GRAYSLAKE, IL – June 19, 2006 – Being developed by Residential Homes of America, Inc. (RHA), Village Station has been so popular with buyers that a second phase of 72 townhomes is now being offered for sale. Introductory pricing ranges from $204,990 to $253,990 for homes that include finished lower levels and two-car attached garages. First deliveries are scheduled for fall of 2006.

“Buyers who consider shorter commutes an important advantage will be impressed with the location of Village Station,” said Ann Danner, president of RHA.

“Residents are within walking or bicycling distance of the Metra commuter train station and close to Lake County job centers. In addition, shopping and other village services are nearby, and recreation is just as convenient, with the Chain O’ Lakes resort region a short distance away. Village Station combines a scenic suburban location with conveniences that compare favorably with urbanized settings.”

Complementing the desirable community location is a land plan that emphasizes the tranquil country setting. The focal point of the neighborhood is a two-acre park that blends open green space with a charming gazebo. Residents can enjoy the walking path that links with a regional trail, and professionally designed landscaping enhances the natural beauty.

“Many buyers today prefer the townhome lifestyle because they want freedom from exterior maintenance, and Village Station offers a carefree atmosphere without sacrificing luxury or privacy,” Danner said. “The rowhouse-inspired townhomes have a sophisticated appeal, and the designs cater to buyers’ desire for flexible space that can be adapted to a variety of uses.”

Four attractive townhomes range in size from 1,471 to 1,944 square feet, with two bedrooms; two bedrooms and a loft; 2 ½ baths; finished lower levels with bonus rooms; and two-car attached garages. “We have floor plans that feature dual master bedrooms and half of our plans easily convert to a third bedroom layout, so these homes can easily accommodate differing buyer preferences,” Danner said. “The homes include many deluxe features in the price so they are an outstanding value with great appreciation potential. In addition, buyers who obtain mortgages through our preferred lender will receive their choice of a free washer, dryer and refrigerator, or a rate lock program with RHA paying the upfront fees.”One of the most popular plans at Village Station is the 1,808-square-foot Chicago, a spacious design that includes two bedrooms and a loft or optional third bedroom, 2 1/2 baths; finished bonus room on the lower level and two-car attached garage.
