Raum Sandoval lived in an apartment in Ukrainian Village\u00a0and was ready to purchase a new home with his (now) fianc\u00e9, Rosalie Kapanga. They searched for a while in different areas around the city, and then Raum decided to check out what was available from Lexington Homes. Although he was just now purchasing his first home, he knew and trusted Lexington Homes\u2014he grew up living in them.<\/p>\n

Since the late 90s, Raum\u2019s mother has lived in two different Lexington Homes in the suburbs. \u201cMy mom is a fan of Lexington,\u201d said Raum. \u201cShe thought it was definitely safe to buy. She always had good experiences and loved the process of picking her selections and building from scratch. We always had good experiences with the homes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raum started his search with LexingtonHomes.com, and using a realtor helped him to easily narrow his choice between two of Lexington\u2019s Chicago communities. \u201cWe have friends who live in Lexington Square, so besides seeing the model homes, we were able to see our friend\u2019s place too and get an idea of what the homes look like to live in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ultimately, he ended up picking a home at Lexington Shore in Hyde Park<\/a>. \u201cWe picked Lexington Shore because I love Hyde Park and used to live nearby. There is so much around the community like restaurants and stores,\u201d said Raum. They also loved the layouts offered at the Lexington homes. \u201cIn Chicago, so many homes offer long narrow layouts. Before narrowing our search to Lexington, we saw a few of these and they looked like nothing special. We saw one 3-floor layout we liked that was a top choice, but then we looked at Lexington and the homes had a similar layout, but quite a bit wider. There we\u2019d get a lot more room, and we fell in love with it right away. It was an easy decision once we looked at everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raum\u2019s favorite room in their new home is the kitchen. \u201cI like it because I picked out a lot of it, and it turned out. We did custom countertops with a big, wide sink. It\u2019s really nice,\u201d said Raum.<\/p>\n

Raum and Rosalie have been living in their new home for just over a month. \u201cWe\u2019re pretty much settled in,\u201d said Raum. \u201cI love it.\u201d Earlier this month they hosted a Friendsgiving and a housewarming and engagement celebration.<\/p>\n

The people at Lexington are so happy to be the choice for this second generation of homeowners, and to have a part in Raum and Rosalie\u2019s new adventure. Congratulations on your engagement and your new home!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
