If you don’t know about The Glen, you’re in for a very pleasant surprise.  It is a retail and residential development in Glenview, and it’s like no other.  It is popular for many reasons including Glen Town Center (shopping, dining, entertainment), two golf courses (The Glen Club, Glenview National 9), the Park Center, Kohl Children’s Museum, and several beautiful neighborhoods (Cambridge, Chapel Crossing, Glen Shore, Landings in The Glen, Patriot Commons, Regency at The Glen, Southgate, Tower Crossing and Westgate), and 700 beautiful single family homes.  Today, though, I want to tell you about the many townhomes, row homes, villas, duplexes, two-flats and condos in The Glen.

Tower Crossing…REALLY big townhomes

by

Ever heard of a townhome with over 4,000 square feet? I didn’t think so. Well, unless you live in Tower Crossing in The Glen, home to 154 townhomes ranging in size from 3,031 to 4,105 square feet, depending on the model. It’s not only a cool place…it’s MY cool place. I’ve lived here since 2003 when the first units were built.

The Glen is the luxury residential development in Glenview, Illinois built on the grounds of the former Naval Air Station Glenview. It consists of about 2,100 homes and nearly 5,000 residents in several unique Glen communities. There are single family homes, townhomes, row homes, two-flats, duplexes, condos, and rental apartments. Oh, there are also two retirement communities.

Tower Crossing offers six basic models, two major variations of certain models, and more options and upgrades than you can count. So, truly, no two homes are alike. The majority of these luxury homes have three bedrooms, but there are plenty with four as well. We even have a few with two and (gulp) five bedrooms. All are brick homes with four stories. All have private decks, some also have elevators, private yards, and patios. Tower Crossing borders Glen Town Center with its many shops, boutiques, and restaurants. Some also border The Glen Club, an award-winning 18-hole championship golf course. So, homeowners have everything within a few steps. Wait a minute. Not everything. You actually have to walk about 8 minutes to The Glen Metra Station with convenient train service to the city (downtown Chicago).

If you’re curious about Tower Crossing you can go to www.TowerCrossingHomes.com or give me a call at 847-401-1802. Not only do I live in Tower Crossing, but I am an award winning Realtor who specializes in Glen homes.

Huge luxury townhomes at Tower Crossing in the Glen

by

I frequently receive calls from home buyers interested in The Glen (in Glenview Illinois) who want large homes but without the maintenance of grass to mow and walks to shovel. I immediately tell them about Tower Crossing, a Glen development with townhomes ranging in size from roughly 3,000 sq ft to over 4,000 sq ft.

Tower Crossing is one of 13 development areas (9 with privately owned homes) in The Glen. It was developed by Kimball Hill Homes which built the 154 townhomes beginning in 2003. The development was completed in 2007. All of the homes were sold by the developer and are now available from time-to-time from individual homeowners.

There are six basic models in Tower Crossing.  Here are the sizes of each model:

Valencia – 3031 sq ft  (bridge units 3401 sq ft)

Drake – 3075 sq ft

Astoria – 3210 sq ft  (end units 3500 sq ft)

Biltmore – 3600 sq ft

Omni – 3625 sq ft (bridge units 4105 sq ft)

Blackstone – 3840 sq ft

The point is that Tower Crossing’s townhomes are large by any standard of any kind of home including single family homes. As townhomes go…they are extremely large.  Home prices in Tower Crossing begin in the $600,000’s, and larger models sell in the $800,000’s.
