Plenty of room at River's Edge condos

All units feature large Great Rooms and a natural setting at River's Edge condominiums in Vernon Hills.

River's Edge will include 80 condominiums in two five-story buildings on a five-acre site bordering Lincolnshire, in Stevenson High School District 125.

There are two-bedroom/two-bath designs, and one three-bedroom/2½-bath plan left, from 1,745 to 2,325 square feet with large, private balconies.

Prices range from $373,500 to $511,900, subject to change.

The Great Rooms comprise almost a fourth of each units' square footage, allowing the buyer space to use it any way they want.

Most residences also offer a computer-friendly "I-Net" station, with pre-wired R-6 coaxial cable and Category 5E multi-line telephone outlets.

Each residence features expansive windows with transom lights to capture the views, solid-core doors with Schlage hardware, and wood flooring in the foyer and kitchen.

Each building features a club room with a terrace and fitness facility, and all units include indoor parking for one or two cars.

With its Arts & Crafts architecture blending next to Half Day Forest Preserve, a private one-acre nature park borders the Des Plaines River bike trail.

A waterfall greets visitors at the entry from Milwaukee Avenue, and a gazebo sits next to the nature park.

Two rail stations for the Metra North Central Service line -- Vernon Hills and Prairie View -- are within minutes, with an hour's commute to the Loop. Travelers may also choose the Lake Forest Metra station, east of the community, on the Milwaukee District North line.

River's Edge is on the east side of Milwaukee Avenue, 1½ blocks north of Route 22; enter on Benjamin Drive. Office hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. For additional information, call (847) 821-8080 or visit the company's website at www.WeissDevelopment.com.
