New Census of The Glen in Glenview

October 15, 2018 by Margaret Ludemann

Each year a census is done of The Glen by the Village of Glenview.  The new census was released recently, and it is very interesting reading.  Here are the highlights:

  • There are 2,446 homes in The Glen.
  • 5,545 people live in the 14 Glen neighborhoods, 10 of which have privately-owned homes of many varieties including single family homes, townhomes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats and condos.
  • Of the 5,545 residents, 1,304 are children. 1,036 Glen kids are enrolled in schools, the others are not yet of school age.
  • 85% of Glen children are enrolled in Glenview’s award-winning public schools grades K – 12; that’s 885 kids.  15% of the school-aged children are in non-public schools; that’s 151.

The Glen is a wonderful place to live.  Home prices range from the high $300s to over $2 million.  Our Glen Town Center offers great places to eat, shop and be entertained.  We have our own Metra stop which gets residents to the Loop in 30 – 45 minutes depending on time of day.  And we’re under a half hour to O’Hare International Airport.

If you may be interested in living in The Glen, give me a call at 847-401-1802 or send me an email to margaretludemann@gmail.com.  I am a long time Glen homeowner and award-winning Realtor.

The Glen is still growing according to 2016 census

November 22, 2016 by Margaret Ludemann

The 2016 census for The Glen has just been released, and it is interesting reading. For instance it tells us that there are 5,504 residents residing in 2,453 homes in the 14 development areas (read: neighborhoods), as of August, 2016. Of these 5,000+ residents, 1,422 are children.

The total population is up by 305 residents (+5.8%) from 2015; and there are 230 more homes (+10.3%).  The Glen is still growing!

Each year the Village of Glenview (in Illinois) has this census done to calculate payments to various jurisdictions which provide services to Glen residents. So, for instance, the more children in schools means that the village owes more money to local school districts. Let’s dig a little deeper into the census results.

The 14 development areas include 10 with privately owned homes or rented single and multi-family homes. The other 4 include Navy housing and 3 senior housing communities. Navy? Yes, indeed. The Glen resides on the grounds of the former Naval Air Station Glenview; and there remain 112 housing units for Navy personnel of which there are 213 adults and 88 children.

In the 10 communities with privately owned and rental homes, there are 4,438 residents of which 1,310 (30%) are children.   Here is a breakdown by neighborhood:

Aloft: 181 apartments, 187 adults, 11 children

Cambridge: 244 homes, 477 adults, 194 children

Chapel Crossing: 167 homes, 420 adults, 270 children

Glenshore: 31 homes, 45 adults, 6 children

Landings (Concord): 143 homes, 348 adults, 215 children

Patriot Commons: 68 homes, 205 adults, 28 children

Regency: 146 homes, 292 adults, 97 children

Southgate: 299 homes, 666 adults, 383 children

Tower Crossing: 154 townhomes, 310 adults, 66 children

Westgate:  172 homes, 178 adults, 40 children

Of the 1,398 children in The Glen (including Navy housing), 1,109 are of school age. 83% attend public schools. 17% attend private schools. This last number is particularly interesting because in most suburban communities the percentage of children in private schools averages between 4% and 8%.

There is a great deal of additional information in this year’s census, and I will include more of it in future blogs.

Kids in The Glen

December 8, 2015 by Margaret Ludemann

Kids. Lots of them. Right here in The Glen!

In fact we have 1,336 children (ages birth through the 12th grade) in the 1,254 privately owned homes in this upscale residential and retail community in Glenview Illinois. As a long time Glen resident and as a Realtor who focuses heavily on The Glen, I know what a wonderful place this is for children. I have a 15 year old son who has grown up here, and he loves everything about it. Gallery Park, Lake Glenview, soccer fields, tennis courts, Kohl Children’s Museum, Arclight Movie Theater, and so much more.

We have eight developments with privately owned homes in The Glen, not counting Westgate which is under construction. Here is a breakdown of children in each:

Chapel Crossing: 167 homes 284 kids 1.7 kids p/home

Landings: 143 homes 236 kids 1.65 kids p/home

Southgate: 299 homes 413 kids 1.38 kids p/ home

Cambridge: 244 homes 234 kids 0.96 kids p/home

Regency: 148 homes 76 kids 0.51 kids p/home

Tower Crossing: 154 homes 73 kids 0.47 kids p/home

Patriot Commons: 68 homes 16 kids 0.24 kids p/home

Glen Shore: 31 homes 4 kids 0.13 kids p/home

Not surprisingly the developments with the most single family homes have the highest percentage of children p/home: Chapel Crossing and Landings. Southgate and Cambridge have a mix of single family homes and attached housing. On the other end of the spectrum, the developments with the most attached housing (mainly townhomes and condos) have the lowest percentage of children p/home: Tower Crossing, Regency, Patriot Commons and Glen Shore.

If you would like to know more about The Glen please give me a call.

Many neighborhoods and housing types in The Glen

February 17, 2015 by Margaret Ludemann

There are 1,255 privately owned homes in The Glen in Glenview, Illinois. I’m frequently asked questions about the Glen real estate market, and my answer often surprises people. I tell them that there is no Glen housing market. The fact is that there are ten real estate markets within the Glen development. Ten? Indeed, and here is what I mean.

The Glen is composed of ten neighborhoods built by several different developers. Each has its own unique characteristics. Different kinds of homes…such as single family homes, townhomes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats and condos. The homes are of vastly different sizes ranging from about 1200 to over 5,000 square feet. There is also great diversity in price points. They range from the mid-$300,000’s to well over $2 million. Because of these differences the demographics of Glen homeowners and prospective homeowners vary widely. Hence, ten unique Glen real estate markets.

The nine neighborhoods with completed homes (the 10th, Westgate, is currently under construction) are large…and small…and in between. By that I mean that, for example, Glen Shore has 31 homes while Cambridge has 244. Here is a list of the ten developments, along with the number of completed homes and home types in each.

Cambridge: 244 single family homes, townhomes, row homes, duplexes, and two-flats

Chapel Crossing: 167 single family homes

Glen Shore: 31 condo apartments

Landings: 143 single family homes

Patriot Commons: 68 completed townhomes and condo apartments; and more are under construction

Regency: 149 townhomes, attached villas (duplexes), and two single family homes

Southgate SFH: 237 single family homes

Southgate TH: 62 townhomes

Tower Crossing: 154 townhomes

The Westgate neighborhood will have 171 homes, a mix of single family, townhomes and row homes.

So you see, the great diversity of home types, sizes, and prices make The Glen an attractive choice for many different prospective buyers. If you are interested in living in The Glen, please contact me. I am an original Glen homeowner and a Realtor affiliated with @properties.

New census of The Glen tell us a lot about the homes, neighborhoods and residents

October 13, 2014 by Margaret Ludemann

The new census for The Glen has just been completed, and it is interesting reading. For instance it tells us that there are 4,960 residents residing in 2,221 homes in the 13 development areas (read: neighborhoods), as of August, 2014. Of these nearly 5,000 residents, 1,367 are children.

Each year the Village of Glenview (in Illinois) has this census done to calculate payments to various jurisdictions which provide services to Glen residents. So, for instance, the more children in schools means that the village owes more money to local school districts. Let’s dig a little deeper into the census results.

The 13 development areas include 9 with privately owned homes or rented single and multi-family homes. The other 4 include Navy housing and 3 senior housing communities. Navy? Yes, indeed. The Glen resides on the grounds of the former Naval Air Station Glenview; and there remain 112 housing units for Navy personnel of which there are 213 adults and 80 children.

In the 9 communities with privately owned and rental homes, there are 3,921 residents of which 1,287 (33%) are children.   Here is a breakdown by neighborhood:

Chapel Crossing: 167 homes, 368 adults, 277 children

Landings (Concord): 143 homes, 324 adults, 250 children

Southgate: 299 homes, 626 adults, 413 children

Cambridge: 244 homes, 481 adults, 200 children

Tower Crossing: 154 townhomes, 306 adults, 68 children

Patriot Commons: 68 homes, 122 adults, 23 children

Regency: 146 homes, 179 adults, 43 children

Aloft: 181 apartments, 185 adults, 10 children

Glenshore: 31 homes, 43 adults, 3 children

Of the 1,287 children in The Glen, 1,175 are of school age. 82% attend public schools. 18% attend private schools. This last number is particularly interesting because in most suburban communities the percentage of children in private schools averages between 4% and 8%. This variance is likely due to the economic standing of Glen residents. In other words, it is a development comprised largely of affluent families who can afford private education.

There is a lot of additional information in this year’s census, and I will include more of it in future blogs.
