Edward R. James Homes Opens Sales at Westgate at The Glen

Glenview, Ill.-based homebuilder and developer Edward R. James Homes kicked off sales at Westgate at The Glen in a Grand Opening reservation event held on May 31, 2014. Westgate at The Glen is a 29-acre, 171-unit community that represents the final parcel to be developed on the site of the former Glenview Naval Air Station.

“Demand for homes at Westgate at The Glen has been very strong. In about three weeks, we’ve already sold 25 percent of the community,” said Jerry S. James, president of the Edward R. James Companies. “We think this reflects a number of factors, not the least of which is the limited supply of new construction homes on the North Shore that offer first-floor master bedrooms in a maintenance-free community. In addition, we’re offering a variety of housing styles and floor plans, each of which offers walking distance to the Glen’s fabulous array of recreational, dining, shopping and entertainment venues, as well as proximity to the Metra Station. It’s a great spot to live, and this is the last new home development to be completed in the Glen.” 

More than 300 prospects and brokers attended the Grand Opening event, in addition to an overwhelming number of advance registrations. Construction of the 70 rowhomes, 38 cluster single-family homes and 63 mews townhomes will be delivered in two phases. The first phase includes 38 rowhomes, all of the cluster single-family homes and 38 mews townhomes, and is slated for delivery in the summer of 2015.

Pricing at Westgate ranges from the mid-$400,000s for the mews townhomes on up to the $800,000s for the cluster single-family homes. Each of the three different housing options offer three bedrooms, 2½ baths, two-car attached garages, private outdoor spaces, high-quality interior finishes and a master suite.

Located less than 20 miles north of Chicago, Ill., at the corner of West Lake Avenue and Shermer Road, Westgate at The Glen is a maintenance-free community within The Glen, an 1,100-acre mixed-use development on the site of the former Glenview Naval Air Station. Westgate at The Glen is in proximity to the Glen Town Center shops, restaurants, Metra train station and both the Glenview Prairie Club Golf Course and The Glen Club's 18-hole championship golf course.

The Westgate at The Glen Sales and Design Center is located at 2090 Shermer Road in Glenview, Ill., and will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. every Thursday through Monday. To schedule an appointment, please call 847-955-1213.
