With pre-millennium roots in New Lenox, P.D. Hartz Homes maintains a lengthy history with the growing village, a relationship that allows the veteran, family-owned homebuilder a distinct advantage reflected in its sub-$300,000 home prices at Laraway Ridge.
“Our longevity in the community affords us the unique opportunity to offer pricing unmatched in the New Lenox area,” P.D. Hartz Homes President Phil Hartz said. “We combine these unrivaled prices with our company’s long-standing reputation for quality construction, highlighted by award-winning design, brick construction, and estate-sized lots.”
An expansive single-family home community spotted on the south end of New Lenox, Laraway Ridge now sits in its final phase of development, less than two dozen lots remaining in the 330-home community.
“Price is everything at Laraway Ridge because there’s no place else in New Lenox to get a new home for under $250,000. That fact has made Laraway Ridge a compelling option for over 300 buyers to date,” Laraway Ridge Sales Manager Michele Koss said.
Up to 14 home plans are available at Laraway Ridge. Two-story plans range from the Van Horne, a four-bedroom, 1.5-bath home starting at $248,900, to the estate-like Hawthorne, which starts at $294,900. At nearly 2,700 square feet, the Hawthorne hosts four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a luxury master suite, dramatic architectural details, and a spacious 425-square foot family room. Ranch plans, meanwhile, start at $274,900 and include the Chandler I, a three-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence with luxury master suite and separate dining room spread over 1,950 square feet.
“The diversity of our home plans clearly separates us from the pack,” Hartz said. “P.D. Hartz Homes has long prided itself on offering a wide variety of distinctive home plans, great design, and over 50 years of construction knowledge; Laraway Ridge perfectly represents this philosophy.”
Most home plans at Laraway Ridge include a three-car garage, a basement, and nine-foot first floor ceilings as standard features. P.D. Hartz Homes’ semi-custom work, an attribute carried throughout six decades, affords buyers added flexibility to put their personal stamp on the home with luxury finishes and exciting architectural features.
“All of our buyers head to our design center where they have every opportunity to create a home that fits their image and their needs,” Koss said.
A community filled with young families, first-time buyers, and move-up residents, Laraway Ridge represents the best of New Lenox’s neighborly, family-friendly qualities.
With an on-site elementary school, park land, and modern conveniences courtesy of New Lenox’s expanding commercial development, Laraway Ridge offers residents a fine slice of contemporary life. Residents benefit from access to the accomplished Lincoln-Way school district, as Laraway Ridge feeds into Lincoln-Way West High, the newest of the district’s high schools. Meanwhile, swift access to I-80, I-355, and a pair of Metra commuter rail stations provides transportation ease.
“From its high-quality schools and family-friendly atmosphere to its expanding list of stores and restaurants and Chicago water, Laraway Ridge residents inhabit a safe, modern community with a range of advantages and exciting features,” Koss said.
