With recently released Commerce Department data showing new-construction home sales continued to rise in May, new-construction options are in high demand. For Chicago-area buyers looking for newly built homes they can move into right away, Taylor Johnson client Barnett Homes has several recently completed properties available in sought-after suburbs and city neighborhoods alike. Two of those homes were recently profiled in the Chicago Tribune’s Dream Home feature — a Southport Corridor residence with a two-level roof deck, and a five-bedroom Hinsdale home adjacent to a neighborhood park. Check out the full features for more on each home.

This new-construction home by Barnett Homes is located next to a neighborhood park in Hinsdale.
