Now in its 28th year, the 2011 Parade of Homes showcases 42 new homes in our area and provides the chance for visitors to see the latest designs and technology trends. This free, self-guided tour is on October 1-2, 7-9, 14-16 from Noon to 5pm.
This year, Briar Chapel has six entries in the Parade:
1222 Great Ridge Parkway (David Weekley): 2604 sqft / $306,500
1725 Briar Chapel Parkway (McNeill-Barbank): 2407 sqft / $314,010
314 Tobacco Farm Road (McNeill-Burbank): 2199 sqft / $TBD
371 Tobacco Farm Road (Homes by Dickerson): 2004 sqft / $350,000
347 Dark Forest Drive (Homes by Dickerson): 2593 sqft / $399,900
75 Bennett Mountain Trace (Morningstar): 2994 sqft / $529,000 - Details
This year's event also enables builders to enjoy some friendly competition, as each home on the Parade is judged by a panel of industry representatives from other markets in our region. These judges examine the design, quality, and creativity that each entry demonstrates, resulting in a numerical grade for each house. Awards are given to homes that achieve the highest scores in each price category.
If you would like a guided tour of these homes, please contact Peter Winkler. I will be more than happy to point out the various green features that are available in these homes, as well as show you the amenities that residents enjoy throughout Briar Chapel.
