Location and quality are two<br />

big steps leading to a home<br />

buying decision and shoppers<br />

are advised to step carefully.<br />

A poor quality home in a<br />

good location remains a poor<br />

quality home. Likewise, a wellbuilt<br />

home in a poor location<br />

cannot be moved. Savvy buyers<br />

looking for the best of both<br />

and are finding it at Brookside<br />

Meadows in Tinley Park -<br />

along with many more reasons<br />

to own a new home.<br />

Brookside Meadows is a<br />

rare find for those who are<br />

upsizing, downsizing or who<br />

may be first time owners. Now<br />

entering its final phase in a<br />

peaceful Tinley Park setting,<br />

the neighborhood is developed<br />

by Crana Homes, legendary<br />

builder of Brookside Glen and<br />

other thriving communities.<br />

award-winning designs and<br />

energy-efficient features, are<br />

comfort and minimum care.<br />

Thousands of buyers who<br />

for an excellent quality home<br />

that will hold its appreciation<br />

value know their investment<br />

same holds true at Brookside<br />

Meadows where all the same<br />

craftsmanship, attention to<br />

detail and customer care<br />

difference. With standout<br />

design features – and with<br />

prices holding in the upper<br />

$200s (including site) - these<br />

homes continue to impress<br />

things to do. Traveling is<br />

highways and major streets<br />

four) bedrooms and twoand-half<br />

optional three) bedroom split<br />

of the features of the Fahan<br />

upper level. The Lennan II<br />

open space kitchens with<br />

generous cabinet space and<br />

sleek granite countertops.<br />

A stately loft overlooks an<br />

impressive and relaxing great<br />
