Libertyville, IL - (May 17, 2007) - Active adults have everything they could want at Victoria Park, a Residential Homes of America, Inc. (RHA) active adult community in north suburban Libertyville.  This intimate neighborhood of 52 homes features maintenance-free living in a park like setting complete with a clubhouse designed expressly for buyers 55 years old and better who want to lead a socially and recreationally active lifestyle.  Victoria Park has townhomes available in both ranch and two-story designs, priced from $349,990.  The community is already over half sold out.  Visitors can tour beautifully decorated and fully furnished models daily.

“We created Victoria Park for active adults who want to remain close to their established community circle in the north suburbs - their friends, family, job, doctors and church, while also giving them their own new community circle within the Victoria Park neighborhood itself,” said Ann Danner, president and owner of Residential Homes of America, Inc. (RHA).  “A big component of creating an active and friendly social environment is the clubhouse at Victoria Park, which not only has complete fitness facilities, but also social gathering space for residents to get together, hold parties and create new friendships.” 

There are three floor plans available at Victoria Park, sized from 1,768 to 2,172 square feet in both ranch and two-story layouts.  The homes feature two bedrooms, den, up to 2-1/2 baths, full basements and attached two-car garages. 

Every home includes a luxury master suite with walk-in closet and private bath, 9’ first floor ceilings, central air conditioning and hardwood or ceramic tile in the kitchen, entry foyer and powder room.

Additional highlights are a deluxe kitchen with 42” cabinets, built-in microwave and oven with separate cooktop, along with center islands or peninsulas (per plan).

But it’s more than the quality and deluxe amenities of the homes at Victoria Park that has attracted buyers to this unique community.  It’s the thoughtful landscape plan and on-site clubhouse that make the active adult lifestyle complete.  And best of all, there’s freedom from outdoor landscape maintenance, as lawn mowing and snow shoveling are taken care of by the monthly association fee.

A lighted, tree-lined walking path gives residents an easy and enjoyable way to reach the clubhouse.  Secluded towards the rear of the community for privacy, the clubhouse at Victoria Park highlights a furnished clubroom with fireplace that is ideal for casual conversation, relaxing with a good book or for making new friends.  When it’s time for the big event, a fully appointed kitchen makes it easy to host the party away from home, without the bother and mess of cleaning up.  The clubhouse has been the site of numerous holiday parties and fun evenings of entertainment.   Residents can also reserve the clubhouse for private parties or family get-togethers to entertain in style. 

Since many Victoria Park residents still work or run their own business, RHA has made it easy to work at home but still close that big deal.  The clubhouse includes a business and meeting facility for the utmost in convenience and one that is sure to add sophistication and flair to any business function.

A big component of the active adult lifestyle is staying fit and trim.  To this extent, Victoria Park meets the needs of its residents with a complete fitness facility as part of the clubhouse.  No more trips wasting gas driving to some inconveniently located gym or paying for over-priced gym memberships, because at Victoria Park, residents are able to use the clubhouse and fitness center free of charge without any daily usage fees.

The fitness center features the very latest in state-of-the-art exercise equipment, so residents can stay in shape just steps from their front door.  From time to time, Victoria Park features a personal trainer that visits the clubhouse to train residents on the best ways to most effectively use the equipment, so they can maximize their workout and stay in the best shape possible.

“The clubhouse at Victoria Park is a true multi-purpose facility that accommodates the needs of the residents from all standpoints.  Whether it’s meeting someone for a game of bridge, making that important presentation for business or just winding down after a workout, residents can do it all within the privacy and security of their own neighborhood,” said Danner.

And after that brisk workout or important business meeting, when it’s time to head out for a night on the town, Victoria Park’s great location near downtown Libertyville means a good time is always close by.  Located about five minutes from the business district of historic downtown Libertyville, with its boutique shops and dining, residents at Victoria Park can experience everything this established community is known for.

“Victoria Park gives its residents all the features they could ask for in an active adult community with the added benefit of a smaller, more intimate setting.  This community has the look and feel of an established Libertyville neighborhood, which is one reason why it has been so successful.  Of course, the incredible advantages of an on-site clubhouse and fitness center make living at this community convenient, pleasurable and socially engaging,” said Danner.
