Living in Longmeadow

Back in 1971 we have some extra time on our hands on the way to O'Hare and we saw a model home in Longmeadow. We bought it. Then we flew to Denver and when we came back signed off on the deal. We have lived here for over thirty years now, raised our family, put in a swimming pool and call our back yard a cottage! It's a great place to live and shop – five minutes from Oak Brook mall, 10 minutes from Yorktown Mall, and only eight minutes from the train.
