Monarch Landing Offers a Less Taxing Solution

By Melissa Borgerding

If you think you paid far too much for property taxes in 2005, just wait. According to The Chicago Tribune, property taxes are likely to climb even higher this year, along with record-high home prices.

Property Taxes Set to Soar

Property taxes can be a terrible burden to homeowners. Even if you’ve paid off your mortgage, you still have to continue to pay those outrageous property taxes.

While the government has a limited number of programs to help homeowners with the rising cost of property taxes, you’ll have to cut through a lot of red tape before you can even find out if you’re qualified for those programs.

A better solution is Monarch Landing. When you live at Monarch Landing, you’ll never have to worry about writing that painful property tax check again.

At Erickson communities, you pay discounted taxes that are included in the cost of your monthly service package.

Freedom from Rising Costs

In addition to property taxes, the monthly service package includes all of your utilities (except phone), one dining experience a day, and countless amenities like Monarch Landing’s unique climate-controlled walkways.

Barbara Smart from Naperville finds the monthly service package a great value. “If you add up what you pay to live in your house every month, it’s comparable to the cost of the monthly service package. And the monthly service package covers a lot!”

Already Feeling the Relief

Already, Chicagoland residents who live at Sedgebrook, Monarch Landing’s sister community in Lincolnshire are feeling the tax relief, and enjoying the convenience of Erickson’s monthly service package.

“The monthly service package is most welcome,” says Sedgebrook resident Leonard Goldin. “It’s a comfort knowing I’ll write one reasonable check a month, as opposed to several checks.”
