2012 Parade of Homes Features Six Briar Chapel Green Homes

Now in its 29th year, the 2012 Parade of Homes in Durham, Orange & Chatham Counties will be held over the next three weekends: September 29-30, October 5-7 and October 12-14, 2012 from Noon-5pm each day. This is a free, self-guided tour showcases the latest designs and technology trends.

This year, Briar Chapel has six entries in the Parade:

• The "Yates" - 9 Pokeberry Bend Dr. (Saussy Burbank)
• The "Carsen" - 39 Pokeberry Bend Dr. (Saussy Burbank)
• The "Teague" - 68 Owen Towne Rd. (Saussy Burbank)
• The "Milliron" - 139 N. Serenity Hill Cir. (David Weekley Homes)
• The "Millhaven" - 371 Tobacco Farm Rd. (Homes by Dickerson)
• The "Bristol" - 371 Dark Forest Dr. (Homes by Dickerson)

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 Jen Winkler at 919-593-3662. She 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.
