luxury homes

The Glen Club in The Glen. Great golf, dining and lodging.

by

Stunning!  That’s the view my husband and I had while dining at The Glen Club last weekend.  The club is in The Glen in Glenview, a development with luxury homes and an upscale retail area.  We ate on the patio and loved the serene and beautiful view of the course.

The Glen Club is well known and highly regarded. It’s an 18 hole championship course designed by the legendary Tom Fazio. The course is beautiful to look at and challenging to play. Golf Magazine has rated it the fourth best courses you can play in Illinois and among the Top 100 in the United States. When it opened in 2001 Sports Illustrated listed it as a top 10 new course. A stately 48,000 square feet clubhouse provides overnight lodging and first class dining. The club offers private corporate memberships, but it is also available to non-members.

Many Glen homes have great views of these picturesque golf courses. Fifty-five magnificent “estate” single family homes in the Southgate subdivision border The Glen Club’s course as do nine stunning townhomes in Tower Crossing. Several homes in the lovely Westgate and Patriot Commons neighborhoods also have great views.

If you are a golfer who may be interested in living in The Glen, please contact me for additional information. I am a long time Glen homeowner and an award winning Realtor.

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.

How The Glen Came to Be

by

The Glen is a wonderful place to live, shop and dine. It’s located on the grounds of the former Naval Air Station Glenview which operated here for a long time. We have over 2000 luxury homes, over 20 shops and boutiques, 17 restaurants and much more. But how did it come about? Well, here is the timeline:

1993:   The Navy announces that the air base will close.

1995:   A Consensus reuse plan is approved.

1996:   The Navy Department approves the transfer of the property to the Village of Glenview.

1997:   A Master Plan is completed including luxury housing, retail and commercial development along with a school, a lake, parks, and other open spaces.

1999:   The first parcel of land is sold. Shortly thereafter, residential construction begins on detached single family homes, townhomes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats and condos.

2003:   Glen Town Center (our “downtown”) opens.

2014:   The last parcel of land is sold.

2017:   The last “new construction” neighborhood is completed.

The end result is more than 2500 residential and senior units, 1 million square feet of retail, 1 million square feet of office and light industrial, and 400 acres of open space including two golf courses…The Glen Club and Glenview Prairie Club.

Golfing in The Glen

by

It’s spring, and that means golf.  Here in The Glen we are fortunate to have two – count them TWO – wonderful golf courses, both within walking distance of any Glen home.

A wonderful thing about living in The Glen is the availability of  The Glen Club and Glenview Prairie Club.  Both courses are of high quality and they are open to the public. The Glen is a Chicago area north shore residential and retail development.  There are over 2,000 luxury homes of all types, and home prices range from the $300’s to over $2 million.

The Glen Club is well known and highly regarded. It’s an 18 hole championship course designed by the legendary Tom Fazio. The course is beautiful to look at and challenging to play. Golf Magazine has rated it the fourth best courses you can play in Illinois and among the Top 100 in the United States. When it opened in 2001 Sports Illustrated listed it as a top 10 new course. A stately 48,000 square feet clubhouse provides overnight lodging and first class dining. The club offers private corporate memberships, but it is also available to non-member individual golfers.

The Glenview Prairie Club offers Paddle Tennis courts as well as golf. The course is meticulously maintained (by The Glen Club!), and it is beloved by Glen residents who prefer a shorter round of golf.

Many Glen homes have great views of these picturesque golf courses. Fifty-five magnificent “estate” single family homes in the Southgate subdivision border The Glen Club’s course as do nine stunning townhomes in Tower Crossing. Several homes in the lovely Westgate and Patriot Commons neighborhoods also have great views.
