Living in The Glen’s Tower Crossing neighborhood

June 26, 2018 by Margaret Ludemann

I live in Tower Crossing in The Glen.  I do.  And I love it.  Always have.  Always will.

I moved here to Glenview in the relatively early days of The Glen development back in 2003.  In fact, my gorgeous townhome is on Lot #1 of the Tower Crossing neighborhood, one of 9 distinct developments in The Glen.  Some Glen neighborhoods have single family homes, others offer row homes, two-flats, duplexes and condos.  That’s my townhome in the photo, the end unit on the right.  Four stories, 3 bedrooms, 3.1 bathrooms, 2 fireplaces, a luxurious kitchen…and a whole bunch of fun.

Fun?  Yes fun!  I can easily walk to Glen Town Center’s many shops, restaurants and movie theater.  In fact, there’s a great little pizza place, Your Pie, a half block from my front door.  (I should count the number of steps someday.)  The Glen Metra station is a 10-minute stroll, and I have a big park nearly across the street.  It’s a lot like living in the city where we used to live, but…it has wonderful attributes of the suburbs, too.  Get this, I have two golf courses a block from my home.  Two!  The park has walking and biking trails.  The schools are incredible.  I mean REALLY incredible, award-winning schools.  I can get to O’Hare in 20 minutes by car, and the Loop in 45 minutes by train.  You can’t beat it.

If this is the kind of place you might like to live, give me a call at 847-401-1802 or email me at MargaretLudemann@cbexchange.com.  I’m an award-winning Realtor who knows The Glen inside and out.  There are several stunning Tower Crossing homes for sale and some great homes in other Glen neighborhoods, too.

The Glen has homes for sale. Yes it does. And they’re really cool.

June 18, 2018 by Margaret Ludemann

It’s not true.  At least not in The Glen.  If you’re like me you’ve seen countless articles about how few homes are listed for sale.  Housing inventory, they say, can’t meet demand.  Well, here in The Glen we have plenty of great homes for sale.

That’s not to say there isn’t demand.  Home buyers love The Glen as do those of us who are fortunate to live here.  The Glen, in Glenview Illinois, is a very popular place to live, work and play.  We have single family homes, townhomes, row homes, duplexes, and condos.  Home prices range from the high $300’s to over $1 million.  So whatever home style or price you may be looking for we probably have some homes on the market right now that you would love.

Glenview is a close-in suburb of Chicago.  It is its own North Shore village, but taking the train from The Glen’s Metra station will get you downtown in 30 – 45 minutes depending on time of day.  So, living in The Glen gives you the best of both worlds…Chicago’s buzz…and suburban space and great schools.

Life in The Glen is a bit like living in the city.  We have our own downtown called Glen Town Center with shops, restaurants and a movie theater.  You can walk to them from most any home in The Glen.  Yet we also have two golf courses, Gallery Park with walking and biking trails, Lake Glenview for fishing, a fitness center and playgrounds galore.

So, if this is the kind of lifestyle you’re looking for, give me a call.  I’m an award-winning Realtor who lives in and loves The Glen.

Urban living in the suburbs…Glen Town Center in The Glen

May 29, 2018 by Margaret Ludemann

May was confused this year. Very confused. It couldn’t decide if it was spring or summer. Winter even. But when we got a few nice days I saw something that warmed my heart…outdoor tables and chairs in Glen Town Center. sigh…

Glen Town Center was one of the first of a new concept in suburban living in what we know as The Glen in Glenview Illinois. Think of The Glen as an urban neighborhood smack dab in the middle of a Chicago area suburb. 2000 townhomes, row homes, duplexes, condos and single family homes, and a fresh-from-scratch retail village at the center of it all. Casual and fancy-schmancy dining with a wide variety of cuisine including Italian, Thai, Greek, Irish, Japanese fusion, Mexican and American. There’s also a coffee shop, ice cream parlor, cookie shop, wine bar, sandwich shops, juice bar and yogurt…and much more. Whether you want burgers or chateaubriand, sushi or pizza, bangers & mash or tacos, lamb or salmon – or just a salad and a cocktail Glen Town Center has it all. And it’s within walking distance of any home in The Glen. You can eat in or eat out. Up to you.

Maybe you want to do a little shopping. Glen Town Center has that, too. Upscale boutiques abound along with a really cool bookstore. There are larger stores, too, like Von Maur and Dick’s Sporting Goods. It’s fun you want? Try our wonderful movie theater, cooking school, art and ceramics studios or, for the kids, Funtopia.

If this sounds like a great place to live you’re right. I can speak from experience as I’ve lived here since the beginning of the development. Let me know if you would like to live here, too. I am an award winning Realtor and Glen booster. Give me a call, and I’ll show you around.

The Glen’s Annual Art Fair…a big success once again

August 11, 2017 by Margaret Ludemann

The annual Glen Art Fair was held last weekend, and it was a great success again this year.  Artists from throughout the United States displayed their beautiful works of art; in fact I met artists from California to New York.  As always, this fun event took place on Tower Drive, Glen Town Center’s main drag; and it seemed to me that we had more visitors than in any previous year.

The Glen is the North Shore’s premier lifestyle community, meaning it has stunning homes, 17 restaurants, upscale shopping, jogging trails, golf courses, tennis courts, and a picturesque lake.  It is located on the site of the former Glenview Naval Air Station in Glenview, Illinois, approximately 18 miles north of downtown Chicago.

Visitors to the fair were treated to art of many genres including paintings, photography, sculpture, glass works, folk art, crafts, cartooning, and digital art. I live only one block from Glen Town Center in The Glen’s Tower Crossing neighborhood, so it was easy for me to come and go several times over the weekend.  I purchased several items related to “home” that I’ll give to my real estate clients.

All of this will happen again next August, and I’m already looking forward to it.  You should check it out, too.  You’ll enjoy it as much as those of us who are fortunate homeowners and residents of The Glen. And if you might be interested in living in the Glen, please give me a call. I am a local Realtor who specializes in Glen properties – single family homes, row homes, town homes, two flats, duplexes and condos.

Luxury homes of different types, styles and prices are available in The Glen

January 23, 2017 by Margaret Ludemann

The Glen in Glenview Illinois is a housing and retail development with a large variety of home types and prices. I’ve lived here since 2003, and I focus my real estate practice largely in this wonderful community. Part of the lure of The Glen is its convenience to downtown Chicago, barely 40 minutes by train from our local Metra station, an easy walk from any of our homes. Another great benefit is Glen Town Center with scores of restaurants and shops. But this blog isn’t about transportation or shopping. Instead, I want to tell you about our homes.

We have over a thousand luxury homes in The Glen including single family homes, row homes, townhomes, duplexes, two-flats and condos. Their sizes range between about 1,200 to 5,000 square feet. So it’s a great place to live for an individual or for large families. There are ten distinct Glen neighborhoods, each with different housing styles. There are colonial, contemporary, Georgian, and many other architectural designs. The common elements in all are luxury and beauty.

There is also great variety in home prices. Condos and townhomes start in the $300’s. Single family homes start in the $700’s, and those on The Glen Club’s championship golf course can be over $2 million. There is even some new construction still available.

I am an award-winning Realtor affiliated with @properties. My Glen Realty Group is focused on the sale of new and existing homes in this very special community. If you may be interested in a Glen home, please call me at 847-401-1802 or email me at margaretludemann@gmail.com.
