Mike Sparks Galveston Island Real Estate (The House Company Galveston Texas)
One of the unique features of
Georgetown Texas is the number of deed restricted neighborhoods
intended for what is termed the Active Adult Buyer.
Typically these neighborhoods are restricted to residents 55 years
and older, with no children living at home. Other deed
restrictions govern the appearance of the properties and the uses
allowed leading to higher property values and a cohesive and quiet
neighborhood. One of the first local Georgetown builders to
embrace this trend was Parker Builders who developed Village of River Bend I and
II. The Village I section is completely
self contained and has no thru streets so traffic is
limited. Both section I and II are located just off
Williams Drive and Booty's Rd, and are withiin walking distance
to shopping centers and banks. The homes are constructed of 100
white limestone exterior, 30 yr dimensional shingles, and the homes
in section I are on zero lot line lots and feature natural
landscaping and low water use lawns. Homes are typically 2
and 3 bedroom with 1200 to 1600 sq ft in section
I. The subdivisions were built between
1993 and 1998 and all the homes feature high ceilings and energy
efficiency. In sectionI, deed
restrictions limit fencing to wrought iron so there is a sense
of space between the yards. The homes in section II are on
larger lots that are not zero lot line, and the homes are typically
a bit larger ranging up to 2400 sq ft. They also feature 100%
limestone exteriors for low maintenance. Privacy fencing is
allowed. The subdivision has a mandatory homeowners association but the dues are very low since the amenities are limited to the entrance signs and a small park space. No pools, or golf courses to maintain and no social activites or community clubhouse. The neighborhood is geared to offer high quality homes on smaller easy to maintain lots all within a setting appealing to empty nesters. Prices typically range from a low of 120k upwards to 260k for the larger homes. For more information about this subdivision and the other age restricted subdivisions contact me and I'll be happy to fill you in on Georgetown's Active Adult neighborhoods.
