Naperville models show off charm of active-adult condos
A scenic natural setting with lakes, nature trails and conservation area provides a perfect backdrop for the new Alpine Series condominiums at Carillon Club. The popular active-adult community in Naperville offers a luxurious yet carefree lifestyle for those at least 55 years of age.
Cambridge Homes presents five new Alpine Series designs with two shown as professionally furnished and decorated models. Each residence features one-level living, private deck, laundry room and individually controlled heating and central air conditioning.
The mid-rise building includes a central elevator, secure lobby with video entry system and indoor heating parking. The building is Energy Star certified for greater economy and environmental preservation.
Located off 95th Street, 1 mile west of Route 59, Carillon Club features an 18,000-square-foot clubhouse that serves as the hub for more than 40 clubs and includes state-of-the-art facilities including indoor and outdoor pools. Other activities and amenities include a no-fee private three-hole golf course, tennis and bocce ball courts, horseshoes and gardening as well as a family recreation center with shallow depth pool and playground for residents to entertain visiting grandchildren.
"Many prospective buyers have been waiting for the opening of the Alpine Series condominium models," said President Paul Ivers. "They especially appeal to empty-nesters living in the Naperville area who want a more streamlined lifestyle, buyers who own a second home in the Sun Belt and singles that prefer a secure building in a gate-guarded neighborhood. Also, Carillon Club offers a lifestyle where active adults can enjoy new activities and make new friends."
