Westgate

The Glen Club in The Glen. Great golf, dining and lodging.

by

Stunning!  That’s the view my husband and I had while dining at The Glen Club last weekend.  The club is in The Glen in Glenview, a development with luxury homes and an upscale retail area.  We ate on the patio and loved the serene and beautiful view of the course.

The Glen Club is well known and highly regarded. It’s an 18 hole championship course designed by the legendary Tom Fazio. The course is beautiful to look at and challenging to play. Golf Magazine has rated it the fourth best courses you can play in Illinois and among the Top 100 in the United States. When it opened in 2001 Sports Illustrated listed it as a top 10 new course. A stately 48,000 square feet clubhouse provides overnight lodging and first class dining. The club offers private corporate memberships, but it is also available to non-members.

Many Glen homes have great views of these picturesque golf courses. Fifty-five magnificent “estate” single family homes in the Southgate subdivision border The Glen Club’s course as do nine stunning townhomes in Tower Crossing. Several homes in the lovely Westgate and Patriot Commons neighborhoods also have great views.

If you are a golfer who may be interested in living in The Glen, please contact me for additional information. I am a long time Glen homeowner and an award winning Realtor.

Big award for The Glen

by

To the many attributes of The Glen add this: The project that created The Glen has just been recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its first-ever National Federal Facility Excellence in Site Reuse Award. Sure, it’s a long and confusing name, but the award is meaningful and important. Read on.

The Glen is a residential and commercial development in Glenview, Illinois on the grounds of the former Naval Air Station Glenview. It is comprised of over 2000 homes of all varieties including single family homes, townhomes, row homes, duplexes and condos. The Glen is also home to Glen Town Center which contains a multitude of wonderful restaurants, shops and a movie theater.

As I said, The Glen started as a naval air base. It was closed in 1993. The EPA partnered with the Village of Glenview to clean up the site and turn it over to the Village for development. The project was known as The Glen: From Runways to Streetscapes. Work on construction began in 1997, and it is largely complete. The first Glen homeowners took possession of their homes in 2001. The most recent, and perhaps last, housing development was completed last year; it’s known as Westgate at the Glen. It is one of several unique Glen neighborhoods including Southgate, Tower Crossing, Regency, Cambridge, Chapel Crossing, Glen Shore, Landings and Patriot Commons.

So, there is one more reason for those fortunate homeowners in The Glen to be proud…we are an award winning community. One that we admire and love.

Golfing in The Glen

by

It’s spring, and that means golf.  Here in The Glen we are fortunate to have two – count them TWO – wonderful golf courses, both within walking distance of any Glen home.

A wonderful thing about living in The Glen is the availability of  The Glen Club and Glenview Prairie Club.  Both courses are of high quality and they are open to the public. The Glen is a Chicago area north shore residential and retail development.  There are over 2,000 luxury homes of all types, and home prices range from the $300’s to over $2 million.

The Glen Club is well known and highly regarded. It’s an 18 hole championship course designed by the legendary Tom Fazio. The course is beautiful to look at and challenging to play. Golf Magazine has rated it the fourth best courses you can play in Illinois and among the Top 100 in the United States. When it opened in 2001 Sports Illustrated listed it as a top 10 new course. A stately 48,000 square feet clubhouse provides overnight lodging and first class dining. The club offers private corporate memberships, but it is also available to non-member individual golfers.

The Glenview Prairie Club offers Paddle Tennis courts as well as golf. The course is meticulously maintained (by The Glen Club!), and it is beloved by Glen residents who prefer a shorter round of golf.

Many Glen homes have great views of these picturesque golf courses. Fifty-five magnificent “estate” single family homes in the Southgate subdivision border The Glen Club’s course as do nine stunning townhomes in Tower Crossing. Several homes in the lovely Westgate and Patriot Commons neighborhoods also have great views.

76 home sales in The Glen in 2016

by

There were 76 home sales in The Glen in 2016, almost identical to the 78 sold in 2015.  The Glen is a residential and retail development in Glenview Illinois known for its luxury homes and Glen Town Center, the shopping and restaurant mecca of Chicagoland’s North Shore.  It resides on the former property of the Naval Air Station Glenview.

The Glen consists of about 1300 luxury homes in nine distinct neighborhoods, all within walking distance of Tower Drive, Glen Town Center’s “main street”.  All neighborhoods had sales last year.

The Cambridge neighborhood, consisting of single family homes, duplexes, two-flats and row homes, had 10 sales among its 279 properties.  Chapel Crossing, a development of 168 single family homes, had 3 sales.  Glen Shore (31 condo apartments) and Landings (143 single family homes) each experienced 4 sales, while Patriot Commons (condo apartments and townhomes), Southgate Townhomes (62 units), and the new Westgate development (171 row homes and single family homes) each had 5 sales.  There were 19 sales in Regency among its 142 townhomes, duplexes and single family homes.  Of the 237 single family homes in Southgate 10 sold, and among Tower Crossing’s 154 townhomes 11 were sold and another 11 were rented.

As you can tell by my last paragraph there is a large variety of home types and styles in The Glen.  Home prices last year ranged from $330,000 to well over $1 million.  So there is something here for everyone.  If you may be interested in The Glen, please call me at 847-401-1802 or email me at margaretludemann@gmail.com.  I lead The Glen Realty Group team, and would love to show you around.
