In the Marquee neighborhood, five homes have either sold or are under contract. This includes the former model home for the TownPark Custom Builder Group, which is the highest priced home sold in the community thus far. Four of the upscale ranch homes in the Interlude neighborhood have also been placed under contract. Walden Park, situated on West Stubbs Road between Butner Road and Cascade Palmetto Highway, is a mixed-use development which developer Stephen H. Macauley describes as environmentally-friendly, pedestrian-friendly and children-friendly. The homes in the community range in price from the $170,000s to the $600,000s.
