Westgate at the Glen

Major Golf Tournament starts today in The Glen

May 20, 2019 by Margaret Ludemann

My husband and I walked over to The Glen Club for dinner last night.  It’s an easy walk, about half the length of a football field, from our Tower Crossing townhome, one of nine neighborhoods in The Glen.  I noticed banners announcing a major golf tournament, so asked about it in the clubhouse.  I learned that the new Evans Scholars Invitational Tournament begins today and runs through May 26.  This is a Web.com tour, and it is being managed by the Western Golf Association (WGA).

The Glen Club hosts major PGA tournaments including the BMW Championship each year, and they bring a lot of excitement to our neighborhood.  This award-winning club was designed by renowned golf course architect Tom Fazio.  The tournament will raise money for college tuition and housing scholarships for deserving caddies across the country.  Nearly 1000 Evans Scholars are currently enrolled at 18 universities.

The Glen Club is one of two golf courses in The Glen.  The other is the Glenview Prairie Club, a beautiful 9-hole course, also a short walk from most any home in The Glen.  The Westgate at The Glen residential neighborhood borders both clubs.  Golf is but one of the wonderful advantages of living in The Glen.  Our “main street”, called Glen Town Center boasts scores of terrific restaurants and upscale shops and boutiques.  Battery Park is also located in The Glen with a lake, walking and jogging trails, tennis courts and playgrounds.

This is an incredible place to live.  We have single family homes, townhomes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats and condos.  Home prices range from the $400s to over $2 million.  If this sounds like the kind of neighborhood you would enjoy living in, please give me a call.  I am an award-winning Realtor and long time Glen homeowner.

New construction homes still available in The Glen

December 6, 2016 by Margaret Ludemann

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.

The Glen…by the numbers

November 1, 2016 by Margaret Ludemann

The Annual Census for The Glen (in Glenview, Illinois) has just been released, and it has interesting information about the population of this community. I will delve into many of the details, particularly as it relates to children and schools, in future blogs; but in this one I will share with you some of the basics. As detective Joe Friday (actor Jack Webb) used to say on the old Dragnet TV show, “Just the facts, mam, just give me the facts.”

In 1993 the Naval Air Station Glenview closed. Five years later it was acquired by the Village of Glenview which subsequently developed it into The Glen, a high end residential and retail community. Several neighborhoods were developed by various builders, and over time a large number of luxury homes were built and the population grew.

According to the new census report for the year ending June 30, 2016, there are 2,452 homes in The Glen of which 2,250 are occupied. These numbers include not only private residences (single family homes, townhomes, row houses, duplexes, two-flats, condos and rental apartments), but also the three senior living communities. There are 3,128 adults in private homes, 765 in senior housing, and 213 in the small area that still contains Navy personnel. This brings the total number of adults to 4,106.

There are also 1,398 children (birth through high school) living in The Glen, the vast majority in private homes. The total number of residents in The Glen, therefore, is 5,504. This is an increase of 305 people over the previous year, much of that increase due to the development of a new Glen neighborhood, Westgate at The Glen.

The Glen is a wonderful community where I have lived for thirteen years. I am an award winning Realtor affiliated with The Glen Realty Group and @properties. If you may have interest in living in The Glen, please contact me at margaretludemann@gmail.com or 847-401-1802.

Large variety of luxury home types and prices in The Glen

August 29, 2016 by Margaret Ludemann

One of the great things about The Glen is the variety of home types, styles and prices available to buyers. The Glen is residential and retail development in Glenview Illinois on the grounds of the former Naval Air Station Glenview. It’s just eighteen miles north of downtown Chicago or, to put it another way, a short train ride to Union Station. The first homes in The Glen were built about fifteen years ago, and new construction continues in one of our ten neighborhoods, Westgate. But this article isn’t about Westgate at The Glen or commute times. It’s about variety.

There are about 1300 homes in The Glen, not counting retirement and assisted living facilities. Of those 1300 properties about half are single family homes while the other half (naturally) consists of attached housing units of various types. For instance, there are townhomes (some as large as 4100 square feet), row homes, condos, duplexes, and two-flats. We have brick homes, wood homes, single level homes, four-story homes, small homes, and huge homes. There are homes overlooking the retail area (Glen Town Center), along the Gallery Park, and bordering the two Glen golf courses. We have colonial homes, contemporary homes, Georgian homes, and home styles that don’t exactly fit any particular style…except really beautiful!

Home prices in The Glen vary widely. On the lower end are some lovely luxury condos and townhomes starting in the $300’s. On the high side, some single family homes bordering The Glen Club’s award-winning golf course sell for well over $2 million. So, whatever your housing budget, the odds are pretty good that you can find a wonderful home here.

I’ve lived in The Glen since the early days of the development, and I am an award-winning Realtor affiliated with @properties. My Glen Realty Group is focused on the sale of new and existing homes here in this very special community. If you may be interested in a Glen home, please call me at 847-401-1802 or email me at margaretludemann@gmail.com.

Kids in The Glen

December 8, 2015 by Margaret Ludemann

Kids. Lots of them. Right here in The Glen!

In fact we have 1,336 children (ages birth through the 12th grade) in the 1,254 privately owned homes in this upscale residential and retail community in Glenview Illinois. As a long time Glen resident and as a Realtor who focuses heavily on The Glen, I know what a wonderful place this is for children. I have a 15 year old son who has grown up here, and he loves everything about it. Gallery Park, Lake Glenview, soccer fields, tennis courts, Kohl Children’s Museum, Arclight Movie Theater, and so much more.

We have eight developments with privately owned homes in The Glen, not counting Westgate which is under construction. Here is a breakdown of children in each:

Chapel Crossing: 167 homes 284 kids 1.7 kids p/home

Landings: 143 homes 236 kids 1.65 kids p/home

Southgate: 299 homes 413 kids 1.38 kids p/ home

Cambridge: 244 homes 234 kids 0.96 kids p/home

Regency: 148 homes 76 kids 0.51 kids p/home

Tower Crossing: 154 homes 73 kids 0.47 kids p/home

Patriot Commons: 68 homes 16 kids 0.24 kids p/home

Glen Shore: 31 homes 4 kids 0.13 kids p/home

Not surprisingly the developments with the most single family homes have the highest percentage of children p/home: Chapel Crossing and Landings. Southgate and Cambridge have a mix of single family homes and attached housing. On the other end of the spectrum, the developments with the most attached housing (mainly townhomes and condos) have the lowest percentage of children p/home: Tower Crossing, Regency, Patriot Commons and Glen Shore.

If you would like to know more about The Glen please give me a call.
