TOWNHOMES AT BUCKINGHAM ORCHARD IN LOMBARD PERFECTLY POSITIONED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF JOBS AND GROWTH IN SURROUNDING AREA
Residents Living At This Luxury Low Maintenance Enclave Can Have Short Commutes And Easy Access To Many Employers

Lombard, IL - (July 7, 2008) - There are a lot of great reasons to purchase a new luxury townhome at Buckingham Orchard in west suburban Lombard, but one reason may surprise buyers: this community is located within seven miles of an estimated 600,000 jobs. Designed and built by The Dearborn-Buckingham Group, Buckingham Orchard is a beautiful low-maintenance townhome enclave that can mean short commutes to excellent jobs. This exclusive neighborhood combines its great location with spacious and nicely appointed townhomes that represent an outstanding value. Buckingham Orchard is located just off Route 53 and south of North Avenue in Lombard, with just 34 luxury townhomes making up the community. There are six different floor plans available across two exciting series, with prices starting under $300,000. A decorated and furnished model is open for tours during regular sales center hours.

"Buckingham Orchard has been popular with townhome buyers for a multitude of reasons, but many shoppers may not have realized how well positioned this community is to take advantage of a quick and economical commute to work. It's location, location, location all over again, but with a 21st century twist," said Christopher Coleman, president of The Dearborn-Buckingham Group. "According to the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), within a seven mile radius of Buckingham Orchard's location, there are currently about 600,000 jobs. This means a great likelihood of a buyer at this community working within this seven mile radius and being able to enjoy the benefits of a quick and economical commute, especially with gas prices well over $4 a gallon these days."

Not only is Buckingham Orchard strategically located to take advantage of this great number of jobs, CMAP also forecasts the creation of an additional 145,000 jobs by 2030 in the 23 suburbs around and close to Lombard. According to CMAP statistics, Schaumburg alone, which is just 10 minutes from Buckingham Orchard, currently boasts over 87,000 jobs, with an increase of nearly 25,000 slated over the next 20 years.
