As mentioned, each sub development has its own character, only a few of the town homes offer garages, so these do carry a premium and are mainly one car, with The Ponds and Painters Lane being those which offer two car parking other than the single family homes in Green Hills.
Style of each sub development is varied which adds to the desire for many homeowners. There are homes which would look right at home on Cape Cod and those which look more ready for an Urban development. Chesterbrook caters to owners of all sorts, those who want an apartment with 1 bedroom, those who want a 3 bedroom town home, those who want a carriage home with a garage and those looking for a single family home.
