These are often one-half to one-acre lot parcels that offer plenty of space between homes. They include yards that are big enough to enjoy outdoor activities and can be perfect for families with small children who need a little extra space. However, these types of homes are increasingly appealing for professionals who can work remotely or retirees who want to move away from bigger cities as well, Fraser says. “Since the pandemic, many people wanted to get away and spend more time at home, whether they work from home or not,” he adds. Edgemont Park Estates is one of the primary housing developments with these features and characteristics. Some homebuyers are looking for environmental features to build into their custom homes, but there’s a price to it. Fraser Homes is always conscious of offering these options, from net zero carbon construction to solar panels. The fact that the firm is a true custom builder means any of those options are on the table, depending on supply chain availability.
