Update on Goose Creek Bend by Brookfield Homes
January 15th, 2010 categories: New Construction
We previously wrote about a new Brookfield Homes community in Loudoun County, Goose Creek Bend.
Occasionally, I receive updates from the folks at Brookfield Homes, and when I do I like to pass them on to our readers.
If you’d like further info on this community, just let me know. By the way, if you are considering a new construction home there are lot of reasons to make sure you have a real estate agent to represent your best interests through a Buyer’s Broker Agreement. It is easy to visit a new homes project and get caught up in the excitement and allure of those beautifully appointed model homes. The new homes sales reps may be – and usually are – great people. But of necessity they are most concerned to represent the home builder. It is critical that you have someone solidly in your corner, and that is where an experienced and seasoned agent and a Buyer’s Broker agreement is in your best interests.
You can also visit the Brookfield Homes website, and check out Goose Creek Village as well.

New Homes in Leesburg Area: Goose Creek Bend
September 6th, 2009 categories: New Construction
If you have an interest in new home construction in the Leesburg, Virginia area, I wanted to share information about a Brookfield Homes project that appears to be in a fairly early stage, yet is “open for business.”
The Goose Creek Bend community is being described as “an intimate enclave of single family homes situated on 1-acre, wooded homesites.”
These new homes, priced from the 600’s, will be located near the intersection of Sycolin Road and Belmont Ridge Road.
These are 4 and up bedroom homes with lots of room for customization to accommodate home buyer preferences.
I will keep you posted as house images and other information become available. In the meantime, let me know if want more information, or help getting more specifics from the good folks at Brookfield Homes.

THE GREENS AT SOUTH RIDING STATION
March 23rd, 2009 categories: New Construction
If your home search includes town homes in the Chantilly area, you may want to be aware of The Greens at South Riding Station.
It is a Toll Brothers community in the South Riding area. I visited a few weeks ago and wanted to do a short post on it.
On my visit, I looked at attractive 3 bedroom, 3 and 1/2 bath townhouse style units, with rear garage and deck. Delivery looks to be around late Summer and early Fall of 09.
Prices points were in the $325,000 range when I visited, with some nice standard features, but in the current environment prices are not static.
More details on the Toll website, and of course, give me a call if you would like a sense of the property values in the area before you visit this community, or if you have any other questions about other new town house developments in the area that you may want to consider for comparative purposes.

To my eye, these Stanley Martin Homes at Green Mill Preserve have a bit more exterior style than what you typically find. They have taken the traditional design and infused enough character to make these homes more stylish. Also to note is the “preserve” concept with ample acreage to give the community a less cluttered feel than you may find elsewhere.
Speaking of less cluttered, the more open interiors that have been noticeable in new construction is something else Stanley Martin is highlighting, along with a list of upgrades and other amenities.
Here are a few more links and resources that you may find helpful, along with several images from this attractive community. As always, we are able to get you whatever other information you need on this community, and we encourage our readers to always have Buyer Broker representation in the purchase of any home.
