The Glen…Convenient to Everything

by

My husband and I recently purchased a condo in his home town of Omaha.  It’s for investment purposes, at least for now.  Someday way down the road after I retire, we may use it personally as well as keeping our home here in The Glen (in the north shore community of Glenview).

Why do I mention this?  Well, because we chose a location very much like The Glen.  By that I mean, the condo is within walking distance of restaurants, shopping, and a movie theater.  After living in The Glen, we couldn’t imagine spending time – full or part – in a place that doesn’t have this level of convenience.

Our Glen home is a half-block from a great pizza place, Your Pie.  Within the three-block long main street called Tower Drive, we have a choice of numerous restaurants, wonderful shops, Arclight Cinema, Kohl Children’s Museum, a laundry, ice cream parlor, Starbucks and so much more.  We can even walk to a Metra train station that gets us to Chicago’s loop in 30 – 45 minutes.  If I wasn’t a Realtor, I’m not sure we would even own a car.

So, if this sounds like a great place to live, give me a call.  There are many luxury home types currently for sale including single family, townhomes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats and condo/apartments.  Prices range from around $400,000 to over $2 million.  Certainly, you can find one that’s perfect for you.

Convenience

by

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.
