Models debut, sales begin at
Boulder Hill in Montgomery
NEW COMMUNITY OFFERS AFFORDABLE CONVERTED CONDOS &
TOWNHOMES STARTING AT $75,900 NEAR FOX RIVER AND QUALITY SCHOOLS
Sales are officially underway at Boulder Hill, a new community
of converted condominiums and townhomes in Montgomery, where
three models recently opened.
Totaling 150 like-new attached residences available in three
different product lines, Boulder Hill offers a wide range of
affordable residential options to buyers—especially those who
are considering or currently are renting and who desire all the
benefits of a low-maintenance, attached home, as well as a
convenient address within a quality school district.
“These Boulder Hill residences are completely updated and
freshly painted. And they’re equipped with all-new kitchens,
fixtures, tubs and showers, flooring, cabinets and countertops,”
said Stacey Doweidt, sales associate for SW Boulder Venture,
LLC, developers of the property.
“They’re virtually undistinguishable from recently built units,
and yet our prices are significantly lower than what you’d pay
for a comparable new construction home,” said Doweidt, who noted
that the impressive base prices start at only $75,900 (all
prices subject to change without notice).
Doweidt said that Boulder Hill is particularly appealing to
first-time buyers who may be sitting on the fence about whether
they should rent or purchase a home.
“The advantages of owning your own home greatly outweigh any
benefits of leasing,” she said. “When you purchase a residence,
you can deduct—within certain limits—your property taxes and
mortgage loan interest on your yearly federal and state income
tax returns.”
Additionally, homeowners are able to build up equity that can
appreciate over time, a benefit that’s not shared by renters,
who fork over rent money every month that they will never see
again, Doweidt noted. Moreover, rent is susceptible to inflation
and cost-of-living increases that can amount to approximately
four percent or more every year.
“Conversely, when you purchase a home with a fixed-rate mortgage
loan, you can count on paying the same principal and interest
amount every month. Property taxes, insurance and maintenance
costs are the only expenses that will increase gradually over
time,” she said.
The three types of homes Boulder Hill buyers can select from
are:
- Traditional condominiums,
featuring one to two bedrooms, one bath, large living and
dining area, kitchen and spacious walk-in closets. Prices
range from $75,900 to $89,000, and square footages span
approximately 570 to 800.
- Ranch-style condominiums,
offering two bedrooms, one bath, living room, oversized
eat-in kitchen and private front and rear entries—priced at
$109,900 and sized at approximately 725 square feet.
- Two-story townhomes,
including three bedrooms, one bathroom, large eat-in
kitchen, generously sized living room, private front and
rear entries and rear concrete patio (views of the Fox River
also available, depending on the unit). Each is priced at
$119,900 and offer approximately 950 to 1,000 square feet of
living space.
Low monthly assessments, which
range from $113 to $178 (per unit), cover routine maintenance
and upkeep, lawn care, snow and trash removal, liability and
casualty insurance on common property, and management and
administrative services.
Doweidt, who added that two-bedroom townhomes will be introduced
soon, said that shoppers can now tour three models: a
one-bedroom traditional condominium and a two-bedroom
traditional condominium, both furnished by Ikea in Schaumburg;
plus an unfurnished ranch-style condominium— which includes a
number of upgrades like new stainless steel appliances and oak
kitchen cabinets and is available for immediate delivery for
only $111,000.
“With our low grand opening pricing in effect, this is a
fantastic time to buy a Boulder Hill condominium or townhome and
reap all the benefits of home ownership,” said Doweidt. “While a
number of units have already been claimed in the three weeks
since opening, we have a wide selection of residences available
in Phase I. Plus, interest rates remain appealingly low, and if
you’re getting a tax refund you can use it toward your down
payment.”
“What’s more,” she said, “we’ve partnered with Countrywide Home
Loans to offer a variety of attractive lending programs. So when
you visit Boulder Hill, it’s like convenient one-stop
shopping—you can walk through our models, meet with our sales
professional to discuss our floorplans and amenities, and then
get pre-qualified right here on-site by a Countrywide
representative. In fact, for those eligible, Countrywide is also
providing non-repayable bank express grants of up to $1,500 to
cover your closing costs.”
First move-ins at the community are expected by mid March; a
conversion can be completed on any chosen unit in as quickly as
four weeks, Doweidt said.
Boulder Hill homeowners will appreciate the surrounding
neighborhood and Montgomery’s built-in perks, she added.
“This location is ideal for buyers searching for both secluded
sanctuary and civilization. It’s nestled among mature, shady
trees and is ideally situated within walking distance of the Fox
River, which offers canoeing, fishing, picnicking and jogging
and biking paths,” said Doweidt. “Living here, residents get
away from all the noise and traffic. Yet, they’re close to Fox
River recreational activities and Fox Valley Center shopping.”
In addition, Boulder Hill is easily accessible to I-88 and
downtown Montgomery Metra commuter train service. Parents can
send their children to highly acclaimed Oswego district no. 308
schools.
The Boulder Hill sales office is located at 4 Rocky Way, Suite
13, in Montgomery. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. To reach
the community, take I-88 west to the Orchard Road exit; head
south on Orchard and turn left (east) onto Rt. 30; turn right
(south) onto Briarcliff Road; turn left (east) onto Boulder Hill
Pass; proceed to the sales center and models on the right. For
