Ya gotta see this Glen townhome!

February 25, 2019 by Margaret Ludemann

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.

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.

Summer in Glenview means outdoor dining in The Glen

June 13, 2017 by Margaret Ludemann

A couple of months ago I wrote a blog about the unofficial – but very real – sign of spring in Glenview, the opening of the Glenview Dairy Bar. Well, there’s also a sign of summer, and its right here in The Glen…outdoor dining in Glen Town Center.

We have 17 restaurants in The Glen, popular with locals and with people from throughout Chicagoland‘s North Shore. My sister and two nieces visited from out of town last weekend. We walked through Glen Town Center from our Tower Crossing townhome, barely a block away. We passed outdoor diners at Your Pie (a great little pizza place), State and Main, Flight Wine Bar, Ra Sushi Bar & Restaurant, Uno Mas, Bravo Cucina Italiana, Yardhouse, and several more wonderful restaurants. We decided on Curragh Irish Pub. The food was terrific, but the ambiance of dining outdoors on a lovely summer evening was even more so.

One of the great things about living in The Glen is our proximity to restaurants, shops, Arclight Cinema, and so much more. In fact, you can walk to Glen Town Center from any of the homes in The Glen whether they be single family homes, row homes, duplexes or condos. In many ways it’s like living in the city, though with less traffic and noise. In fact, we refer to The Glen lifestyle as “urban living in the suburbs”. The best of both worlds! And if we want to actually go to the city, our local Metra can get to the loop in 30 to 45 minutes.

So, stop by for dinner sometime. You’ll enjoy the food and fall in love with our community. And if you do, give me a call. I am an award winning Realtor who lives in and focuses on Glen homes.

Tower Crossing…REALLY big townhomes

May 31, 2016 by Margaret Ludemann

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.

The new norm at Tower Crossing in The Glen…prices over $700,000

November 23, 2015 by Margaret Ludemann

Home prices at the ultra-cool Tower Crossing townhome development in The Glen (in Glenview Illinois) are hitting post-recession highs. Built between 2003 and 2007 these 4 story brick, Georgian style homes offer between 3,031 and 4,105 square feet of luxury living. There are 6 basic models and 9 floor plans. In addition to their beauty and size a huge appeal to Tower Crossing townhomes is their proximity to Glen Town Center, The Glen’s popular and upscale retail and dining “main street”. In fact they border Glen Town Center on 3 sides making a walk to dinner nothing more than a short stroll.

Digging into pricing data recently I found exactly what I expected. A materially higher percentage of Tower Crossing homes are now selling for $700,000 or more than in recent years. In 2010 there were no $700,000 sales. In the next two years (2011/2012) approximately a fourth of sales were at this level; and this grew to about half of sales in 2013/2014. But in 2015 (through mid-November) 93% of sales (13 of 14) were at $700,000 or more! The prices of larger Tower Crossing models (such as the Blackstone, Omni, and Biltmore) have been selling well into the $700’s for a few years, but now even smaller homes (for instance Valencias and Drakes) have reached $700,000+ price points. Because these smaller (though still quite large) models are selling in the low $700,000, the prices of larger models are increasing into the high $700’s and even the $800’s. In fact we saw a sale at $800,000 or more in 2014 and another in 2015. I sold both of these magnificent homes, and incidentally…they were worth every penny. I believe I have another $800,000 sale waiting in the wings. Until last year we hadn’t seen an $800,000 sale since at least 2007. Of course what any home will sell for is influenced by its condition, by market factors (including competition) at the time of listing, and by choice of realtor.
