Single Family/Townhouses/Condominium Developments
Despite the economic downturn, the Village has continued to
develop new residential subdivisions:
Brookwood
Farms Subdivision
The Brookwood Farms subdivision is a 9-lot development, located on the west side
of Riverwoods Road, immediately north of Northampton Lane. This development sits
on the grounds of a former horse farm, from which its name was derived. With
Forest Preserve property to the north and west of the development, residents
of this neighborhood know that their "neighbors" on this side of
Riverwoods Road will continue to be trees, grasslands and wetlands for years
to come. This subdivision consists of two-acre lots (all of which have been sold),
similar in size to the subdivision to the south along Northampton Lane. Construction
of homes has begun
and all were completed in the Fall.
Easton
Subdivision
The 4-lot Easton Subdivision is a single-family residential subdivision by
Vernon Builders. The development is located on a 3.7 acre parcel, along Old
Mill Road, north of Half Day Road (Rt. 22). The subdivision
includes landscape buffering in both the front and rear yards, to enhance the
privacy of both current and future residents of the area. Two homes have been
completed in this area and two lots remain available for new homes.
Lincolnshire
Forest Subdivision
Currently under construction, Lincolnshire Forest is an 11-lot single-family
residential subdivision, located on the northwest corner of Route 22 and Elm
Road. Seven of those lots front on Preston Court, a new cul-de-sac street that
intersects with Pembroke Drive, while the remaining four lots are accessed via
an access easement from Elm Road. The lots range in size from 2/3 of an acre
to almost 1 acre. The subdivision incorporates a new native-landscaped detention
pond, and an adjacent existing wetland, that can be crossed by a boardwalk. Most
of the lots are heavily-forested, allowing the opportunity to carve homesites
out, leaving significant existing trees intact. A large public forested lot at
the immediate corner of Route 22 and Elm Road, helps provide screening to the
homesites in this subdivision.
Lincolnshire
Place Condominiums
This 2.44 acre condominium development enjoys a prominent location in the heart
of Lincolnshire, just east of the intersection of Olde Half Day Road and Milwaukee
Avenue. The developer, Weiss Development, has constructed a four-story, 62-unit
higher-end condominium, that is in the midst of Lincolnshire’s Downtown
Development. This condominium building serves as a well-integrated extension
to the existing Village Green of Lincolnshire condominiums, previously completed
by the same developer, creating a harmonious and architecturally-pleasing neighborhood.
The building contains two and three-bedroom units, with seven different floor
plans, and offers an extensive array of exterior and interior amenities. The
close proximity to the vibrant Village Green Retail Center, Walgreens, and walking
and biking paths, as well as ample adjacent open space, make this an enviable
location.
Manors
of Brampton Woods - Unit II Subdivision
Phase 2 of the Brampton Woods Subdivision spans a 16.8 acre property between
Elm Road and Brampton Lane, west of Riverwoods Road. This is an 11-lot single-family
home subdivision that was originally a future phase in the 1989 Annexation
Agreement for the Brampton Woods Subdivision.
The developer of the original phase of Brampton Woods, Arthur
J. Greene Construction, is also the developer and builder of
this subdivision. The completed work includes three new homes
on Brampton Lane and one new home on Hamilton Court, a new cul-de-sac
that is entered off Elm Road. In addition, there is one home
currently under construction on Hamilton Court. Four additional
homes are slated for construction in the future on Hamilton Court.
There are also two lots with existing farmstead homes that will
be part of this subdivision and will have access off Hamilton
Court.
Given Arthur J. Greene’s extensive homebuilding experience
in Lincolnshire throughout the 1980's and 90's, the Village is
confident
that
this will lead to a high-quality subdivision,
with a minimum of disruptions to our current residents.
