Family business ensures friendly service, outstanding values starting at less than $200,000, West Point Gardens, Elgin

Starting at $144,990

With business consolidations in the news these days, consumers look for the hands-on caring service provided by the traditional family business.

Home buyers who prefer dealing with the hands-on owner of the business will find that West Point Builders is the right builder for them. West Point Builders is currently developing West Point Gardens, a master-planned community featuring 22 choices in ranch and two-story homes, including the popular Park Series that offers detached townhomes priced below $200,000. Several model homes are open for viewing, and they represent some of the best values in suburban Chicagoland.

“In addition to my personal involvement in sales and customer service, West Point Gardens offers a style and price for virtually every buyer,” said Pat Curran, president of the company. “True to our roots as a family-owned custom builder established in 1957, we believe that buying a home is a relationship built on trust and active response to our buyers’ needs will result in a great experience for them.”

Buyers may choose from Traditional Community Design homes with their large front porches, garages in the rear and private gardens, while other home styles feature a more traditional streetscape with garages in the front and large, open back yards. The Park Series detached townhomes start at just $144,990 and single-family homes are priced from $204,990.

West Point Gardens has won 10 industry awards for architectural excellence, more than any other new home community in suburban Chicago, and has attracted international attention for its innovations including the hybrid detached Park Series townhome designs. These homes are priced so that monthly mortgage payments are less than many area rents.

The community centers on 13-acre Meier Park, a hub for sports and recreation. A gazebo and covered pavilion are set amid lawns and greenery. Playground equipment, baseball and soccer fields, tennis courts, basketball courts and bicycle paths connect with other smaller parks, the Fox Valley bike path and a 20-acre neighborhood shopping center. Highly rated District #301 schools serve the community.
The Park Series floor plans range from two bedrooms and 1 ½ baths to three bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths, full basements, nine-foot first-floor ceilings, flexible second floors, covered front porches, and two-car garages attached in the rear. The Clark model home is open for viewing. Finished basements and many other options are available.

The other 18 single-family floor plans in three series are priced from $204,990 to $298,990. They range in size from 1,950 to 3,407 square feet with three to five bedrooms, two to 2 ½ baths, partial or optional full basements and two-car attached garages. One two-story plan has a first-floor master bedroom, and a ranch plan also is featured.

West Point Builders has a guaranteed rental program to assist buyers with homes to sell. Through the program, homebuyers can obtain a guaranteed rental for the home they are leaving behind for a period of time up to six years. A respected management company will handle the rental, and they can then sell the home in a more favorable market.
