Westlake, OH

Crocker-Stearns work delayed

All the rain that has fallen on Westlake this year has caused some unexpected delays. The North Olmsted portion of the Croker-Sterns construction work won't be completed until 09.

This 13 Million dollar project will contect I-480 and I-90 was projected to have the N. Olmsed portion completed by 07 and the remainder finished in 09.

Because of the record rainfall in August and seweres shallower then initially expected in the work area caused a back up of the N. Olmsted portion to spring of 08 and the remainder to 09.

The turbulent financial markets around the world and in the United States have affected the real estate market at the local level. Buyers and Sellers are concerned about the effect the financial markets will have on the market price of homes for Sellers and the availability of reasonal credit terms and interest rates for Buyers. No one has a crystal ball; but, the fact remains that homes will continue to be purchased and sold. Sellers will see lower market prices for their homes, but Sellers will, likewise, obtain their next homes at a lower purchase price. Buyers are still in a Buyers' Market, so there are a number of homes to choose from at each price point and "more home for your money". Buyers, however, need to be prepared for stricter mortgage loan guidelines, when applying for a loan pre-approval and for loan applications. And, more Buyers will qualify for FHA loans, since FHA mortgage loan limits have been raised.

As residents of Westlake (in Settlers Reserve) since 1983, TEAM PRIBISKO has a unique perspective in and knowledge of your neighborhood.

The Estates of Westlake is a prestigious, upscale neighborhood with stately homes. It is one of the most desired neighborhoods in suburban Cleveland, because of the quality of the homes (both in terms of construction and fine appointments); the ample size of the homes, with varied styles; the attractive, well-kept landscaping and yards; and common areas that include the community tennis courts and pool.

A wonderful feature of The Estates of Westlake is its location within Westlake, somewhat secluded, yet close to all of Westlake's amenities. A resident of your neighborhood is approximately one to two miles from everything -- Crocker Park, The Promenade, restaurants of all kinds, a variety of shopping establishments, entertainment and recreation venues, The Cleveland Clinic Foundation Westlake campus, West Shore Hospital, Westlake schools, pre-school and day care centers, beautiful parks, private and public fitness facilities, private and public golf courses, the opportunity to join or coach sports teams for various age groups, etc. (The Westlake Recreation Center Campus is within walking distance.)

The Estates of Westlake provides a sense of warmth and safety. When walking past the stately homes, one quickly gets a sense of community, with residents waving, smiling and saying hello.

A resident of The Estates of Westlake has a commute of approximately 20 minutes to downtown Cleveland and Cleveland Hopkins Airport, as well. There is quick access to I-90 and the Ohio Turnpike. And, the completion of the Crocker/Stearns extension to I-480 is slated for late 2009, which will provide easy access to I-480.

Many residents have finished lower levels in and /or built additions to their homes, rather than leave our neighborhood. Your neighborhood experts have done both. We have a larger living area for our family without leaving the neighborhood we love. We would not consider leaving. Settlers Reserve is the best location in Westlake!!
