The Gardens on Prairie Rose
Web Site is under reconstruction.  Please be patient.  May 2010

Wonderfully landscaped, this design is very creative even if the picture, reduced from a poster, is tough to see here.  Plenty of green spaces and plenty of parking.

The first phase is the area below the boulevard parkway and surrounding the pool/clubhouse area.  There is a central green space in the middle of Phase I (68 units).  Phase II is composed of the three 8-unit buildings at the bottom left of the picture.  Phase III is composed of the six buildings (three 4-unit buildings and three 8-unit buildings at the top left of the picture.  And so on to the completion of the project moving east.

It is over landscaped.  Not just a tree or bush here and there, we have lots of plantings.  Much more than any building code ever requires.  Our goal is to make it a garden on the prairie.

See below for street names.

The main boulevard street coming into the property from the right (east) is Prairie Rose Drive.  (Prairie Rose intersects with Highway 251 at a traffic light about 1/4 mile east of the property.  Note that between Phase II and Phase III, right opposite the clubhouse and pool, Prairie Rose continues west and the boulevard becomes Bluestem Drive.  Bluestem curves out of the project a short distance later (to the bottom left) and continues back east into the side of the Hilander Super Market.  Confusing? The main boulevard/parkway street has two names, that is confusing.  Prairie Rose for the East-West section and Bluestem for the North-South section.  

 The street in Phase I is Indigo Place, named after the prairie flower.  The Second Phase is on Bluestem and Prairie Rose.  Phase III is Violet Walk.  Next will come Sunflower Run then Clover Court, and finally Rose Way.  Want to know more about the tall grass prairies of Illinois?  Visit this web site.
