New Homes

Below are most that I am aware of, with approximate unit counts, though you can find it in spreadsheet form, with some links, here.
369 Apartments
  • Preston Lake (168)
  • Locust Grove (48)
  • Congers Creek (153)
647 Townhouses & Duplexes
  • Cobblers Valley (225 - not yet started)
  • Bridgewater Fields (160)
  • Congers Creek (133)
  • Crescent Ridge (130)
  • Shady Creek (80)
  • Preston Lake (64)
  • Locust Grove (38)
287 Single Family Detached Homes or Home Sites
  • Cobblers Valley (169)
  • Shady Creek (160)
  • The Ponds of Island Ford (78)
  • The Crossing (49)
This is not to mention the 4,314 homes that are being planned or proposed...
  • 2,430 apartments
  • 192 condos
  • 898 townhomes
  • 526 duplexes
  • 268 single family detached homes

[2]  Is too much housing being built or planned beyond what our growing population needs?

[3]  Is the right type, size, and price of housing being built?
