Double B offers affordable maintenance-free living

MARYVILLE, Mo. — A vision 15 years in the making has not only come to fruition for Double B Development, but its maintenance-free living environment named Tranquility Court is thriving on the south end of Maryville, offering views of country living without ever leaving the city limits.

Local developers Bill and Bonnie Ingels — the “B’s” in Double B — currently have 12 of the 26 lots in Tranquility Court completed and sold, with the remaining lots fully ready to be built.

“We’re off and running and there is a lot of interest,” Bill said. “We’re part of the silver tsunami. It’s an era we’re going through and this project and product fits with that demographic.”

There have been other projects in the area that have ventured into the maintenancefree home arena, but Double B has a successful formula that makes it the area’s top choice.

“What we’ve tried to do is keep it very simple,” Bill said. “The homeowner owns the real estate just like they would if they owned a house anywhere else in Maryville.

The difference is that we have the homeowners association that takes care of the outside maintenance in regards to lawn care (fertilization and mowing) and even the water bill for the sprinkler system.

The homeowner’s association also takes care of the snow removal and trash pickup.

“If you’re someone that travels during the winter like us you can just lock the door and leave because someone is going to

plow your drive and scoop your sidewalk, there is probably even a neighbor who will check on your house from time to time.”

The homes in Tranquility Court have multiple features to make living much easier and accessible. From its zero entry into the structure from the garage and front door to wider doors, minimal hallways and an open concept, these homes have all the convenience one needs.

Each home can be custom designed and multiple interior features can be added including a basement; however, to maintain a consistent character throughout the community, all exterior appearances such as stone, stucco, siding, window types and roof pitches are kept the same.

“We’re very flexible as to floor plans and other finishes,” Bill said. “The size can be whatever the buyer wants it to be with a minimum of 1,500 square feet.”

Besides beautiful homes, Double B Development has commercial property opportunities available with Main Street frontage as well as other residential properties.

Double B recently finished a new home in the Harmony Hill subdivision in partnership with the Maryville R-II School District, specifically with the Northwest Technical School Building Trades program.
