Pre-Construction sales begin at Long Run Creek Townhomes

May 31, 2001 - Long Run Creek Townhomes, a new community in Orland Park that offers buyers an opportunity to own a luxury, maintenance-free home for $205,425 to $218,025 has opened an on-site sales office. These ranch and two-story townhomes with full basements offer up to 2,165 square feet of living space. Pre-construction sales are being conducted from Gallagher & Henry’s Creekside community that is located next to Long Run Creek. The opening of a sales office allows buyers to take advantage of special pre-construction pricing, and review floor plans. Townhomes will be available for occupancy by the end of summer and finished townhome models are open now.

Long Run Creek is located on the north side of 143rd street, approximately 3/4 of a mile west of Wolf Road. Homebuyers interested in living in a convenient, maintenance-free environment will be thrilled at the high value represented by these six floor plans. These ranch and two-story townhomes offer two or three bedrooms, 2 or 2-1/2 baths, loft (per plan), thoughtfully designed kitchen, first floor laundry room, full basements and attached two-car garages.

Standard interior features include volume ceilings (per plan), central air conditioning, ceramic tile in foyer and baths, oak trim and interior doors, and kitchen appliances (gas range, dishwasher, garbage disposal and range hood). Optional available amenities include: fireplaces, pocket doors, skylights, hardwood flooring and many cabinet upgrades.

"These floor plans are designed to live like homes that are much larger and more expensive," said Kristopher Plencner, sales manager for the community. "By using space enhancing techniques like volume ceilings, increasing the number of windows and eliminating unnecessary walls, all five plans create dramatic first impressions."

Besides great homes, the new townhome community will offer a great lifestyle because of its proximity to outstanding transportation, shopping and recreational amenities. Long Run Creek is minutes from Orland Square Mall, churches, hospitals, golf courses, tennis/racquetball clubs and fine restaurants. It also offers convenient access to the interstate highway system, and the Metra train station is only minutes away from each homeowner's doorstep.

Sales for Long Run Creek Townhomes are being conducted on-site at Gallagher & Henry's condominium models located within the community. To reach the sales center, take LaGrange Road to 143rd Street and head west to Long Run Drive, three blocks west of Wolf Road. The sales office is open 10am to 6pm daily.
