As we drive in and out of our neighborhood on 183rd, the new Devon Hill development seems to be rising dramatically before our eyes. Many new homes are being framed and topped by roofs seemingly daily. A few of us recently visited the new development to get a better feel for the progress and what it means to Foxwood Meadows.

The Devon Hill community has plans for 45 new single-family homes on the 6.37 acre site. (see the attached community map) In fact, the foundations for all the homes are already laid. The lot sizes are rather small, ranging from 4000 to up 6000 square feet with most in the 4000 to 5000 ft range.

The homes are being built by two builders, Sundquist Homes and Pacific Ridge Homes (a division of D.R. Horton homes). The home sizes range from 2500 to 3200 square feet. Given the small lot sizes, the square footage has nowhere to go but up – in the air. Some of these homes are going to be three stories tall. (see the attached home description flier).

The overall home construction timeline? Sales Center Manager Maggie Rossetti indicated about a year. So we will likely be listening to construction noises through the summer at a minimum.

The model home is completed and you can view it. The new homes will all have gas appliances. The modern open kitchen, dining and living rooms on the first floor are designed for general family living and entertaining. This area dominates when you enter the home. Upstairs offers four bedrooms and two baths including a master with a walk-in closet and dual sink bath, plus the laundry room and the furnace along with a small open area. The back yard living space is quite limited. The garage is currently serving as the sales office.

This development will have a Homeowners Association. Your Foxwood Meadows HOA board plans to work with this new HOA on joint overall neighborhood issues and concerns once they are created.

Your HOA board plans to monitor the progress of this new development and try to keep you informed on its status.  If you learn of any developments in this project, please share with your Foxwood Meadows board.
