For most who have experienced it, the daily commute to and from downtown Chicago conjures up images of bumper-to-bumper traffic on the expressways, but the reality for residents at Des Plaines’ Lexington Park community is far more pleasant.
Following a walk of just a few minutes to the Des Plaines Metra station, residents of Lexington Park can be downtown in 30 minutes, making the total commute time even shorter and more enjoyable than getting downtown from various Chicago neighborhoods via CTA trains or buses. Both morning inbound and evening outbound schedules have many express trains, with Des Plaines as one of the first stops outside the city, giving buyers extra time for the all-important evening recreation and family activities.
Lexington Park also has the distinction of being much closer to a Metra station than any other new townhome community along Metra’s Union Pacific / Northwest line, making it the best option for rail commuters in search of a new-construction home in the northwest suburbs.
If driving is still your transportation mode of choice, Lexington Park is a five-minute drive from the Tri-State Tollway (I-294) and less than 10 minutes from the Northwest Tollway (I-90) and O’Hare International Airport.
Lexington Park’s award-winning townhomes are priced from the $230s to $250s, and feature two or three bedrooms with 2.5 baths, finished lower levels and dens (per plan), two-car garages, and abundant storage space.
One home, a richly appointed Warrington with two bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a den is available for immediate delivery for $247,000. Other homes at Lexington Park will reach completion by early summer 2011.
