Glenview Illinois

Glenbrook High School District, serving The Glen, named #1 in Illinois

August 8, 2019 by Margaret Ludemann

Yet another award for the high school serving The Glen and greater Glenview, Illinois!  In April, I wrote a blog about Glenbrook South High School receiving a Project Lead the Way Distinguished School Award.  Project Lead the Way is a non-profit that works with schools to promote excellence in computer science, engineering and bio-medical science.  A previous ranking by Niche.com named the school one of the top 30 in the country (the country!) and #1 for extracurricular activities.  Adding to those prestigious awards comes the recently announced recognition, also by Niche.com, naming Glenbrook High School District 225 as the best in Illinois with a rating of A+.

My son recently graduated from Glenbrook South High School, and he’ll be heading to college in a few weeks.  Those of us who live in The Glen are fortunate to have one of the best high schools in the nation to educate our children.  In fact, quality of schools was the principle reason my family moved here 16 years ago.

The Glen is a residential and retail development with luxury homes of all types including single family, town homes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats and condos.  If you want to learn more about living in The Glen and about homes for sale, please contact me.  I’m an award-winning Realtor focusing on Glen homes.

The Glen’s 40/20 Convenience Factor

July 8, 2019 by Margaret Ludemann

“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.

Watch FIFA’s Women’s World Cup soccer tournament in The Glen

June 3, 2019 by Margaret Ludemann

Elephant and Castle, a British themed pub/restaurant in The Glen, is the place to be to watch any or all of the 52 matches that will be televised from France.  The restaurant is all decked out for the tournament with “Football Lives Here” emblazoned on the windows and doors.  Of course, we Americans would call this “soccer”, but for the rest of the world it’s “football”.  The tournament starts June 7 and will run to the championship match on July 7.

Elephant and Castle is located in Glen Town Center, The Glen’s retail and restaurant “main street”.  It offers a large pub menu of great food and drink.  The Glen is a North Shore residential and retail development in Glenview, Illinois featuring hundreds of beautiful homes, great restaurants and boutique shopping.  You’ll find single family homes, townhomes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats and condos.

So, if you love football…uh “soccer”…come out to watch the best women’s teams of 24 countries compete.  And while you’re here, take a look at The Glen.  It’s a great place to live, and if you’re interested please give me a call.

Tower Crossing in The Glen checks all the boxes

February 18, 2019 by Margaret Ludemann

Hiding under my desk I found a newspaper article about townhomes.  I cut it out of the paper a couple of months ago.  Must have slipped off my desk.  Anyway, the writer* offered four recommendations for townhome buyers.  As I read it again, it occurred to me that that The Glen’s Tower Crossing townhomes checked each of the four boxes.

#1        PLACE A PREMIUM ON LOCATION    CHECK, Tower Crossing is in The Glen, a residential and retail development in Glenview Illinois.  The development has its own “Main Street” with shops, restaurants, and cinema.  Glenview offers award-winning schools and its own train station getting you to downtown Chicago in a little over half an hour.

#2        LOOK FOR A TOWNHOME WITH AN EXPANSIVE INTERIOR    CHECK, there are six models of townhomes ranging in size from 3032 sq ft to 4105 sq ft.  That’s big!

#3        DON’T TRADE OFF PARKING    CHECK, each of the 154 townhomes in Tower Crossing has its own 2+ car garage.

#4        LOOK FOR A HARMONIOUS COMMUNITY    CHECK, I’ve lived in Tower Crossing for 16 years, and my neighborhood is the friendliest place I’ve ever lived.  We have cookouts, picnics, cocktail parties, holiday get-togethers and much more.

So, as you can see, Tower Crossing checks all the boxes.  We are a harmonious community of large townhomes with attached parking; and we are walking distance to retail and a Metra train station.  Plus, our kids attend among great schools.

If you’re interested in this kind of townhome living, give me a call.  I am an award-winning @properties Realtor and resident of this remarkable community.

Glenview’s Wagner Farm hosts Farmers Markets Through October

September 25, 2018 by Margaret Ludemann

Wagner Farm’s Farmers Market in Glenview Illinois is a special treat for residents of The Glen.  Not only can we purchase wonderful, fresh food, but it provides us with an opportunity to mingle with neighbors and catch up on our families and activities.

It’s just a short drive from The Glen to Wagner Farm.  It is one of the few remaining farms in north suburban Cook County.  The Wagner family worked and lived on the farm until 1997 when the Glenview Park District purchased it for the benefit of Glenview and area residents.   It is preserved as a working farm to allow children to learn about farming and animals.  The district tells us that Wagner Farm is “where education meets history”.

There are many special events at Wagner Farm including picnics, barn dances, build-your-own scarecrow, a harvest bonfire, hayrack rides, and ice cream socials.  My family and I have taken advantage of many of these since we purchased our Glen townhome in the Tower Crossing neighborhood in 2003.  Our favorite activity, though, is the Wagner Farm Farmers Market which runs each Saturday morning from 8 a.m. to noon, mid-June through October.  The last one scheduled for this year is on October 27th.   In addition to the many booths and tables of farmers and local artisans, a musical artist or group performs; and local chefs perform cooking demonstrations using food from the market.  “The Green Table” is staffed by experts who provide education about sustainable living.

Wagner Farm is located at 1510 Wagner Road in Glenview, and parking is available across the street at Saints Peter and Paul Church.
