M/I Homes, one of the top homebuilders in the Chicagoland area, announces it currently has a variety of immediate move-in townhomes available at two southwest suburban communities: Metro East in Orland Park, Ill., and The Townes at Lansdowne in Plainfield, Ill. Homebuyers can also take advantage of financing incentives M/I Homes is offering including special below-market interest rates.
“This is the time of year we typically see the spring real estate season start to heat up, and for those stepping into the market we have a variety of quick-delivery townhomes to choose from that condense the usual lead time for closing on a new-construction home – which means buyers can potentially move in time to enjoy summer in their new home,” said Rick Champine, area president of M/I Homes. “Particularly for anyone weighing how today’s current mortgage rates will impact their buying power, it’s also an ideal time to talk to our sales team about our current financing incentives and learn how they can help maximize their homebuying budget.”
Qualifying buyers using M/I Financial, a subsidiary of M/I Homes that offers financial services and mortgage programs, are eligible for below-market rates or extended long-term rate locks on contracts – resulting in significantly lower monthly payments than with current average mortgage rates.
“Besides offering buyers terrific locations in sought-after suburbs, both The Townes at Lansdowne and Metro East offer some of our most popular townhome floor plans that have the feel and versatility of a single-family home,” noted Cheryl Bonk, vice president of sales and marketing for M/I Homes. “The move-in-ready homes at both communities include in-demand design elements that complement the lifestyles of today’s buyers, from housholds that need flexible space to accommodate remote work schedules, to those seeking extra room and convenient features for a growing family.”
Located in Orland Park at the northeast corner of John Humphrey Drive and 143rd Street, Metro East is in close proximity to South LaGrange Road and is served by the 143rd Street Metra station.

Homes at all M/I Homes communities come standard with a comprehensive 10-year 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.
