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.

The Glen is America’s 7th fastest growing high-income neighborhood: Bloomberg

December 18, 2018 by Margaret Ludemann

Bloomberg, the prestigious business publication, today reported that The Glen has been the 7th fastest growing high-income neighborhood in America since 2000.  The Glen, on the grounds of the former Glenview Naval Air Station, is a wonderful retail and residential development in the Chicago north shore village of Glenview.  It is also my home.  I purchased a home here in the early days of the development back in 2003.  Here is a link to the Bloomberg article, and if you are interested in living in The Glen please let me know.

Westgate at the Glen Update

September 2, 2014 by Margaret Ludemann

It has been a couple of months since I last blogged about Westgate, the new construction housing development in The Glen in Glenview Illinois. At that time I told you about the “reservation event” which allowed early registrants to receive more information about the proposed development and arrange appointments with developer E.R. James Partners to select home types and locations. Two months later the vast majority of homes have been sold, though many are still available. Home construction has not yet begun, though as you can see from the attached photo, the builder has initiated grading. Work on underground infrastructure should begin soon.

Westgate, which is located on nearly 30 acres of land at the northwest corner of W. Lake Avenue and Shermer Road, offers 173 luxury homes. There will be 71 row homes, 68 mews townhomes, and 34 single family homes with first floor master bedroom suites. The development will have professionally landscaped common areas; and it will provide nearly maintenance-free living.

The early interest in Westgate suggests that this will be a popular addition to The Glen which already has 8 lovely neighborhoods with a wide variety of home types including single family, townhomes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats, villas, and condo apartments. In addition to beautiful homes the Glen offers two golf courses, upscale shopping, and over 20 restaurants in Glen Town Center. A local Metra station gets residents into downtown Chicago in 44 minutes. The development is also convenient to O’Hare International Airport by car.

If you are interested in living in The Glen, please contact me at 847-401-1802 or by email, margaret.ludemann@gmail.com.

The Glen, not just a home, a lifestyle

March 3, 2014 by Margaret Ludemann

The Glen in Glenview Illinois.  Perhaps you’ve driven through it at one time or another.  You’ve seen our lovely homes…townhomes, row houses, duplexes, two-flats, condominium apartments, and of course single family homes.  Many are quite large.  In fact the townhomes in our Tower Crossing neighborhood are between 3031 sq ft and 4105 sq ft.  These are townhomes!  And the single family homes in Southgate and Chapel Crossing are typically over 4000 sq ft.  Other homes in the Glen are more modest in size, and quite wonderful.  Some in our Cambridge neighborhood have lovely front porches, tidy back yards, and picket fences.  Yes indeed, we have homes!  1,255 of them currently with more on the way.

Our real estate market, however, is only part of the Glen’s story.  People select homes because they like their style and appearance.  But they select neighborhoods based on community lifestyle.  And that’s where The Glen really shines.  Whenever I meet a prospective home buyer I always point out that buying here is much more than buying a home, they are buying a vibrant lifestyle that is unequaled on Chicagoland’s North Shore.  Within walking distance of nearly every Glen home you can find scores of restaurants and shops, a book store, Glen 10 movie theater, art gallery, spa, heath club, Gallery Park, Lake Glenview, Kohl Children’s Museum, walking paths, jogging and biking trails, 2 golf courses, paddle ball courts, tennis courts, playgrounds, our own Metra station, and a feeling of…well, a feeling of community.

My neighbors in Tower Crossing, for instance, have what we call “mailbox parties”.  We drag out our tables and chairs, and set them up in our beautiful common area near our community mailboxes.  We share stories, catch up on one another’s lives, and enjoy the setting sun.  In winter our get-togethers move to one of our homes or perhaps to the Glenview Prairie Club (open to the public) across the street.

Here in the Glen we have the best of both worlds.  There is the vibrancy of urban living yet enveloped by the beautiful suburban setting of the North Shore.  If you would like to know more about living in the Glen please contact me.  I’ve been a homeowner here for over a decade, and I am a leading Realtor specializing in Glen homes.
