The Triangle’s Largest Local Homebuilder
Fallon Park, which features ForeverHome's Cottages at Fallon Park and Villas at Fallon Park has been named an inside the beltline hot spot by Builder and Broker Journal.
Since January, families have purchased or reserved 12 single family homes, seven villas, and three cottages at The Oaks at Fallon Park... and it's only August!
Amidst towering hardwoods in the heart of Raleigh's historic Five Points district, Fallon Park is celebrated as one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the Triangle. This diverse mix of character-filled "inside the beltline" homes border winding streets that connect Wake Forest Road to Glenwood Avenue. Complementing these fine homes are parks, boutiques, restaurants, retail shops, and neighborhood schools, which together create a community of timeless charm and distinctive appeal for residents.
One new community in the Fallon Park neighborhood, The Oaks at Fallon Park, offers solid evidence of the neighborhood's allure. Since January, families have purchased or reserved 12 single family homes, seven villas, and three cottages... and it's only August! All this activity has occurred at a time in which home sales have been exceedingly slow not only in the Triangle region but nationwide.
"We're very pleased with the success of the Villas at Fallon Park," says Mark Ward, ForeverHome vice president of sales. (ForeverHome is the builder of Fallon Park's luxury Villas.) "This area is the essence of midtown living at its finest. North Hills, Glenwood South, and Cameron Village are moments away. After just getting started here last summer, our last eight villas are currently under construction, with only two remaining for sale. The Villas at Fallon Park adjoin the existing Oaks at Fallon Park, a beautiful neighborhood of new upscale single-family homes which began in 2007. We think a key factor in our success is the opportunity the Villas are providing to live in this amazing part of Raleigh in wonderful homes from the $360s as opposed to the higher pricing traditionally seen in this area. We're delighted that our homes have been so well received."
Located on Lowden Street adjacent to Joyner Elementary School, the Villas at Fallon Park are 3 - 4 bedroom, 2 - 3 bath townhomes ranging from 2,079 to 2,400 square feet. Their welcoming stone, brick, shake, and fiber cement exteriors featuring Craftsman-style elements are maintenance-free, as are front yards and common areas. Interiors are flowing and spacious, with gleaming first floor hardwoods, inviting kitchens with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, and wrought iron stair pickets, highlighting only a few of many exceptional details. Each home includes a private patio for outdoor fun and relaxation and a two-car garage, accessible via a private rear alley.
ForeverHome is also the builder for the Cottages at Fallon Park, single family homes just beyond the Villas on Yancey Street. With fiber cement siding and shake exteriors, these 2,387 to 2,991 square foot homes offer Craftsman-styling that invites front porch living.
Located on Lowden Street adjacent to Joyner Elementary School, the Villas at Fallon Park are 3 to 4 bedroom, 2 to 3 bath townhomes ranging from 2,079 to 2,400 square feet."The Cottages at Fallon Park are priced from the $470s," says Mark. "These homes are packed with outstanding details just like the Villas... They offer another opportunity for living in Fallon Park at a great value."
Priced from the $600s, the homes in The Oaks at Fallon Park feature historically-inspired custom designs of 2,600 to 4,000 square feet by award-winning builders Dixon/Kirby & Company, Legacy Custom Homes, Poythress Construction Company, and McNeill Burbank. Distinct architecture, unique floor plans, gourmet kitchens, elegant owner retreats, and private courtyards are but a few of the numerous features found in these Energy Star® qualified homes. Like the Villas and the Cottages, garages are alley-fed. Landscaping for the neighborhood and individual homesites is fully maintained, so homeowners of both cottages and homes can spend more of their valuable time enjoying the neighborhood's amenities: pocket parks, a playground, clubhouse, and pool for those hot summer days. Of the 88 total homes The Oaks at Fallon Park will include upon completion, only 28 opportunities remain. Interest in The Oaks has been very strong, according to Gordon Grubb, president of Grubb Ventures and developer of The Oaks at Fallon Park.
"We're very pleased with our home sales to date in 2011, having placed 12 homes under contract this year at The Oaks," says Gordon. "My vision with The Oaks was to create a traditional neighborhood that would fit well within the existing Fallon Park neighborhood. ForeverHome has done this as well with their homes in the Villas and the Cottages... They've brought a home style complementary to what we offer in The Oaks, at a different price point. We're delighted with the success of the entire community."
Homeowners are delighted as well. "My wife and I relocated to Raleigh from Baltimore last year," says Villas at Fallon Park homeowner Jakob (last name withheld by request). "We initially toured homes from the 1950s and 60s inside the beltline, thinking that was what we wanted. When our Realtor® showed us The Oaks at Fallon Park community, we fell in love with the neighborhood and with the ForeverHome model home. We quickly knew it was where we wanted to live, and that 'new' was the way to go. Being able to customize our home with our own selections had a lot to do with our decision, as well as Mary Ann, the helpful onsite sales agent, and Larry, the ForeverHome builder, who were wonderful to work with... before, during, and after our move-in. Living here has been absolutely amazing. We love our home and our location. Although we're right in the heart of everything, we feel like we're in the suburbs with the numerous trees throughout the neighborhood, the elementary school across the street, and our easy access to parks and green areas. We can see why Raleigh is one of the top places in the country to raise a family, and we feel sure The Oaks at Fallon Park neighborhood is a contributor to that accolade."
Raleigh native Jill Rekuc, Broker/Owner of Olde Raleigh Real Estate, LLC, also shares positive comments. "I've spent extensive time in all three Fallon Park developments - The Villas, the Cottages, and the Homes at The Oaks, and I've sold homes there," says Jill. "It's one of the hottest, most desirable, best selling communities inside the beltline. It's just so welcoming, so vibrant, so full of life... Each time I'm there I see walkers with dogs or baby strollers meandering throughout the community, or I see families and children outside, enjoying time with friends."
"The tri-level tier of housing is very appealing, allowing buyers an array of price points to find homes they can afford," Jill continues. "Single-family home buyers have access to some of Raleigh's most reputable high-end custom builders in The Oaks, and Villas' and Cottages' buyers receive quality construction from respected builder ForeverHome. 'Cookie cutter' homes just don't exist in Fallon Park... Buyers get a lot for their money. Being a Raleigh native, I'm thrilled to see this Fallon Park neighborhood evolve as it has. It's just a wonderful place!"
