New construction homes still available in The Glen

by

While The Glen has been around for about 15 years, there are still new construction homes available.  The newest development is called Westgate at The Glen.  Edward R. James Partners is the developer, and construction began two years ago.  As of this date, 90% of the homes have sold which means there is still an opportunity to purchase a beautiful new home in the ever popular Glen community.

The Glen is the premier lifestyle community on the North Shore in Glenview, Illinois.  It offers several residential neighborhoods in addition to Westgate and is anchored by Glen Town Center which has numerous restaurants, shops, a book store, coffee shop, and a movie theater.

Westgate is located adjacent to the Regency neighborhood of townhomes and villas just north of West Lake Avenue and west of Shermer Road.  This places it immediately across Shermer from Glenview Prairie Club Golf Course and across West Lake from The Glen Club, an 18 hole championship golf course.  It is near Southgate at the Glen which was also developed by the James team.  Westgate is convenient to Glen Town Center, Gallery Park, Attea Middle School, and the Glen’s Metra train station.

Westgate, when completed, will have 173 homes:  71 row homes, 68 Mews townhomes, and 34 single family homes.  The single family homes and row homes are configured with first floor master bedrooms; they have two stories.  The townhomes have three stories with all bedrooms on the top floor.  The row homes facing Shermer have golf course views.

The development has lovely common areas; and it is intended to provide “nearly maintenance-free” living.

Glen Town Center to get a nice facelift in 2016

by

The Glen is about to receive a very nice upgrade in 2016. The Glen is an upscale residential and retail development in Glenview Illinois on property that was once a naval airbase. It was developed beginning in 2010, and it continues today with new homes still being constructed.

I live a half block from The Glen’s main shopping and eating area called Glen Town Center. It’s filled with scores of boutiques and eateries as well as a theater, coffee house, and book store. Over time some parts of the sidewalks have shown their wear as freezing and thawing have done minor damage. And some of the trees along Tower Drive, the main street through the area, have suffered, too. Don’t get me wrong, the place still sparkles…I mean it looks TERRIFIC…but it’s going to look even better!

The updating planned for next year will feature new sidewalks, trees, other landscaping, and signage. My neighbors join me in my excitement for this project which will add to the already strong appeal for shoppers, diners, current residents, and yes to those who are considering living in The Glen. Plans have been created, vetted and approved by the Village Trustees. Work will being in March, and completion is forecast for September.

If you haven’t been to The Glen I urge you to stop by for a meal and shopping. If you’ve been here before I suggest you think about making it your home. We have single family homes, townhomes, row homes, two flats, duplexes, and condos. Home prices range from the high $300s to over $2 million.
