Del Webb is at it again. After already announcing new (and large) construction projects in Tennessee and Florida in the last month, the national builder of active adult communities disclosed that it was building another new community in Illinois, its first in the Chicagoland area in over 15 years. Similar to other Del Webb projects under the company’s GenYou collection, the community (named Lincoln Prairie by Del Webb) will feature 550 detached single-family homes on 474 acres.
At its grand opening this fall, Lincoln Prairie by Del Webb will debut six model homes available to tour. But floor plans will include large kitchen islands, tall sliding glass doors to maximize natural light, spacious owner’s suites with spa-like baths, and ample storage space. There will also be a 16,000-square-foot clubhouse with amenities including both indoor and outdoor pools, courts for tennis, bocce, and pickleball, a fitness center, billiards room, and a full-time lifestyle director.
