Fiscal Responsibility Equals Higher Value at an Erickson Community

Ask Naperville residents Lin and Pat Carter why they chose to join the Priority List at Monarch Landing, and they’ll tell you that they appreciate the value and the financial security.

“A very strong incentive for us was the entrance deposit being 100% refundable,” says Lin, who likes the security of knowing that he and wife Pat will receive their entrance deposit back should they ever decide to leave Monarch Landing.

But just how can Monarch Landing offer such a high level of amenities, including pioneering the 100% Refundable Entrance Deposit, at such an extraordinary value?

Innovation With Your Equity in Mind

For 23 years, John Erickson has instilled a model of respect, leadership, exceptional service, responsive best-practice management, and fiscal responsibility throughout the organization.

Solid investors, a skilled not-for-profit board of directors, and careful planning have allowed Erickson to offer an unparalleled lifestyle to more than 16,000 people nationwide.

The 100% Refundable Entrance Deposit provides financial security while simultaneously giving Erickson the means to minimize debt-service costs. As a result of this smart financial planning, Erickson keeps both your initial investment and your monthly service package much lower than companies that pass on the cost of long-term debt to their customers.

Keeping Costs Down

Another result of Erickson’s careful financial planning is the comprehensive monthly service package. Your monthly service package covers everything that you are currently paying for in your home, expect telephone service. That includes one meal  daily in your choice of the Millstone restaurant or Riverwalk Café, all utilities and cable TV, all home  maintenance and repairs,the on-site Fitness Center, swimming pool, scheduled transportation, and 24-hour security.

But unlike in your house, you never need to worry about soaring utility costs at Monarch Landing.  No matter how high energy costs climb, the cost of your monthly service package remains fixed all year-round.

That’s more good news for Lin and Pat, who are tired of unpredictable utility bills. “We feel strongly that the monthly service package is comparable, if not even less, than what we’re paying for in our house right now with high taxes and increasing utility costs,” Pat says.

Your home at Monarch Landing has a full warranty, as do all your new appliances. You’ll no longer pay property taxes, property liability insurance, or homeowners association dues. Most people find that they are gaining all of Erickson’s exceptional amenities at an unbeatable value. In fact, 96 percent of current Erickson residents would recommend an Erickson community to others.

Strength in Numbers

To further keep costs down, Erickson applies economies of scale in construction purchasing. Buying in quantity assures better pricing for top-quality materials. Steel and concrete construction, doublepane windows, high R-value insulation, and top-quality finishes all add to the value and comfort of your home.

In order to maintain future demand for Monarch Landing homes, Erickson maintains a Lifecycle Renovation program guaranteed to keep the property and common areas looking fresh and new at all times. Continuous demand safeguards your deposit.

Erickson’s 23-year record of refunding entrance deposits and ensuring that the community’s success rolls into the community’s operations shows that Monarch Landing is clearly a smart financial decision.

Currently, pre-opening pricing makes Monarch Landing an even better financial decision. But with construction ahead of schedule, the deadline is about to expire on your chance to take advantage of the lowest prices you’ll ever see at Monarch Landing.
