I have a lot of buyers ask me "What is a coach home or a manor home anyway"?  It all started with Lexington Builders on the eastern edge of Schaumburg somewhere 30 years ago.  A 'Coach Home' is simply a different name for a "quad" or group of 4 homes put together.  In the coach home layout there are 2 homes on the 1st floor and 2 homes on the 2nd floor.  Then 2 of these groups of 4 are put together for a total of 8 and 'voila' the coach home!  Some other builders in the area also spun the name 'Manor Home' but it is the same concept. (Building Plan below).Lexington Green is a large coach home community located off Meacham Road just south of Schaumburg Road on both the east & west sides of the street.  The community does offer a pool and clubhouse for the residents and exterior maintenan...
