Meritus Homes now is taking reservations for brand-new, single-family homes at The Enclave At Mill Creek. The low-maintenance community is located at the intersection of Army Trail Road and Mill Street in Addison. A sales center is open across from the property at 601 Army Trail Boulevard, Suite C. The newest community from Meritus Homes, The Enclave At Mills Creek features detached, maintenance-free ranches with 1,379 to 2,154 square feet of living space, two or three bedrooms, and two full baths. Five floor plans are available, with special preconstruction pricing starting from the mid $300,000s. “Purchasing a home now at The Enclave Of Mill Creek has countless advantages,” said Jay Dulla, executive vice president of Meritus Homes. “First, early buyers can choose from the widest selection of homesites, including some that overlook Westwood Creek or one of the neighborhood’s three ponds,” he explained. “In addition, prices typically are at their lowest during the first phase of construction and property values rise as the community builds out. That affords homeowners the opportunity to build equity quickly.” He added that there is very little new construction within Addison, which makes The Enclave At Mill Creek a sought-after destination. The Enclave At Mill Creek will have abundant green space with more than one-third of the ranchstyle homes backing to natural areas. The homeowners association will perform all yard maintenance and exteriors will be constructed of low maintenance materials for easy upkeep.
