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.

Curious about Tower Crossing in The Glen?

August 28, 2018 by Margaret Ludemann

“Admit it.  You’re curious.”  So said the sign draped over the Optima condo complex in Skokie.  The building looks like it’s all glass, and indeed whenever I drove on I-94, I was curious.

The same goes for a terrific neighborhood in The Glen (in Glenview, Illinois, called Tower Crossing.  The development is adjacent to Glen Town Center’s many shops and restaurants.  There are 154 four-story Georgian brick townhomes in Tower Crossing, and as a homeowner I’ve seen countless people stare at these wonderful homes with obvious curiosity.  They don’t look like most townhomes.  First of all, they are huge, ranging in size from 3031 sq ft to 4105 sq ft.  Much larger than most townhomes! And the brick designs of the six models are creative and quite different than any townhome complex I’ve ever seen.

One day I was sitting on my front porch when a passerby asked me what level of my home I live on.  Huh?  I explained that the entire home was a single unit.  She didn’t believe me.  She speculated whether each townhome had three or four apartment units.  I explained that every Tower Crossing property, regardless of model, was a single unit with four stories.  She said I was wrong.  Even though I’ve lived in my townhome for 15 years, and as a Realtor who has sold more Tower Crossing homes than any other realtor, I explained that I knew everything about every model…and all were individual homes. For some reason she couldn’t get her brain around that one.

While many people are curious about Tower Crossing, my neighbors and I know that this is a great place to live.  Our homes are beautiful inside and out.  Most have three bedrooms, though some have two and others have four.  We can walk easily and quickly to all of The Glen’s restaurants, shops, Arclight Cinema and the local Metra train station.  It’s kind of like urban living, but in the suburbs with great schools and easy access to downtown Chicago and O’Hare airport.

If you, like so many people who walk around my neighborhood, are curious, let me show you some of the homes that are for sale or rent.  Tower Crossing prices range from in the $600’s to over $800,000.  Just send me an email at margaretludemann@gmail.com or call me at 847-401-1802

Glenview, one of the safest cities in the U.S.

February 25, 2016 by Margaret Ludemann

Safety. You’ll find few other factors more important to home buyers. And here’s some great news for homeowners in The Glen, a residential and retail development in Glenview, Illinois. Glenview is ranked the 37th safest city in the United States!

OK, let’s put that in perspective. According to U.S. Census Bureau statistics, there are 19,354 incorporated communities in the country. So, Glenview is in the top 0.0019% of American cities in safety. Rare air, indeed.

So, where did this ranking come from? As you know, lists of ‘top this’ and ‘top that’ appear regularly, often from sources with, shall we say, ulterior motives and questionable credibility. But that’s not the case here. Neighborhood Scout is a national neighborhood search engine and provider of location-based analytics for real estate investors, mortgage professionals, and home buyers.

The rankings are determined by factoring in data from over 18,000 law enforcement agencies, and ratings are assigned for various types of crime, such as murder, robbery, assault, burglary, and theft. Looking at the list of the Top 100 safe cities, we find that the safest places to live are in areas where residents can afford to relocate for quality of life. These tend to be bedroom communities near major cities, with low unemployment, high educational attainment, and great schools such as those found in Glenview. (In a future blog, I’m going to analyze Glenbrook South High School’s recent high ranking.)

So, if you are a resident of The Glen, rest easy…you’re in a great place. If you are considering buying a home in the Chicago area, take a look at The Glen. I am an award-winning Realtor and a long-time Glen homeowner, so give me a call.
