Southgate on the Glen…huge single family homes and cozy row homes and villas

by

Southgate is a very high end residential community in The Glen, an upscale residential and retail development in Glenview, Illinois.

The Southgate neighborhood lies comfortably on 104 beautifully landscaped acres, and is home to 299 attached and detached homes of very quality. The property borders The Glen Club’s 18 hole championship golf course. Southgate has a private playground, multiple pocket parks, and a pedestrian path to Westbrook Elementary School. 642 adults and 413 children live in Southgate for a total of 1,055 total residents, making it the largest of the various Glen communities.

There are four housing types in Southgate. Here is a brief overview of each:

There are 55 custom, detached “estate” homes which border The Glen Club golf course. These properties are zoned R-3 (three homes per acre) so they offer very large yards. The homes are large, too, many over 5,000 square feet; and they sell at price points between about $1.6 and $2.7 million, though some have sold for more.

182 detached, single family homes – which the developer referred to as “semi-custom” – were extensively adapted and modified so that no two homes are identical. Zoning is R-4, four homes per acre. Most of these homes range between 3,000 and 4,500 square feet, and they typically sell between $1.3 and $1.6 million.

38 lovely row homes offer 1,585 to 1,919 square feet and two to three bedrooms. They typically sell in the $500s.

24 cozy villas are sized between 1,625 to 2,055 square feet, and they offer two or three bedrooms. Most of these homes sell in the $400s to low $500s.

Your Pie and Funtopia coming to the Glen

by

One of the wonderful things about living in The Glen (in Glenview, Illinois) is the vast array of fun things to do and great places to eat…all within a short walk of any home in the development. And there are two additions coming to Glen Town Center, the Glen’s “main street”.

Your Pie is coming soon, and it sure looks tasty, pardon the pun. Your Pie is a make-your-own pizza restaurant where you select the dough, sauce, cheese, and toppings. So you can make a pizza just the way you and your family like it. You can also make your own Paninis and salads. Gelato is on the menu, too, along with your choice of soft drinks or craft beer. I live in the Tower Crossing neighborhood of the Glen which is only a block away from what will soon be this great addition to the Glen. Not only am I excited about Your Pie, but so are my husband and son. OK, especially my son. (He’s a teenager with a teenager’s appetite!)

Funtopia will open in early 2016, and what a great addition to the Glen. Geared especially for kids, Funtopia will offer climbing, games, and a play area. More information will become available soon.

The Glen is a special place to live. There are numerous neighborhoods with every possible housing type including single family homes, townhomes, row homes, two-flats, and condos. The price points are in the $300s to over $2 million. But homeowners will tell you that their homes are only part of the enjoyment in living here. It’s the whole lifestyle…the boutiques, restaurants, movie theater, and bookstore. There is something for everyone in the Glen.

If you may be interested in living in the Glen, give me a call or send an email. I’ve lived here for 12 years, and I am a Glen-focused, award winning Realtor affiliated with @properties.
