Hinsdale Meadows wins awards
Hinsdale Meadows received a total of seven awards for design, innovation and interior design at the Home Builders Association of Greater Chicago’s 47th Annual Key Awards Nov. 6 in Chicago.
Hinsdale Meadows, a new community of 64 duplex villa townhomes and cluster single family homes, located at the corner of 55th and County Line Road, earned the top award — the Crystal Key — given by the association for “best of the best” in innovation and creativity for its Torrington single family semi-custom home. In addition, the community earned two Platinum Keys and four Gold Keys for outstanding design: single family semi-custom home and multi-family townhomes, and excellence in interior design: single family home and multi-family townhomes.
Hinsdale Meadows, developed by affiliates of Edward R. James Companies of Glenview, was re-launched in 2017, following a re-zoning and re-positioning of the community to offer first-floor, “maintenance-free” living for residents seeking to downsize and/or upgrade into a new home with modern layouts, finishes and features.
