Lombard, IL - (May 17, 2007) - Condominium living doesn’t have to be about compromises anymore, thanks to The Residences at Fountain Square in west suburban Lombard. Built by Residential Homes of America, Inc. (RHA), this mid-rise condominium community continues to impress buyers because it has been designed to provide both indoor luxury living with outdoor amenities, ending the conundrum of condominium compromises many shoppers expect to encounter. RHA has begun deliveries in Building Two this spring at Fountain Square, where a limited number of homes remain, priced from the low $200s. Decorated and furnished models are open for tours daily.
“When we designed Fountain Square, we did so with an eye towards providing both interior comfort and exterior beauty and space. We’ve accomplished both of these goals by giving buyers a fully featured luxury condominium close to wetlands and with a walking trail, while also placing the community adjacent to some of the best shopping and dining anywhere in the western suburbs,” said Ann Danner, president and owner of Residential Homes of America, Inc. (RHA). “Many buyers equate only high-rise condominiums with true luxury, but we have all the features buyers expect in our mid-rise designs at Fountain Square, which are immensely convenient homes that offer single-level living and the associated benefits of this type of layout.”
Because they are mid-rise condominiums, Fountain Square features 15 exciting floor plans, each a ranch-style design in an elevator building with heated underground parking. The homes feature one to three bedrooms with 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 baths and are sized from 920 to over 1,800 square feet.
All the homes include a luxury master bedroom suite with walk-in closet and private bath, along with large in-home laundry facilities. The condominiums start in the low $200s and range to the upper $300s, with beautifully decorated and fully furnished models now open.
Having a one-level condominium means easy cleaning and time savings after a long day at work. Owners can park their cars in their reserved underground parking space, take the elevator to their floor and enter the privacy and elegance of their home without worries of outdoor landscape or exterior maintenance. For owners who travel on business often, the security of condominium living and the ability to come and go for extended periods is appreciated.
With views of the natural wetlands and green spaces out the windows of each home or from the private balconies, living at Fountain Square is carefree and relaxing.
On the outside, walking trails provide opportunities for exercise, with additional recreational amenities like the Illinois Prairie Path just minutes away in downtown Lombard. Extensive professional landscaping accents the entire neighborhood.
And when it comes to luxury amenities, RHA fills each condominium at Fountain Square with the expected deluxe appointments along with some unexpected features as well. For starters, the master suites include a generous walk-in closet and a private bath with ceramic tile tub and shower surrounds. Airy 9’ ceilings grace the main living areas and with an immediate hot water system, a relaxing shower or quick meal preparation was never easier.
For energy savings and year-round comfort, the individually controlled forced air heating and central air conditioning system allows for the perfect temperature no matter what the weather. And the convenience of a private, full size laundry room is on par with most single-family homes.
Deluxe interior finishes include buyer’s choice of ceramic tile flooring in the entry foyer and powder room, theatrical lighting and furniture quality vanities in the baths and painted white Cremona doors and trim throughout each home.
“Condominium living is all about convenience and making time spent at home as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. At Fountain Square, this is the lifestyle buyers can expect to experience, that is, a home with the features and amenities that make it both beautiful and easy-to-care-for. And when it comes time to have fun, a world of fine dining and shopping is just steps away,” Danner said.
Located just east of the Yorktown Mall and only minutes west of Oak Brook Center, Fountain Square is steps from literally dozens of new and exciting restaurants that surround the community. Fountain Square is part of a dynamic mixed-use development that includes the Weber Grill, P.F. Chang’s and Champp’s Sports Bar, in addition to other restaurants and retail outlets, including Dick’s Sporting Goods and Target.
Buyers at Fountain Square who work in downtown Chicago have appreciated the outstanding access to transportation provided by the community’s ideal location. This easy access to major highways allows buyers to maintain their city lifestyle as desired with the knowledge that their home at Fountain Square is only 30 minutes away from the Loop.
Nearby access to major expressways from Fountain Square includes I-88, I-355, I-290 and I-294. Metra rail service is also just five minutes away in downtown Lombard, along the Union Pacific West line.
“There’s no better choice for buyers that are looking for the perfect combination of a spacious and beautifully appointed condominium in a location that provides a touch of nature, great shopping and dining and quick connections for commuting, than what we’re offering at Fountain Square,” said Danner.
