“We’re honored to start Spencer Homes’ first full development in Glen Carbon and to collaborate with surrounding neighbors as well as the Village staff, Meridian Plaza development team and local officials. This type of product is limited in our area, and these will be the first attached villas built in years. With prices starting in the $400,000s, we’re excited to offer a high-quality, low-maintenance living option in a community with so much to offer its residents. We know Meridian Grove will be a great addition to the area,” said Spencer Homes Founder Mike Rathgeb.

The neighborhood will feature 17 single-family homes on an extension of Auerbach Place, followed by 16 attached villas lining Celtics Court. Customers can expect masonry on front elevations, durable composite siding, and low-maintenance decking materials on the exterior. Interiors will showcase a generous amount of hard-surface flooring, beautiful cabinetry and solid countertops. Spencer Homes will offer its signature long-term mobility features, providing lasting comfort and accessibility, all backed by the company’s 20-year history of quality craftsmanship.

This development will be the company’s fourth maintenance-free, HOA-managed community, providing lawn care, snow and ice removal, and landscape upkeep. Spencer Homes is also finalizing details to offer neighboring community, Latitude 38, amenities including pool, dog park and fitness center for added lifestyle perks at Meridian Grove.
