The need for affordable luxury housing has never been greater in the Region than it is right now. With a close proximity to Chicago, active living, dining, and entertainment in comfortable commuting distance, and a bustling, ever-expanding economy, there’s always someone looking to move to Northwest Indiana.
That’s why Coolman Builders, LLC, the minds behind Heritage Valley, St. Paul Square, and Pepper Ridge is partnering with MJF Development to bring 28 luxurious villas to the heart of Valparaiso in its newest development: Glenwood.
“Our mission was to create a home that could be something to every type of buyer for the family you are,” said Carol Carden, owner and president of Coolman Builders. “Even if it's grandma and her dog and a cat, the villas fit every type of lifestyle.”
Featuring over 1300 square feet of livable space, each luxury condominium features a two-car garage, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a front porch. A spacious lawn is maintained by a homeowner association (HOA). The condominiums are move-in ready as well, with seven units ready for immediate occupancy.
“We have two-floor plans,” Carden said. “Each has two bedrooms, two baths, a two-car garage, a lovely front porch, and a lovely little back patio. Buyers can choose between a walk-in pantry or a walk-in pocket office.”
The extended pantry is perfect for any aspiring home chef, while the office gives the professional worker a quiet space to work remotely without interruption.
In addition to the modular floor plan, Glenwood’s villas are located on Glendale Boulevard, minutes away from downtown Valparaiso and a wealth of dining and shopping options.
“The accessibility to get downtown is extremely convenient.,” said Carden. “You can walk and get a great lunch, coffee, dinner, or even come down and watch a concert on Thursday nights. On the north side, there are all of the available services nearby including grocery stores, drugstores, restaurants, and coffee. If you want to head up to the expressway, you’re only 15 minutes from the toll road; it's a very comfortable drive.”
The easy accessibility of Glenwood is one that Coolman Builders is keeping in mind as progress on the development progresses.
“Glenwood is very convenient for people with disabilities,” Carden said. “The properties require limited maintenance and have accessibility to various amenities in the area.”
Coolman Builders’ long history in the Region and Valparaiso helps the company know the needs of the community. The addition of Glenwood’s villas to the proven Coolman portfolio will help the city bring in residents both new and old.
“We've been building Valparaiso for over 60 years; we've built well over 2,500 homes here,” said Carden. “We approach the lifestyle before we even create the community and start talking about how it will be laid out. We had a lot of visions right up front about Glenwood. Our market is primarily buyers that are 65 and older, but we hope to also have singles and our young professionals.”
