In New Construction: The 2009 Fall Collection, we’ve brought you listings from
Calumet Heights to Shorewood, and have touched on every Chicagoland suburb and city neighborhood in between, including a few neighborhoods you might never have even heard of before. There
is something for everyone, including multimillion-dollar homes, condominiums, townhomes and
homesites. This comprehensive guide is the only one of its kind, and could be an invaluable tool
as you comb Chicagoland to find the perfect new home for your clients. See New Construction:
The 2009 Fall Collection beginning on page 10.
