Regency

Ya gotta see this Glen townhome!

by

3233 Coral is cool.  Really cool.  And it’s in The Glen, the north shore’s premier community for urban style living in the suburbs.  You can take it from me not only because I’m a Realtor, but also because I am a long time Glen homeowner.  This two-bedroom townhome is located in the highly sought-after Glen neighborhood of Regency.  It boasts stunning hardwood floors, top of the line stainless steel appliances, granite counters and a lot of natural light.  In addition to the two bedrooms and 2.1 bathrooms, you’ll find a lovely living room, nifty loft, sophisticated kitchen with an adjacent eating area and a deck for relaxing or grilling.  Exterior maintenance and snow removal are provided by the homeowner association.  Regency is close to Glen Town Center’s shops, restaurants and movie theater; and it is walking distance to two superb golf courses (The Glen Club and Glenview Prairie Club).  List price $400,000.

Regency at The Glen…beautiful!

by

The Glen is a luxury residential and retail development in Chicago’s North Shore community of Glenview.  There are nine distinct private neighborhoods in The Glen.  Today, I want to tell you about Regency at the Glen.  This beautiful neighborhood is composed of 104 luxury townhomes, 38 ranch villas, and 2 single family homes.

Four dramatic two – three story townhome models are offered with 9’ ceilings, private decks, two or three bedrooms and 1523 to 1835 square feet.

There are two spectacular villa models offering one or two stories, two or three bedrooms, 9’ ceilings, granite counter tops, and 1883 – 2493 square feet.

Professional landscaping and attached garages are offered with each home.  The Regency neighborhood is only a few blocks from two magnificent golf courses. The Glen Club offers an 18-hole championship course designed by Tom Fazio. The Glenview Prairie Club is a 9-hole course; and it also offers paddle tennis which adjoins its new club house.

Regency is a short walk to Glen Town Center’s many shops, boutiques, restaurants, and Arclight movie theater. The Glen’s Metra station, with service to downtown Chicago, is but a three-minute drive or a 15-minute walk.

There are several lovely homes currently for sale in Regency.  Prices range from the $400s to $600s.  To learn more, please give me a call at 847-401-1802.  I am an award-winning Realtor and long time Glen resident.

Big award for The Glen

by

To the many attributes of The Glen add this: The project that created The Glen has just been recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its first-ever National Federal Facility Excellence in Site Reuse Award. Sure, it’s a long and confusing name, but the award is meaningful and important. Read on.

The Glen is a residential and commercial development in Glenview, Illinois on the grounds of the former Naval Air Station Glenview. It is comprised of over 2000 homes of all varieties including single family homes, townhomes, row homes, duplexes and condos. The Glen is also home to Glen Town Center which contains a multitude of wonderful restaurants, shops and a movie theater.

As I said, The Glen started as a naval air base. It was closed in 1993. The EPA partnered with the Village of Glenview to clean up the site and turn it over to the Village for development. The project was known as The Glen: From Runways to Streetscapes. Work on construction began in 1997, and it is largely complete. The first Glen homeowners took possession of their homes in 2001. The most recent, and perhaps last, housing development was completed last year; it’s known as Westgate at the Glen. It is one of several unique Glen neighborhoods including Southgate, Tower Crossing, Regency, Cambridge, Chapel Crossing, Glen Shore, Landings and Patriot Commons.

So, there is one more reason for those fortunate homeowners in The Glen to be proud…we are an award winning community. One that we admire and love.

76 home sales in The Glen in 2016

by

There were 76 home sales in The Glen in 2016, almost identical to the 78 sold in 2015.  The Glen is a residential and retail development in Glenview Illinois known for its luxury homes and Glen Town Center, the shopping and restaurant mecca of Chicagoland’s North Shore.  It resides on the former property of the Naval Air Station Glenview.

The Glen consists of about 1300 luxury homes in nine distinct neighborhoods, all within walking distance of Tower Drive, Glen Town Center’s “main street”.  All neighborhoods had sales last year.

The Cambridge neighborhood, consisting of single family homes, duplexes, two-flats and row homes, had 10 sales among its 279 properties.  Chapel Crossing, a development of 168 single family homes, had 3 sales.  Glen Shore (31 condo apartments) and Landings (143 single family homes) each experienced 4 sales, while Patriot Commons (condo apartments and townhomes), Southgate Townhomes (62 units), and the new Westgate development (171 row homes and single family homes) each had 5 sales.  There were 19 sales in Regency among its 142 townhomes, duplexes and single family homes.  Of the 237 single family homes in Southgate 10 sold, and among Tower Crossing’s 154 townhomes 11 were sold and another 11 were rented.

As you can tell by my last paragraph there is a large variety of home types and styles in The Glen.  Home prices last year ranged from $330,000 to well over $1 million.  So there is something here for everyone.  If you may be interested in The Glen, please call me at 847-401-1802 or email me at margaretludemann@gmail.com.  I lead The Glen Realty Group team, and would love to show you around.

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.
