Exciting residential project coming to Burr Ridge

King-Bruwaert House offers newest option for maintenance-free lifestyle at The Gardens

Empty nesters looking for a beautifully appointed and maintenance-free independent living residence still have time to become part of The Gardens of King-Bruwaert House (KBH), a new development planned for the 35-acre King-Bruwaert House campus at 6101 S. County Line Road in Burr Ridge. On Aug. 5, KBH Senior Director of Marketing, Andy Beltz, joined with KBH board members, Katharine Sylvester and Catherine Keating, to offer updates to depositors on the much-anticipated residential expansion that is scheduled to begin in September. The event was hosted at the Lodge at Katherine Legge Memorial Park which shares a property line with KBH.

“We are excited about the opportunity to add these beautiful, luxury residences to our campus,” said Beltz, who has been leading the sales effort for the expansion. “Community feedback continues to be very positive for the 44-unit project that offers so many wonderful and accessible features.”


The Gardens of King-Bruwaert House depositors are in a unique position to be included in the Charter Member Benefit Program that’s only available to the first 31 residents. Benefits for this program include a freeze on the second year’s monthly maintenance fee; a $2,000 bonus credit that can be used toward unit upgrades; a two-year waiver of an internal transfer fee; a guarantee of the lowest entry fee; and a preferred parking space location.

The new project features a Georgian architectural theme that blends gracefully into a natural, wooded setting. All residents have access to beautifully landscaped courtyards with outdoor seating. The new homes are just steps away from a 1-1/2-mile walking path adjacent to two ponds, gardens, fenced-in dog park and a flowing tributary of Flagg Creek.


Additional amenities for Gardens residents include multiple fitness centers with a spa, game rooms, several dining options, a lounge with bar, library, theater, community garden, as well as a chapel and a chaplain who leads weekly interfaith services. An enclosed walkway connects The Gardens to the existing Manor Home, providing easy and temperature-controlled access to all services, activities and events.
