Inverness On The Pond-Gated Community of Homes Inverness Illinois

One of the prettiest gated communities in my area is Inverness On The Pond which is located in Inverness Illinois. This community is home to about 400 resident families, lots of ponds and therefore geese, ducks and swans. I visited Inverness On The Pond to take pictures of a home that has unfortunately gone into foreclosure. I provide these for the banks when asked and give them an estimate of property value. Although today was not sunny it was nice to see the trees in bloom and the grass and shrubs are greening up nicely.

Inverness Illinois is home to primarily single family homes and most of the homes in this gated community - called Inverness On The Pond for very good reason - are also single family homes. There are a few townhomes here. Ownership is condominium which does mean they are condos. It is a type of ownership not a type of property. To you this means that your association is responsible for exterior maintenance, yard care, snow removal, for which you will pay a monthly assessment fee.

Access to this gated community is off Roselle Road just opposite the Inverness Golf Course entrance. Inverness On The Pond has a guard on the gate so only residents, service providers and those with appointments can get inside. This affords the residents with both security and a peaceful neighborhood.

Look at the swans on one of the ponds. Such majestic creatures - Mama to be is happily sitting atop her nest which no doubt has several eggs and signets will be here soon. There were a few Mallards around and both these birds live in relative harmony. The Canadian Geese were not around and generally do not get along with the swans very well. Swans are used as a deterrent to the Canadian Geese.

If you live at Inverness On The Pond you can take a leisurely walk around the gated community with a safe place for kids to ride their bikes away from constant traffic. Children will go to Marion Jordan Elementary School, Walter Sundling Junior High School and Fremd High School.
