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

by

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.

Gallery Park makes living in The Glen even better

by

The Jewel of the Nile is a movie with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner.  It’s also an album by Nice & Smooth.  The Jewel of the Seas is a cruise ship.  Well, The Glen, a residential and retail development in Glenview Illinois, is not the Nile or a movie or a song or a ship…but we do have a jewel.  It’s called Gallery Park, smack dab in the middle of The Glen, for all to see, and all to enjoy.

Gallery Park was developed along with The Glen about 17 years ago, and it is a beloved spot for locals like me.  It is huge, and it offers so much.  There is a lovely lake (Lake Glenview) with fishing allowed in season.  It also has walking and jogging trails, soccer fields, and tennis courts.  When my son was a tyke he enjoyed Little Bear Garden and the water spray area.

The award-winning Glenview Park Center is located adjacent to the park, providing basketball courts, an indoor track, swimming, a water park, pre-school and a tremendous fitness center.

There are many great reasons to live in The Glen.  Gallery Park is but one of them.  We have lovely single family homes, townhomes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats and condos.  We have many to choose from right now.  And Glen Town Center’s restaurants and shops are walking distance from most anywhere in The Glen.  If you may want to live in The Glen, please give me a call at 847-401-1802.  I am an award-winning Realtor and long time Glen homeowner.

High school serving The Glen is in the top 0.001% in USA

by

Glenbrook South High School (GBS) is the public high school serving kids in The Glen and greater Glenview.  The Glen is the upscale retail and housing development on the grounds of the former Naval Air Station Glenview.  Over 1300 children of all ages live in The Glen, and 379 attend GBS.

GBS was recently ranked as one of the top high schools in the country!  Niche is a Pittsburgh based company whose analytics identify and rank schools and neighborhoods.  Information is gathered to determine school rankings by compiling data which is collected and monitored by the U.S. Department of Education.  GBS ranked #30 of the more than 26,000 public high schools in the country.  My calculator tells me that this equates to the top 0.001%.  Lotta zeros there!  And it was just last year that Niche ranked GBS as the #1 high school in America for extracurricular activities which include clubs, organizations, music groups and athletic teams.

I’m fortunate that my son is a GBS Titan.  He’s getting an excellent education, and takes part in numerous activities.  I’m proud of him.  I’m proud of GBS.  And I’m proud to live in The Glen.

If you may be interested in living here, too, please contact me.  We have luxury homes of all kinds…single family homes, townhomes, row homes, condos, duplexes and two-flats.  Home prices range from the $300’s to over $2 million.
