Annual Villages tour attracts over 300

The annual Spring Festival Tour of Homes, held recently at The Villages of LaFayette Park drew over 300 visitors to the award-winning multi-use community located in downtown Fayetteville.

While there, the participants in the tour were able to tour not only the inventory homes available in the community, but also the newly-opened swimming pool, pavilion and playground.

The event, which also featured food, special activities, and numerous door prizes, proved to be a marketing success, as two homes were placed under contract during the weekend, and agents are currently working on three more sales initiated during the festivities.

In other news from The Villages, each of the three builders of single family homes there is completing work on a new model home. These models, expected to open soon, will join the model home for the community’s townhomes and give prospective homeowners additional opportunities to preview the builder team’s homes.

The Villages of LaFayette Park community is an approximately 110-acre development three blocks west of the Old Courthouse Square in Fayetteville and bordered by State Hwy. 54 on the south and the Fayette County High School complex on the north.

The picturesque development, which has sidewalks and streetlights, features single family detached homes featuring Turn of the Century styles with porches and having prices beginning in the mid $200,000s. The builder team for these homes, which include Classic American Village and Cottage Homes, plus an area of Estate Homes to be built later, is composed of Ravin Homes, Ray Wright Homes, and Mike Harrell & Associates

The townhomes with prices beginning in the low $200,000s are being built by Chris Dixon & Associates.

The development plan calls for 203 homes in the community, including 151 Village and Cottage homes, 22 Estate homes, and 30 townhomes.

The residential sales and marketing team in The Villages of LaFayette Park is made up of Ann W. Roghelia and Jane Foster of Lee-Dixon Realty representing Mike Harrell & Associates and Chris Dixon & Associates, DeSales deGolian of Ravin Homes, and Ralph McCurdy and Sue Barnwell of Re/Max Results representing Ray Wright Homes. The sales center phone number is 770-461-7030.

The Villages of LaFayette Park, which will also have retail, office and commercial facilities, including a hotel currently under construction, is home to The Villages Amphitheater, a multi-use venue representing all aspects of the cultural arts and educational community, which is owned by the Downtown Development Authority and managed by Main Street Tourism Association.
