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.

Luxury Glenview homes…in Southgate at The Glen

by

One of the most beautiful residential communities on Chicagoland’s North Shore may be found in The Glen, the upscale residential and retail development in Glenview Illinois.  It’s called Southgate, and if you are in the market for a large, luxury home, you owe it to yourself to consider one of its currently listed homes for sale.

The Southgate neighborhood lies comfortably on 104 beautifully landscaped acres, and is home to 299 attached and detached homes of very high 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.  666 adults and 383 children live in Southgate for a total of 1,049 total residents, making it the largest of the various Glen communities.

Four housing types may be found in Southgate.

There are 55 custom, detached “estate” homes which border The Glen Club golf course with stunning views.  These properties are zoned R-3 (three homes per acre) so they offer very large yards.  The homes are large, too, some over 5,000 square feet; and they sell at price points between about $1.5 and $2.5 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 2,600 and 4,500 square feet, and they typically sell between $1.3 and $1.7 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 and $500s.

If you would like more information about Southgate or The Glen generally, please contact me.  I am an award winning Realtor and a proud owner of a Glen home.
