Edward R. James Companies is proud to announce the closeout of another successful community—Brighton Mews, our 29-unit luxury townhome development in the heart of Park Ridge, Ill.

A model home is also under construction at the community.

Kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms will always be hot buttons when home buyers decide how to personalize their homes. To remain relevant, builders must stay ahead of product trends in these areas.
If you’re out shopping for a home this weekend, bring your checkbook. There may still be ice on the ground in much of the nation, but the spring housing market is the hottest it’s been in a decade. Consumer sentiment in both the economy and the housing market is rising and that is translating into strong demand from homebuyers. The trouble is, the supply of homes for sale is incredibly weak and getting weaker. What is for sale is selling fast.
