For brand-new single-family homes starting in the $280s, we might expect something slapdash sandwiched between railroad lines, but Marquette Village delivers 139 quaint, two-story brick homes located about half a mile from Marquette Park, which has more than 300 acres of green space, including a golf course, gymnasium, children’s playground and tennis courts.
The attractive façades at Marquette Village have gabled roof lines, columns framing the front entry and bay windows. Inside, buyers find the same kinds of finishes they might expect at homes going for more than twice the price: hardwood floors, granite countertops, island kitchens and marble vanity tops. Homes also have landscaped backyards, patios and optional basements.
The development, from RDM Development and Senior Lifestyle Corporation, also includes a Senior Lifestyle Senior Center designated for those residents aged 62 and older. The center includes television lounges, a computer lab, a fitness center and dining options.
Homes come in six different floor plans and elevations, and each has three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and 1,618 to 2,416 square feet.
