According to a Harvard University study in 2006, 1 in 5 buyers of
real estate are women. Additionally, single women have made up more than 1/3 of the real estate growth since 1994. There are twice as many unmarried women buying homes than single men leading to a new trend for residential builders where more features are built to cater to women. The Boston Condo Domain Blog lists a few features that female buyers are looking for:
· Safe, urban neighborhoods
· Close proximity to public transportation
· Walking distance to stores and restaurants
· New kitchens with islands for entertainment
· Newly finished hardwood flooring
· Light-colored walls
· Bathrooms with soaking tubs as well as showers
· Ample drawer and counter space
· Walk-in closets
· Gas fireplaces
· Well-lit parking
· Condos with front door guard
· Home security systems
The Lockerbie Townhomes in Centennial have always appealed
to many different homeowners, simply because of the unique home designs and location. Recentely, we have seen an increase in female homeowners in our townhomes, both single and with young children, attracted by the design and the true neighborhood lifestyle. The 2-story townhomes provides great space with 9’ ceilings and open layouts. With features and finishes such as granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, garden tubs, fireplaces, organized walk-in closets and more, the townhome features are above and beyond that of many Indianapolis Townhomes in a similar price range. The location in Westfield close to the Monon and Clay Terrace dining and shopping is ideal for those looking to enjoy the maintenance-free lifestyle. And the neighborhood amenities in Centennial – miles of walking trails, bark park, community garden, swimming pools, tennis and volleyball courts, KinderCare and more – have something for everyone.
