LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!

METRA CUMBERLAND (DES PLAINES) STATION is within walking distance – and this is a huge value to our project, as it will enable our visitors to use public transportation from downtown Chicago.

INVITING CURB APPEAL!

Broadway Street and the Golf Rd. circle round-about have been completely reconstructed and beautified in the last couple years. Broadway Street now offers the public ample street parking, on a first-come first-served basis.
