  Not only does it have its own large common areas, but it resides directly across Patriot Boulevard from a huge public park and lake, and it’s only a short walk to two outstanding golf courses.

You will still get the convenience of city living because no Tower Crossing home is more than a block from Glen Town Center which is filled with shops, restaurants, coffee shops and a movie theater.  It’s the best of both worlds.

There are several models of Tower Crossing homes and they range in size from 3031 square feet to 4105 square feet.  These are sizable homes.  And they are stunning!  All brick exteriors.  Georgian architecture.  High ceilings, striking wood floors, and luxurious amenities throughout.  Prices range from the $600s to $800s.

If you would like to learn more about city living in the suburbs, give me a call.  I am a knowledgeable Realtor and long time Tower Crossing homeowner.

Townhomes are the fastest growing of new homes in the U.S.

According to the National Association of Homebuilders, townhomes are now the fastest-growing segment of the single family housing construction market.  The association is a trade group representing homebuilders throughout the United States.

Roughly half of the homes in The Glen of Glenview, Illinois are townhomes.  Some were built in the early years of the development, about twenty years ago.  Some are very new, having been completed in the last couple of years.

Townhomes in The Glen range in size from about 1300 sq ft to over 4100 sq ft.  (Yes, over 4100 sq ft!)  The prices range from the $300s to the low $800s.  There are 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes.

The Glen offers many amenities to homeowners including two golf courses, a local train station to downtown Chicago, parks, playgrounds, Lake Glenview, a Park Center gym, a movie theater and Glen Town Center with numerous shops and restaurants.

I’ve been a Glen homeowner for 16 years, and I love it.  If you may be interested in a home in The Glen, please give me a call.  I am an award-winning Realtor who specializes in Glen homes.

The Glen’s 40/20 Convenience Factor

by

“I used to think I knew Glenview.  But I did NOT know Glenview.”  That was what my new’ish neighbor said to me recently.  He and his wife moved into The Glen late last year.  The Glen is a luxury housing development in Glenview, Illinois, a North Shore Chicago suburb.  They love their beautiful home and the short walk to Glen Town Center’s many restaurants, shops and movie theater.  But his point was a bigger one.  Let’s call it the 40/20 convenience factor.

The Glen’s Metra train station (shown in photo) is walking distance from any home in The Glen, and – here’s my neighbor’s point – it’s only 40 minutes to downtown Chicago.  Less than that during some morning and evening rush hour trains.  And what really blew him away is that O’Hare International Airport is only about 20 minutes by car.  Really!  I’m not kidding!  My neighbor is a business exec, and he frequently goes into the city or to the airport for business trips.  Living in The Glen made his commutes much faster and easier.

There are many more advantages to living in The Glen, especially the variety of home types.  We have single family homes, townhomes, row homes, duplexes and condos.  Give me a call and I’ll tell you about them.  I’m a long time Glen homeowner and an award-winning Realtor who focuses on The Glen.

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.
