Forest Trail Homes are Selling Fast in Austin’s Tarrytown Neighborhood

January 8, 2012

For anyone looking for new construction near the downtown Austin area, there is a great development right off West Enfield that is worth checking out: Forest Trail. It is a small community nestled in the heart of Tarrytown, which I think is one of the most gorgeous areas in all of Austin.

I moved to Tarrrytown not long ago and absolutely love the area. What’s NOT to love? You’re surrounded by absolutely gorgeous homes, beautifully landscaped yards, rolling hills with streets lined with huge, shade trees…and the location rocks! I can hop on my bike and be on the Ladybird hike and bike trail in about 5 minutes! I’ve been completely enjoying living close to all that downtown has to offer yet being able to live in a cozy neighborhood where I can take a nice quiet walk with my dogs.

Last week, while on one of the above mentioned walks, I noticed they had begun construction on Forest Trail homes, so I decided to check with them to see when the homes will be available. The good news is there will be 11 detached, single family homes with private, fenced yards. The community will consist of 3 and 4 bedroom homes, which are energy efficient with 4-5 star rating under the Austin Energy Green Building Program. The homes, modern in design, are stucco with stone and cedar accents. The bad news is, they don’t have many left!

If your looking for new construction, close to downtown for under $500,000, this is an excellent option. If you would like more information about this exclusive and popular new community, give me a call at 512-944-2636 today before it’s too late.
