Move in now and save $10,000 at Mill Creek in Geneva GENEVA AND ITS SCHOOLS RECENTLY RECOGNIZED BY MAJOR MAGAZINES

With the housing market pendulum swinging back into a healthier rhythm, shoppers seeking a new construction home now face a new dilemma: Lack of inventory at many new home communities. That’s because even in this improved market, most builders are still wary about assuming the risk of building homes on speculation that they worry may not sell.

Luckily for house hunters in the western suburbs, they have plenty of soon-to-be or recently completed homes to choose from at Mill Creek in Geneva, the award-winning, master-planned golf course community where Shodeen Homes regularly stocks a fresh supply of inventory residences throughout the year.

In fact, Shodeen currently has 10 single-family homes available for immediate delivery within a variety of neighborhoods at Mill Creek, making it possible for several fortunate families who act quickly to be moved in before school starts in the fall—and save $10,000 on their purchase if they buy before August 31, 2013.

Mill Creek particularly appeals to families for several reasons—not the least of which are two recent accolades earned by its hometown: The City of Geneva was recently recognized by Bloomberg’s Businessweek as “The Best Place to Raise Kids in Illinois, and Geneva’s public schools were received the number one ranking in Kane County for 2013 by Chicago Magazine.

Mill Creek offers 127 acres of preserved wetlands, 195 acres of parks and 17 miles of nature and bike trails. Approximately 900 acres of the master-planned community is open space dedicated to outdoor recreation and ecological preservation.

The 10 single-family homes currently available are found throughout four Mill Creek neighborhoods: Oakmont, Tanna, Pinehurst and Hillcrest. Each includes three to four bedrooms, two to three-and-a-half baths, and 2,000 to 3,408 square feet, priced from $299,382 to $557,634.

"One of these 10 is a fully furnished ranch model, The Pennington,” said sales director Nathan Amidon, who noted that the furnishings are also available separately for sale. “We haven’t had a furnished model for visitors to tour in a while, so this is a nice opportunity to walk through a nicely decorated home and get a feel for how gorgeous it can look when occupied.”

Buyers in less of a hurry can select from several homes currently available for early occupancy throughout four popular neighborhoods.
