CHICAGO, IL — With summer around the corner, Chicago-area forest preserves, golf courses, bike trails and waterways are bustling with activity as outdoor enthusiasts pursue their favorite warm-weather pastimes. 

For those in the market for a new home, a number of local new-construction communities give residents the opportunity to live in proximity to these recreational destinations, making it easy for busy homeowners to spend time outdoors and enjoy a variety of activities.

Edward R. James Companies is currently building Westgate at The Glen, a 171-unit maintenance-free community with access to two on-site golf courses – The Glen Club and the Glenview Prairie Club. For seasoned golfers, the Glen Club is an 18-hole championship golf course that was named to the Top 10 New Courses lists published by Golf Digest, Golf Magazine and Sports Illustrated.

 The Glenview Prairie Club is a nine-hole course that also features the popular off-season sport of paddle (or “platform”) tennis. Both golf courses are part of The Glen, an 1,100-acre mixed-use development on the site of the former Glenview Naval Air Station. Westgate at The Glen is the last residential parcel to be developed at the site.

“Whether our residents are golf lovers, or taking up the game for the first time, Westgate at The Glen gives them two fantastic options,” said Jerry S. James, president of Edward R. James Companies. “The courses also provide a beautiful setting for the homes that can be enjoyed year-round.”
