Mills Creek Condominiums

There is a large call for affordable housing in Asheville. Affordable meaning, priced under the $200,000.00 mark; but still upscale with an eat-in kitchen, fireplace, plenty of space, and yes, at least a one-car garage. Fortunately, Stafford Realty is answering the call for affordable housing in an upscale market with the Mills Creek Condominiums in South Asheville. Starting at only $156900.00, all homes have two (2) stories, three (3) bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths, townhome construction with no neighbors above ro below, and an attached one-car garage. If the low price wasn't enough, there are $3000 towards closing costs via preferred lenders. These homes are being exclusively marketed by Stafford Realty, and will feature 75 homes upon completion of the entire development. "In addition to being the only inventory in South Asheville with an attached one-car garage in this price range," say Michael Duncan, a Realtor with Stafford Realty, "Mills Creek Condominiums also have gas furnaces, gas water heaters, gas log fireplaces and 1,324 square feet of living space. These condos are beautifully done and feel more like a townhome than a condo." The South Asheville location of Mills Creek is central and ideal; the homes are off of Mills Gap Road just off Sweeten Creek Road and are close to plentyful shopping, the Asheville Regional Airport, and a mere ten minutes from downtown Asheville. You can't find a better offer with a comparable location, quality and price. What if you want your new home to have special flooring or even a different refrigerator, washer or dryer, and what about those Home Owner Association fees? Unbelieveably, the HOA fees are only $65.00 per month. The homes come with a 25-year Mold Warranty and a one year warranty for craftsmanship and workmanship on the structure. Mortgage rates are at an all time low and currently, for most owners, the mortgage payment is much lower than what they would be paying for rent for a comparable apartment.

The Village at Bradley Branch

Restaurants and retail are booming along Airport Road, and the developers of the nearby Bradley Branch community are hoping homeowners will want to be close to the action.
The first residents moved into this Arden community off Sunny Meadows Boulevard last year. Now the focus is on the construction of town houses.
“Originally, the entire development was going to be condos, but now we’re doing more town homes because that is what Stafford Realty is known for,” said Realtor Michael Duncan. “We have a premium location, being located near all the growth at the airport, and people really respond to being close to all that’s going on while still having their privacy when they come back home.”
Plans for the maintenance-free town houses call for one- and two-story layouts complete with a single or double garage, laundry room and fireplace. But Duncan says a main selling point is the price.
“With the two-story town homes, there is nowhere else in Arden that gives you as much for the money,” he said of the properties, which start at $149,000. “Most people in that range want a garage as well as the advantage of not having neighbors above or below like they would in an apartment.”
While the development does not offer a clubhouse or a pool, those are not concerns for Louis and Linda LaMana, who live a few doors down from the model home. “The neighborhood is outstanding,” Louis LaMana said. “The people are friendly, and the convenience to stores, shopping, restaurants, major highways and the airport is icing on the cake. We are looking forward to many years here.”
