Why a Finished Community Matters Here

The builders have sold their last homes here, so what you buy is a resale, and the choice is set by what owners put on the market.
No builder price list: there are no new homes to compare against. Price is set by recent resales in the community, which the August snapshot above tracks.
Two sections: the North section went up first, from 2009, and the South section is newer. The age and finishes of a home depend on which section it is in.
Older homes: the earliest homes are now more than 15 years old. Roofs, heat pumps and water heaters from the original build may be near the end of their life, so a home inspection matters.
Newer homes: homes in the South section built in the 2020s may still carry part of a builder warranty. Ask for the paperwork.
We will pull the build year and the section for any home you are considering before you write an offer.
