Lexington Homes opens 3 townhouse models at Metro on Main

Chicago-based Lexington Homes has opened three models and begun welcoming its first residents at Metro on Main, a new maintenance-free community of 89 townhouses in north-suburban Morton Grove. The new models showcase the homebuilder’s redesign of its popular Mews series of townhouses. Metro on Main has already surpassed the 70% sold mark in less than eight months.

Located at 8350 Lehigh Ave., Metro on Main is in a prime location near major retailers like Amazon Fresh, Costco, Target, Kohl’s and fitness club LA Fitness. The community is a short walk from the Morton Grove Metra train station, a 10-minute drive to the Dempster Skokie Swift “L” station and offers convenient access to Interstates 94 and 294. Residents are in proximity to countless recreational options.

“Even before we opened the models, we were seeing strong demand at Metro on Main due to its convenient location and flexible floor plans, so we knew buyers would respond well to the models — but I don’t think I’ve seen this positive of a reaction to models since before the Great Recession,” said Jeff Benach, principal of Lexington Homes. “With three levels of living, the largest windows and kitchens we’ve ever offered in townhouses, and a smart redesign of the staircase that created more floor space, the No. 1 comment we hear is that the plans live like a single-family home — even the interior units.

“Right now, buyers can still have a choice of floor plan and building location, but those homes won’t close until Q4 2025 due to the volume of sales we’ve had at the community. Housing inventory throughout the Chicago area is still low, and Metro on Main truly represents one of the only options for a modern, new home in a great urban/suburban location.”

Buyers can choose from three floor plans, the Orchid, Lotus and Juniper, each shown as a model home. Base-priced from the $460,000s, the three-level rowhomes range from 1,780 to 2,278 square feet and offer two to four bedrooms, 2½ to 3½ baths, balconies and attached rear-facing, two-car garages.

All plans feature a finished lower level, with access to the garage; a main living level with open-concept kitchen, dining and living areas as well as a powder room and balcony; and an upper level with bedrooms, full baths, a linen closet and laundry room. The Juniper design is always an end unit, while the Lotus and Orchid can have interior or end-unit locations.

The three models feature a variety of standard finishes and upgrade options. The models also show a selection of available architectural/structural changes.

The Orchid model, which is base-priced from $464,990, features two bedrooms, 2½ baths and measures 1,780 square feet.

“A private den off the main living level of a townhouse is very unusual but we have offered it at numerous communities, and it’s been a hit with homebuyers every time,” said Benach. “This flexible space, which includes an enormous wall of windows, appeals to buyers seeking a remote workspace close to the kitchen ‘hub’ of the home.”

Upstairs, the model has dual primary bedroom suites, the larger of which has a vaulted ceiling and large walk-in closet.

The Lotus model base-priced from $514,990, has three bedrooms, two full baths, two half baths and measures 1,954 square feet. The model’s upper level includes a primary suite with a vaulted ceiling and a walk-in closet. Two secondary bedrooms share a full hall bath.

The Juniper base-priced from $574,990, is the largest plan at 2,278 square feet, with the model featuring a four-bedroom, 3½-bath design. The model’s lower level is shown as a bedroom with a walk-in closet and en suite bath.

Homes at Metro on Main include 9-foot ceilings and luxury plank flooring throughout the main level. Kitchens feature 42-inch upper cabinets, quartz countertops, a large island with breakfast bar overhang, and energy-efficient stainless steel GE appliances. Baths, per plan, include ceramic flooring, dual sinks, quartz vanity tops and private water closets.
