Secluded Schererville Community Celebrates
Grand Opening Today
Once inside the existing mature trees and
foliage that are an integral part of Camden
Woods, you would never know that Schererville’s
reinvigorated downtown area is just minutes
away. Featuring a cobblestone-bordered natural
lake that has a private fishing pier, dramatic
fountain and an adjacent park area, there
is also a vast, densely-wooded nature preserve
and plans for a wildlife preserve to be
created with 42 species of native wildflowers
in this very private and distinctively natural
community.
“Camden Woods is more exclusive than
some of our other single-family communities.
There will be a fewer number of homes than
something we usually develop,” Carmen
Ware, Olthof Homes sales manager, said.
“Based on our research, there is a
growing demand for private locations that
still offer easy access to all of the wonderful
amenities and charm of our hometowns. Camden
Woods is amazingly secluded for being so
close to all of the great things Schererville
has to offer its residents.”
From Lake Central’s award-winning
school system to an abundance of nearby
shopping and dining options, Schererville
also takes measurable pride in its convenient
downtown area, thriving park program and
old-fashioned community spirit.
With the grand opening celebration scheduled
from 11am to 4pm today at Camden Woods,
now is the time to visit the onsite sales
center for a closer look at this exceptional
community where opportunities are waning.
“Over 70% of the home sites were sold
prior to the grand opening at Camden Woods,”
Ware said. “Similar to our maintenance-free
communities, Camden Woods’ private
atmosphere gives you that ‘away at
the cottage’ mindset. With just one
through street, entrance and exit, this
community is tucked away on 75th Street,
just east of Cline Avenue. The location
is amazingly secluded, while offering residents
the luxury of living in town.
While the plans for Camden Woods include
66 single-family homes on ample lots, there
are currently just 18 remaining opportunities.
These include four Ready to Move in Homes,
two of which will be complete soon while
foundations have been poured for the other
two, and 14 home sites offering a range
of premium views and sizes throughout the
community.
The five available floor plans for Camden
Woods include two which are the luxuriously
appointed model homes, the Providence, a
1-1/2 story home with 2,250 square feet
of living space, 4 bedrooms, 2-1/2 baths
and a 2-car garage, and the Sumner, a 2-story
with 2,400 square feet of living space,
3 or 4 bedrooms, 2-1/2 baths and a 2-car
garage; plus a 2,100 square foot ranch plan
called the Huntley, a 2,320 square foot
2-story called the Manchester and a 3,000
square foot 2-story called the Executive.
“Because the lot sizes do vary throughout
the community, we have carefully plotted
which of the five floor plans we offer here
will work on each home site in conjunction
with our extensive efforts to save as many
trees as possible,” she said. “As
a result, some features, such as concrete
driveways and basements have been included
in the standard plans for the homes at Camden
Woods.”
Additional standard features at Camden Woods
include 9-foot ceilings, walk-in closets
in the master bedrooms, utility/laundry
tub in all floor plans with main-level laundry
rooms in select plans, gas forced-air heating
system, air conditioner, 40-gallon automatic
gas-fired water heater, poured concrete
foundation walls, vinyl siding, brick and
stone exteriors, exterior electrical outlets,
steel exterior doors, steel pre-finished
garage door and 10-year residential warranty.
Some of the Olthof Homes’ luxury options
offered at Camden Woods include sunrooms,
a loft area on the second levels, fireplaces
and master suites with whirlpool tubs and
separate showers.
All total, there are 22 possibilities of
exterior looks in Camden Woods, which are
monitored closely by Olthof to ensure variety
on every block of the community.
“Single family communities that have
a variety of homes tend to be more desirable
than those that are more ‘cookie cutter’
in nature,” Ware said. “The
desirability factor plays a major role in
maximizing the homeowner’s investment,
which is something that Olthof homeowners’
appreciate.”
Throughout April buyers at Camden Woods
can take advantage of Olthof Homes’
current promotion which allows them to ‘Fill
in the Blanks’ with $3,000 towards
appliances. This promotion is available
for both new construction and Ready to Move
in Homes.
Since 1961 Olthof Homes has built thousands
of homes in communities throughout Northeast
Illinois and Northwest Indiana. Their hallmark
is designing a wide selection of homes in
ideal locations with unique settings, appealing
exteriors and open floor plans. These strengths
have made them a leader in the local home
building market.
While Olthof has earned a reputation for

environments, single-family communities
such as Camden Woods bring the value of
their product along with the strengths of
their outstanding home warranty and customer
care department to another market.
