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.

Sugar Creek Subdivision in Vernon Hills

The feel in the Sugar Creek subdivision n the Vernon Hills neighborhood is as sweet as the name indicates – beautiful homes located in a well-maintained enclave adjacent to a lushly forested area. Just three streets run through Sugar Creek, making it easy to navigate. With the numerous trips I’ve made throughout the Vernon Hills area it’s nice to have a neighborhood where my GPS isn’t necessary!

Hawthorn Club in Vernon Hills – a wonderful family subdivision.

Hawthorn Club is located off of Evergreen Road and Route 45, nestled away from traffic and edged on one side by the golf course. Read the rest of this entry »

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.

As a successful Vernon Hills area realtor, my job is similar to that of a matchmaker – finding the  right home for my client, based on all of the desirable characteristics my client is seeking.

Free Outdoor Movie Screening of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs in Deerpath Park – Vernon Hills, IL

Drive-in movies were already on their way out when I was a young girl, but I do remember sitting outside at night watching slide shows projected on a sheet in the backyard.  I’m so excited that Vernon Hills in the Chicago Northwest  Suburbs is helping to recreate that memory on Saturday, June 25th.  The Vernon Hills Park District is presenting an outdoor showing of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs in Deerpath Park (just off of Route 45 in the Deerpath neighborhood).

Bring your own blanket and lawn chairs (and I would suggest some bug spray) and let the Vernon Hills Park District provide the rest.  The only thing better than the outside movie is the fact that Culver’s will be there selling their frozen custard.  Who needs popcorn on a summer night when you have frozen custard?

The movie starts at 8:45 pm, so make sure the kids get in a quick nap in the afternoon.  See you at the movies!

Per the Vernon Hills Park District website, park at the Cherokee Park entrance and walk up the path to the viewing area.

Vernon Hills Real Estate Recap

Are you curious as to what Vernon Hills real estate listings went under contract in the first 68 days of 2010? Everyone else in Vernon Hill seems to be!

Whether you are in the market to buy a Vernon Hills home or to sell your current Vernon Hills  home, it is important to keep abreast of market statistics (or at least to work with a knowledgeable Vernon Hills REALTOR who does). Newspapers, national magazines, and television news report on regional and national trends, but aren’t doing a very good job of explaining the local real estate market in Vernon Hills. The number of new housing starts nationwide or the percentage increase in foreclosures or short sales in the entire state have very little, if any, bearing on how quickly your Vernon Hills real estate is worth in the  Vernon Hills subdivisions of Centennial Crossing, Deerpath or Sugar Creek.

A few days ago, I was watching a real estate video clip on the ABC news and I really appreciated the way the reporter, Leah Hope, summarized the state of today’s real estate market.  In order to sell a home today, the  price and condition  of your home  does not have to be comparable, it has to be compelling. How true is this statement!

In the Vernon Hills real estate analysis below, it shows that the Vernon Hills real estate listing prices at the time the contracts  were entered into were compelling!   Also note that 2 of the contracts were short sales! If you would like to know the sale prices of these homes when they actually close, please do not hesitate to call me or email me. There were 18 homes that went under contract in Vernon Hills since the beginning of the year…
