AFTER 15 YEARS, DEL WEBB ANNOUNCES NEW ACTIVE ADULT COMMUNITY IN CHICAGO

Lincoln Prairie by Del Webb will offer single-family ranch homes and resort-style amenities for 55+ buyers

Del Webb, the nation’s leading builder of active adult communities for those 55 and older, today announced its first new community in the greater Chicago area in over 15 years: Lincoln Prairie by Del Webb.

Grand opening in the fall, this community will introduce into the market new low-maintenance ranch homes from Del Webb’s GenYou™ collection and resort-style amenities in a prime location. Nestled in Aurora, Illinois’ second largest city, just 10 minutes from a variety of shopping, dining and entertainment destinations along Routes 59 and 34, Lincoln Prairie by Del Webb will be a destination community for 55+ consumers.

“We are thrilled to offer the signature home designs, amenities and lifestyle that Del Webb is known for at a brand-new community in the historic city of Aurora,” said John Hudson, Illinois Division Vice President of Sales for PulteGroup, the parent company of Del Webb. “There is already a lot of excitement and interest, especially among local 55+ buyers who are looking to experience the next stage of life at an active adult community, without having to move away from family in the Chicagoland area.”

At its grand opening, Lincoln Prairie by Del Webb will debut six model homes available to tour. The community will also feature a 16,000 sq. ft. clubhouse with world-class amenities, including both indoor and outdoor pools, courts for tennis, bocce and pickleball, a fitness center, billiards room, and social rooms. A full-time Lifestyle Director will be on-site to develop and manage a robust calendar of activities and events to help residents live their lives to the fullest.

“We are excited and energized to welcome Lincoln Prairie to Aurora,” said Aurora Mayor Richard C. Irvin. “Our collaboration with Del Webb has produced an ideal plan for a standard-setting, state-of-the-art adult community. Lincoln Prairie will help to brighten the City of Lights by enhancing the quality of life for its residents, their families, and our entire city. It will certainly be the benchmark for others to emulate.”

Del Webb’s GenYou™ collection of home designs were created after extensive research and consumer feedback to reflect the evolving needs and expectations of active adult living. With practical features to enhance convenience and comfort, designs include large kitchen islands, tall sliding glass doors to maximize natural light and flow easily between indoor and outdoor living, spacious owner’s suites with spa-like baths, and ample storage space. These innovative new designs focus on livability and flexibility with practical features to enhance convenience and comfort, all for the way today’s active adults want to experience their homes.
