Prairie Crossing
Home Models
The single-family homes of Prairie Crossing are well known for excellent design and architecture. More than eleven accomplished architects worked to design house models and community buildings based on the Midwestern architectural tradition. Architects were asked to study the early Lake County houses and barns to create an authentic sense of place, employ the latest energy-efficient techniques and to keep the houses modest in size. For the new homes, a diverse palette of prairie colors were offered that fit with each other as they do in the prairie itself. This has resulted in the distinctive look of the Prairie Crossing single-family homes. Close to twenty-five single-family home plans were offered and there is an integrated feel to the architecture because each plan is grounded in the history of the area. In addition to single-family homes, 36 maintenance-free 2 and 3 bedroom one-level condominiums are set around Station Square, a town square located just steps away from shops and the train.
