Two new active adult<br />
apartment communities<br />
will open soon at Glenview<br />
and Evanston. Designed<br />
for those 55-plus, Avidor<br />
is the perfect combination<br />
of luxury living, exclusivity<br />
and active engagement.<br />
Avidor champions the<br />
active, 55-plus lifestyle<br />
and these two new luxury<br />
apartments are designed to<br />
inspire a fulfilled and empowered<br />
life. Embark on<br />
your next adventure. Do<br />
what you want to do. This<br />
vibrant community is designed<br />
for those who seek<br />
to enjoy an engaging life.<br />
Customize your own<br />
lifestyle with a la carte options<br />
and pay only for what<br />
you want with unbundled<br />
pricing. It’s not just living;<br />
it’s living well.<br />
Thoughtfully appointed<br />
unit features, amenities<br />
and ideal locations outside<br />
of Chicago make Avidor<br />
Finding a new home for empty nesters<br />
a prime option for worryfree,<br />
responsibility-free<br />
living. No more home<br />
maintenance. No more<br />
lawn mowing or snow<br />
blowing. Just a lot more<br />
time to devote to doing<br />
what you love.<br />
Avidor is an excellent<br />
spot to host your monthly<br />
poker tournament, sip<br />
wine on girls’ night or<br />
host movie night with the<br />
grandkids. It’s also the<br />
ideal place to meet new<br />
friends, forge relationships<br />
with like-minded individuals<br />
and ultimately live<br />
your best life.<br />
Considerate design features<br />
are incorporated into<br />
the community to accommodate<br />
residents’ family<br />
members, including children<br />
and grandchildren,<br />
with social areas such as a<br />
game room and entertainment<br />
kitchen. The community<br />
is pet-friendly as well.<br />
The North Shore is home<br />
to many Baby Boomers<br />
who are in, or nearing,<br />
the empty-nester period of<br />
their lives. This is a great<br />
phase, but not necessarily<br />
with respect to housing.<br />
Empty nesters need and<br />
want single-floor living in<br />
a smaller home. If this is<br />
you, what should you do?<br />
Moving away, whether<br />
downtown or somewhere<br />
farther, is always a viable<br />
option. The challenge arises<br />
if you wish to stay in the<br />
North Shore, where you<br />
have gained friendships<br />
and raised a family.<br />
Current North Shore<br />
housing stock offers limited<br />
options for high-quality<br />
single-level living. Evanston<br />
and Highland Park<br />
are both exceptions, when<br />
modern mid-rise and highrise<br />
living is desirable. But<br />
these buildings can often<br />
feel a little too modern or<br />
sterile. Evanston also has<br />
many very beautiful vintage<br />
condominium buildings<br />
with first-floor units<br />
only half a flight from<br />
street level. But living<br />
there may also mean limited<br />
or no building parking,<br />
window air conditioners,<br />
and possible restrictions<br />
on in-unit laundry. On the<br />
positive side, these much<br />
less expensive vintage<br />
condominiums are often<br />
very charming and welllocated.<br />
But, if neither<br />
option seems desirable to<br />
you, your best alternative<br />
may be to build a home.<br />
Building an affordable<br />
new empty-nester home<br />
gives you the ability to live<br />
in a proper single-family<br />
Amenities include unit<br />
balconies, outdoor swimming<br />
pool and hot tub, grill<br />
station, fire pit and ample<br />
green space for entertaining.<br />
Indoor offerings include<br />
a pet washroom,<br />
movie room, nail and hair<br />
salon, fitness club, yoga<br />
studio, and game room.<br />
To encourage residents<br />
to maintain their active<br />
lifestyles and promote<br />
long-term health, there<br />
will be a full-time resident<br />
services director on staff<br />
to coordinate programs<br />
for residents. Have the life<br />
you deserve. It’s time to<br />
play, explore and live with<br />
abandon.<br />

house. An empty-nester<br />
home can be built to suit<br />
your tastes and sensibilities,<br />
not those of a developer.<br />
Your custom-designed<br />
first-floor master bedroom<br />
home could comfortably<br />
accommodate the lovely<br />
antiques, art and other fine<br />
decorative objects that<br />
took a lifetime to acquire.<br />
Moreover, a manageable<br />
empty-nester home does<br />
not need to mean cramped<br />
spaces. If moving away<br />
works for you, go for it.<br />
But if you don’t want to<br />
lose what you love about<br />
the North Shore, build.<br />
