First Resident moves into Prairie Homes

 

The first person to move into our new Prairie Homes duplex units was given the keys to their new home on Wednesday, July 14, 2011.  "Both units will be occupied by the end of July," commented Beth Burg, Senior Living Consultant for the Prairie Homes project.  Plans are underway to begin construction on a second duplex home just east of the first Prairie Home.  In addition to the two families occupying the first Prairie Home duplex, there are five additional deposits that have been filed to reserve the next units as they come on-line.  Burg was enthusiastic about the strong response to the marketing program saying, "we seem to have uncovered an unmet need in the housing community with these senior living units on the campus of Hearthstone Communities." Contact Beth Burg for additional information on Prairie Homes of Hearthstone, 815-321-4078 or click here to email her.
