Westbrook Elementary School

Check out the great schools serving The Glen

April 11, 2017 by Margaret Ludemann

Kids in The Glen (in Glenview, Illinois) are very fortunate for a lot of reasons. Chief among them are the outstanding schools serving our area. Parents who are considering moving to The Glen may want to check them out carefully as my husband and I did nearly 14 years ago. School quality was one of the most important reasons why we chose to live here. And we haven’t been disappointed.

So, here is the list of schools along with their websites so that you can do your own investigation. I know you will be as impressed as my family has been.

Glenview School District 34 covers grades K through 8. The district website is http://www.glenview34.org/

Within District 34 there are three schools serving Glen children, as follows:

For grades K through 2, Glen students attend Westbrook Elementary School. https://wb.glenview34.org/

For grades 3 through 5, Glen students attend Glen Grove Elementary School.  https://gg.glenview34.org/

For grades 6 though 8, Glen students attend Attea Middle School. http://at.glenview34.org

High school students attend the award winning Glenbrook South High School in Glenbrook School District 225. The district’s website is https://www.glenbrook225.org/   The school’s website is https://www.glenbrook225.org/gbs/home

For smaller children there is a wonderful pre-school in the Glenview Park Center which is located in the heart of The Glen. Here is the website: http://www.glenviewparks.org/facilities-parks/park-center-preschool/

Luxury Glenview homes…in Southgate at The Glen

November 14, 2016 by Margaret Ludemann

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.

Listing your home for buyers with children

March 21, 2016 by Margaret Ludemann

In areas which cater to families with school age children, it’s important to time the listing of your home appropriately. The basic rule is that you need to get it on the market in time for buyers to close, get moved, and settle in prior to the start of the school year. Often sellers list their homes too late, and they miss the real estate market for buyers with kids.

Let’s take The Glen as an example. The Glen is an upscale housing and retail development on the former grounds of Naval Air Station Glenview in Glenview Illinois. It is home to a couple of thousand luxury homes of various types, including single family homes, townhomes, row homes, duplexes, condos, and two-flats. Prices in the Glen range from the high $300,000s to over $2 million.

Children in the Glen attend District 34 elementary and middle schools, including Westbrook Elementary School, Glen Grove Elementary School, and Attea Middle School. For high school they attend Glenbrook South High School in District 225. Naturally, there are wonderful private schools available in the area as well, but for purposes of this exercise let’s look at the public school calendar. From there, we will work backward to determine the best time to list your home.

The first day of District 34 schools for next school year will be August 23; for District 225, it will be August 25. If we assume a family would like to get their kids settled in their new neighborhoods to make friends two or three weeks before school starts, we’re looking at a move-in date of around the first of August. Prior to moving in, we can assume a time on market of a month or two…so to be safe, let’s say two months. After the agreement is signed, there is usually a 45 to 60 day period before closing. So, doing the math we find that getting a home on the market would be best to occur by early-April.

This means that home sellers in the Glen who wish to attract families with children should be moving rather rapidly to get their home ready to be listed. You need to find your Realtor and get your home prepared for showing. There’s really not a lot of time to spare.

I am an award-winning realtor who lives in and sells extensively in The Glen. If you are interested in selling, buying or renting in the Glen (or greater Glenview), please contact me right away.
