55+ Grand Haven community
Developed in the early 2000s, the Grand Haven neighborhood is a gated 55+ community less than 40 miles southwest of downtown Chicago. “I moved in when it was first developed in the early 2000s,” says Loretta Alonzo-Deubel, managing broker with Century 21, specializing in listing and selling 55+ communities. She has nearly 50 years of real estate experience. “We moved here after my husband retired, and he needed something to occupy his time. He’s a veteran, and there are veterans’ groups and many activities at the clubhouse. The community also plans side trips to casinos and ball games.” There’s access to outdoor recreation and shopping outside the gates and access to major highways.

HOA fees for amenities in Grand Haven
The homeowners association fees range from $200-$450 monthly and include access to amenities like an indoor and outdoor pool, bocce ball courts, a putting course and a hot tub. “The monthly fee for the townhouses is more because of exterior maintenance,” Alonzo-Deubel says. “The monthly fee for every house includes yard maintenance and snow removal.” The houses are mainly one-story contemporary ranch-style along with townhouses, usually with two bedrooms and between 1,000 and 2,000 square feet. The price range of the houses is between $200,000 and $400,000. “The main difference in the prices is whether or not a house has a basement,” says Angelo Torres, a broker with Trueblood Real Estate with nearly five years of experience.
Grand Haven is filled with mature trees and man made ponds.

Mistwood Golf Club is next door
In addition to the amenities that residents of Grand Haven enjoy in the gated community, the Mistwood Golf Club is next door. It’s not affiliated with the neighborhood but provides an 18-hole golf course inspired by courses in Scotland, where the game was invented. On the grounds of the public course is The Farm at Mistwood Golf Club, which includes a greenhouse on the 6th hole to help supplement the produce at the golf course’s restaurant, McWethy’s Tavern, for a farm-to-table experience. Scene 75 Entertainment Center is a large indoor recreation center that could even be considered an indoor amusement park with a go-kart track, an indoor roller coaster and a drop tower. The facility also includes a full-service bar, private party rooms and a banquet facility that holds up to 300 people.

It’s rated an A-minus on Niche. Richland Junior High School has the same overall grade and is a separate building on the same property as the elementary school.

Grand Haven is a manageable community
With the experience of living in Grand Haven for 23 years, Alonzon-Deubel likes that it’s a manageable community. “With just over 700 homes, there’s a better chance to get to know most people,” she says. “Not like the Villages in Florida, where it’s just too big.” A car is required to get to most public transportation options. It’s less than 10 miles east to get to the Romeoville and Lockport Metra stations and to catch the Pace public bus stop on Independence Boulevard, east of Lewis University.
Many townhomes in Grand Haven have covered entries.
