Brighton Mews Hits 50-Percent-Sold Milestone

Edward R. James Homes' Community Draws Buyers to Downtown Park Ridge

Glenview, Ill.-based homebuilder and developer Edward R. James Homes has announced that Brighton Mews, a 29-unit townhome development in the heart of downtown Park Ridge, Ill., has reached the 50-percent-sold milestone. The development, located at 303 S. Northwest Hwy, opened sales last fall.

“The townhomes at Brighton Mews not only deliver a functional floor plan, top-tier finishes, and private outdoor space, but are located in one of the most sought-after locations in Park Ridge,” said Jerry S. James, president of Edward R. James Homes. “We’ve seen a variety of buyers, from empty-nesters seeking walkable, maintenance-free living, to young professionals who’ve left the city for a thriving, yet affordable, urban location with access to public transportation, entertainment and recreation.”

Brighton Mews is located just blocks from Uptown at Park Ridge, a mixed-use residential and retail development that was developed by Edward R. James Homes in 2006. It is also next door to Whole Foods, and blocks from downtown Park Ridge, the Metra station, and the nostalgic Pickwick Theater.

The remaining townhomes offer four distinct floor plans, ranging from 2,030 to 2,217 square feet. Each plan includes three bedrooms, 2½ baths, and a two-car garage accessible through the lower level. The location of key rooms, including the kitchen, living room and master suite, varies from plan to plan.

The main floor in each plan has 9’ ceilings, as well as a rear private deck that connects to a screened-in porch or optional den. High-quality interior finishes include hardwood flooring, Kohler® kitchen and bathroom fixtures, granite countertops and islands, and energy-efficient utilities. Pricing for the townhomes starts in the upper $400,000s.

“Buyers looking to move into a new-construction home this year should act fast,” said James. “The current sales pace indicates this summer may be the last chance to access new-construction in a prime location, and at a competitive price.”

Just 14 miles northwest of Chicago, Park Ridge has convenient access to O’Hare Airport, major expressways, such as Interstates 90 and 294, CTA and Metra trains. James added, “Park Ridge draws residents to the beauty of its tree-lined streets, exceptional schools, and ample shopping and recreation. It’s the best place to enjoy small-town charm while having easy access to the third-largest economy in the country.”
