M/I Homes, one of the top homebuilders in the Chicagoland area, announces it is bringing more than 300 new-construction single-family homes to the western suburbs with the introduction of Piper Glen in Oswego, Ill.

The builder celebrated the debut of the new community with a Village Appreciation Ceremony, during which Oswego Village President Ryan Kauffman was presented with an official M/I Homes shovel to commemorate the beginning of a fruitful partnership. Three model homes are currently under construction and are expected to be completed for a grand opening event in mid-March, which will also mark the start of sales at the community.

“Piper Glen puts homebuyers in the heart of the beautiful Fox River Vally, while also giving them easy access to the many conveniences of this fast-growing area including the burgeoning Route 34 corridor,” said Rick Champine, area president of M/I Homes. “With more than 300 homes, it is poised to become a sought-after neighborhood where residents can take full advantage of everything Oswego has to offer in the way of small-town charm, highly regarded schools and plentiful options for recreation, shopping and dining.”

Located off Wolf’s Crossing Road near Route 34, Piper Glen is five minutes from downtown Oswego and also a short distance from area schools as well as popular area amenities including Prairie Point Community Park. The community will offer eleven two-story floor plans from M/I Homes’ Classic Series and Smart Series of home designs, as well as five ranch floor plans from the builder’s brand-new Somerset Series. Homes measure 1,474 to 3,831 square feet and have two to six bedrooms, two to five baths and attached two- or three-car garages. Base prices start in the $340,000s.

“The scale of Piper Glen means we are able to give buyers a tremendous variety of floor plans and price points to choose from and ensure they can find a home that truly works for their lifestyle – whether they are move-up buyers who need space for a growing family, first-time buyers making a financial step up into homeownership, or downsizers seeking single-level living,” said Cheryl Bonk, vice president of sales and marketing for M/I Homes. “Representing three of our most popular design series, each of these floor plans has a unique mix of features and flexible spaces that buyers can further personalize with options ranging from fireplaces and morning rooms to additional bedrooms and garage bays. By attending our grand opening and touring the new models, buyers can begin to imagine the possibilities for their new home at Piper Glen.”

Homes at all M/I Homes communities come standard with the builder’s industry-leading 15-Year Transferable Structural Warranty, which not only allows buyers to purchase with confidence, but also adds value if the home is sold in the future. All homes are also WHOLE HOME Certified, an M/I Homes designation indicating the builder’s superior approach when constructing homes. Upon testing, an M/I home will receive a more favorable HERS (Home Energy Rating System) score than an Energy Star-certified home, which can save buyers upwards of 30 percent on their energy bills. A lower HERS Index means lower energy costs, and on average an M/I home achieves a HERS rating of 62, considerably lower than other resale homes and other builders in the market.
