WHY STYLECRAFT GATEWAY TOWNHOMES ARE THE IDEAL FIRST HOME

June 13, 2016

The realtors and newspapers aren’t lying: this is a tough market to buy your first home. But it doesn’t mean you don’t have options. In fact, StyleCraft Homes undertook two new townhome communities with the first-time home buyer specifically in mind: The Townes at Stonewall Manor and Stone Ridge.

Here are some reasons why you should consider a StyleCraft Gateway townhome as your first home:

The starter home market is challenging. With more and more financial regulations mounting on home builders over the past several years, it’s become difficult for them – despite their desire or best efforts – to build new construction homes at starter home price points. Consequently, construction has focused more on luxury apartments and other dwellings, meaning that the prices of existing starter homes are driven up as inventory is driven down.

No more compromising. When you think of your typical starter home, it’s not just the entry-level price point that defines it. Something is missing. Maybe it’s not in the prime location, needs some elbow grease before it’s ready to be lived in, or simply so small that the kids will need to share bedrooms. With highly desired locations in Henrico County, rock-solid construction and up to three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, you won’t have those problems at The Townes at Stonewall Manor and Stone Ridge

The price is right. Whether you’re seeking your first home or you’re simply budget-minded, StyleCraft Homes will work to satisfy your bottom line. Both of our Gateway townhome communities are priced to sell, with Stone Ridge homes priced from the $220s and The Townes at Stonewall Manor starting in the $190s. We even have New Home Sales Professionals who can walk you through the buying process and help you understand your buying power.

StyleCraft Gateway townhomes are designed for residents to Live Up. Sure, there are other established and new construction townhome communities in Greater Richmond and beyond. But we would take our innovative floor plans, eye for detail, and overall quality against any of them. Hands down. You’re not going to find a spacious owner’s suite with walk-in closet, oversized kitchen islands and other unexpected features packaged together at these prices in just any townhome. Live Up is our promise to bring your home a step up from the ordinary. We want you to enjoy the lifestyle you worked hard to earn. A visit to our on-site design centers will open up a world of possibilities and demonstrate exactly what we’re talking about when we say, “Live Up!”

The The Townes at Stonewall Manor and Stone Ridge are filling up quickly. If you’re interested in learning more about making your first home your dream home, call (804) 523-HOME today.
