Rezoning For Fairway Woods Area Possible in Durham, NC

The quaint subdivision of Fairway Woods in Durham, NC is about to get a makeover if Pulte Builders gets its way.  They are seeking rezoning of 84 acres to build about 300 homes.  The zoning now is for two houses an acre.  That is almost four times the density now.  

     

I drove by and saw where the entrance would be and it looks like a little sleepy town street.  If Pulte Builders gets its way there will be over 2,300 more cars on the road daily.   I couldn't imagine that but on the other hand there is progress that has to be made and trees to cut down.  Someone has to make a buck.

I live in Brightwood Trails which is a subdivision similar to the one proposed by Pulte Builders and I like it but then my street doesn't empty into an existing subdivision.  I feel for the residents and hope they win some of what they want from the builder.

Creekside at Bethpage Durham, NC

I have been looking at new construction sites like Creekside at Bethpage in Durham, NC for several weeks.  These are just around the corner from where I live in Brightwood Trails so the distance isn't very far and the people are great. 

Creekside at Bethpage is built by AV Homes.  The builder is also building in Florida and Arizona.  If you over 55 communities but aren't ready to move into one you can buy stock in the company.  The ticker for AV Homes is AVHI.  I am over 55 but ready for the Creekside at Bethpage so will have to look into the stock.

                

Creekside at Bethpage is a very large over 55 community.  It is also just around the corner from just about everything you need in life from the interstates, RDU airport, shopping but also the major Universities in the area.  

With prices starting in the low $300's and lots of models to choose from Creekside at Bethpage appears to be a winner.  All of the houses I went into looked to have a well thought out floorplan and beautifully finished.  Of course with prices like these you expect the best such as Energy Star ratings, granite, wood floors, basements if you want one and a spectacular 13,000 sq ft community center.  Did I say 13,000 sq ft commuity center with a staff of six?  I did so this place should keep anyone hopping for a long time.  How about Zuba, couple's cooking and gardening classes, day-trips to local vineyards and geocaching.  Sounds like fun.  Remember when you buy into Creekside at Bethpage you aren't only buying a home you buying a community as well.  

Creekside at Bethpage also fits into my HomeTown Hero program.  If you are not sure what HomeTown Heros is all about, click here for details.   What a great progam and I am honered to be a part of dream.  

To sum it all up how could it get any better than Creekside at Bethpage, AV Homes, 13,000 sq ft community center, HomeTown Heros and Gene Allen as your buyers' agent.  

When I moved to Brightwood Trails I never thought that Poop 'n Scoop wasn't a law.  Now I know better as I just read in the News and Observer that it is now a crime not to scoop your pets poop.  The Durham Board of County Commissioners officially adopted a regulation called "Removal of Canine Waste".

Now if you are on public property, public right of way, or any private property without the owners permission you must scoop the poop from the pooch.  I always take care of mine but I know there are plenty of others that do not so hopefully this will spur them on to scoop the poop expecially in Brightwood Trails.

Rustica Oaks Durham, NC

I always travel down to the Durham Freeway and turn right or left.  Today I went straight and came across a new construction site called Rustica Oaks.  This is not far from my own new construction site of Brightwood Trails.  The new builder at Rustica Oaks is Mungo Homes out of South Carolina.  It looks like the builder is in three or four different states.  Chesapeake Homes is all but sold out there but there may be one or two left.  Give Gene Allen a call to find out.

Rustica Oaks is just opening a new section of homes and were in pre-sales at the time I was there.  There should be around 100 single family home so they will be open a while.  Remember though to get the best price and location call Gene Allen now so we can lock it in.  The model was nicely finished and they were touting the energy efficiency of the home over other builders in the area.  

                

Did you want a basement? Well Mungo Homes offers a floor plan with a basement.  Need granite countertops, hardwood floors or speakers in the kitchen?  Again you can get all that with Mungo Homesand the unique floor plans they offer.  

               

Don't forget that Rustica Oaks fits into my HomeTown Hero program.  If you don't know whatHomeTown Heros is all about please click on this Link to find out what you are missing.  If you don't qualify maybe you know someone who might and would pass their name on to Gene Allen.

Townes At Brier Creek Crossing Durham, NC

I just visited Townes At Brier Creek Crossing in Durham, NC.  Wow that is just around the corner from my community of Brightwood Trails and not far from I540 as well as RDU airport.  Did I forget the Triangle Industrial Park is right there as well.

  

The Townes At Brier Creek Crossing is a good looking townhouse community with some really nice features in a great area.  How close to Target, Super Walmart, Dicks, the movies or Earth Fare would you like to be?  I think this would be a great place for a home for any of my HomeTown Hero buyers.

Winsford At The Park Durham, NC

Winsford At The Park is a rather whimsical sounding name for a new homes community and its not very far from where I live in Durham, NC.  My wife likes to look at new construction as that is what she did for most of her career in real estate. Turns out Winsford At The Park isn't quite open for business but the model is almost completed and several other homes are being readied as we speak.

  

Going through the model home before it is completed is a challenge as you need vision.  The construction seemed sound and the fit and finish were looking good.  The materials were quite nice with some extra touches I had not seen in other homes in this price range.  

So what is Winsford At The Park?  It is a new home community built by Jordan Built Signature Homes. The homes are an elegant new townhome collection according to the builder,  There will be four spacious floor plans designed with the upmost in privacy in mind.  Featuring comfortable living spaces, contemporay interiors and luxurious features.  Winsford At The Park offers the ultimate in location, affordability and convience. If you are looking for a swimming pool, playground or large open spaces then Winsford At The Park is for you.  This place is located close to the Research Triangle Park, RDU airport and all the major highways. 

All in all I think Winsford At The Park should sell pretty well.  It fits into my HomeTown Hero program quite well.  If you aren't familiar with the HomeTown Hero program please click on this HomeTown Hero link to read more about the program.
