All of your firsts in this property will also be the home’s firsts. That initial family gathering, the first day of a new school year or first holiday celebration will all be moments you will never forget. Today’s new construction features not only the latest and greatest in construction technology, but also many “green” and eco friendly elements as well. The following properties have all been completed after 2016 and will still have that new home smell.
