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

September 27, 2019 by Margaret Ludemann

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.

New Census of The Glen in Glenview

October 15, 2018 by Margaret Ludemann

Each year a census is done of The Glen by the Village of Glenview.  The new census was released recently, and it is very interesting reading.  Here are the highlights:

  • There are 2,446 homes in The Glen.
  • 5,545 people live in the 14 Glen neighborhoods, 10 of which have privately-owned homes of many varieties including single family homes, townhomes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats and condos.
  • Of the 5,545 residents, 1,304 are children. 1,036 Glen kids are enrolled in schools, the others are not yet of school age.
  • 85% of Glen children are enrolled in Glenview’s award-winning public schools grades K – 12; that’s 885 kids.  15% of the school-aged children are in non-public schools; that’s 151.

The Glen is a wonderful place to live.  Home prices range from the high $300s to over $2 million.  Our Glen Town Center offers great places to eat, shop and be entertained.  We have our own Metra stop which gets residents to the Loop in 30 – 45 minutes depending on time of day.  And we’re under a half hour to O’Hare International Airport.

If you may be interested in living in The Glen, give me a call at 847-401-1802 or send me an email to margaretludemann@gmail.com.  I am a long time Glen homeowner and award-winning Realtor.

Convenience

March 26, 2018 by Margaret Ludemann

Unless you live in a very small town, odds are that you need to drive to most everything. Contrast that with the convenience of The Glen in Glenview Illinois where residents can walk to shopping, dining, recreation, entertainment, public transportation and even medical care.

Glen Town Center, walkable from any home in The Glen, is The Glen’s “main street” filled with restaurants, ice cream parlors, coffee shops, a book store, Arclight Movie Theater and tons of shopping in stores large and small.

But that’s only the tip of the iceberg. Consider this. Folks lucky enough to live in The Glen can also walk to two golf courses. Two! And to Gallery Park’s jogging trails, tennis courts and fishing in Lake Glenview. Take the kids to Kohl Children’s Museum or Funtopia or to The Book Market’s Puppet Theater and Story Time.

Walk to Park Center, our local fitness facility that also offers basketball courts, pre-school and summer camps. We have an award-winning middle school here in The Glen, too. And in summer time residents walk to our several festivals and to our weekly summer outdoor concerts.  If you want to go to Chicago‘s many attractions (or to work) just stroll over to our Metra train station.

The Glen also has many doctors, dentists and even a fully functioning health clinic.

Does all of this sound too good to be true? Well, unless you live here it probably does. If you are interested in living in The Glen please give me a call. I am a long time Glen homeowner and a Realtor selling Glen homes.

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.

Summer in Glenview means outdoor dining in The Glen

June 13, 2017 by Margaret Ludemann

A couple of months ago I wrote a blog about the unofficial – but very real – sign of spring in Glenview, the opening of the Glenview Dairy Bar. Well, there’s also a sign of summer, and its right here in The Glen…outdoor dining in Glen Town Center.

We have 17 restaurants in The Glen, popular with locals and with people from throughout Chicagoland‘s North Shore. My sister and two nieces visited from out of town last weekend. We walked through Glen Town Center from our Tower Crossing townhome, barely a block away. We passed outdoor diners at Your Pie (a great little pizza place), State and Main, Flight Wine Bar, Ra Sushi Bar & Restaurant, Uno Mas, Bravo Cucina Italiana, Yardhouse, and several more wonderful restaurants. We decided on Curragh Irish Pub. The food was terrific, but the ambiance of dining outdoors on a lovely summer evening was even more so.

One of the great things about living in The Glen is our proximity to restaurants, shops, Arclight Cinema, and so much more. In fact, you can walk to Glen Town Center from any of the homes in The Glen whether they be single family homes, row homes, duplexes or condos. In many ways it’s like living in the city, though with less traffic and noise. In fact, we refer to The Glen lifestyle as “urban living in the suburbs”. The best of both worlds! And if we want to actually go to the city, our local Metra can get to the loop in 30 to 45 minutes.

So, stop by for dinner sometime. You’ll enjoy the food and fall in love with our community. And if you do, give me a call. I am an award winning Realtor who lives in and focuses on Glen homes.
