My Lakewood Grove History By: Kathy Best It was late 1995 when I first learned about Lakewood Grove. At that time, I was a Vice President with Kimball Hill Homes who was assigned the cross training experience of building homes. Even though I had been in the homebuilding business since 1980, this was my first time getting a chance to build. Lakewood Grove was a brand new community with its entrance off North Eldridge. Hammonds Homes and Kimball Hill Homes were the two builders. It was my job to build the model homes and the first homes for occupancy. When Lakewood Grove first opened, the community only went as far back as Birchview Drive (now just the first stop sign as you enter off N. Eldridge). Beyond that was undeveloped, heavily wooded land. When you came into the neighborhood, the first street to the left was where the model homes were located. I built the two for Kimball Hill Homes on the left side and Hammonds Homes had theirs right across from ours.
