Vernon Hills  Sledding Hills-  there’s no hiding from Winter…

Mother Nature may have teased us with a snowfree holiday season, but as I write this, the second big snow of the season is falling. The kids aren’t home from school yet, but I know what’s on our weekend agenda – the sledding hill in Vernon Hills.

Two of the newer neighborhoods to be built in Vernon Hills , Sanctuary Point and Writers Estate are both located next to each other off off Route 45 and Fairway Drive. Both back onto a beautiful nature preserve, complete with fully mature trees and a winding creek. I love the sense of peace evoked driving through these small but stately areas.

Sanctuary Point is a single family home neighborhood built by Housh’s Construction. The small community features twenty homes which are not yet ten years old. The size of the average home is over 2600 square feet.

Writers Estates features sixteen custom single family homes built in 2005. All of these luxury homes come with three car garages, brick or concrete driveways, and cedar shake roofs.

The neighborhoods have the fewest number of single family homes of the many subdivisions in Vernon Hills. Both subdivisions feed into nationally recognized Lincolnshire-Prairie View School District 103 and Adlai E. Stevenson High School District 125. There is a mix of young and mature families in these neighborhoods.

 Commutes for residents are easy. Illinois Tollway I-294 and the Vernon Hills Metra Station are both short drives, as are Milwaukee Avenue and Route 60/Townline Roads, well-populated with restaurants and stores to fit all desires.

As Vernon HIllsrealtor, I work with my clients to get a solid sense of where they will live most comfortably. With so many great neighborhoods to choose from, I look forward to meeting with you and learning about your desires as a homebuyer.

Stone Fence in Vernon Hills

One of my favorite neighborhoods  in Vernon Hills is Stone Fence Farms, easily identified by the stone signage and white fence surrounding its frontage area. I love the feel of this neighborhood, nestled between two larger subdivisions in the village. The neighborhood is comprised of 177 colonial style homes which were built in 1989. The homes are well-maintained on nice sized lots, and I always see people out chatting or working on their homes when I come by. A homeowners’ association is in place which organizes annual picnics and other neighborly outings. The association is also responsible for maintaining the entrance to the neighborhood.
