Van Metre Homes Announces New Townhome Community in Alexandria
In an exciting development for future homeowners, Van Metre Homes recently announced plans to break ground on 38 luxury townhomes at a prime location in Alexandria, known as Banner Heights. This project is set to launch this fall, and it promises to offer residents a unique blend of urban living and outdoor space, a combination that’s increasingly rare in the bustling Northern Virginia area.
Unique Features and Design
The Banner Heights townhomes are designed with the modern homeowner in mind. Each unit will feature a premium outdoor living experience, including a private covered roof terrace and a dedicated backyard that offers privacy and tranquility—moving away from the typical trend of sacrificing outdoor spaces for location. The homes will be available starting from the $1.25 million mark and are designed with versatility in mind, accommodating up to five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms spread over 3,086 square feet and four levels.
Homebuyers will have the opportunity to personalize their townhomes with 20 distinct options before move-in. Potential choices include various interior finishes, additional bedrooms, the installation of an in-home elevator, and amenities like a covered terrace, wet bars, dry bars, and electric fireplaces.
Kevin Rabil, the President of Homes and Manufacturing at Van Metre Companies, emphasized the exclusivity of this project, stating, “Banner Heights is unlike anything Van Metre Homes has built before. It's truly a luxury townhome community that mirrors the sophisticated standards of Alexandria's discerning buyers.”
A Convenient Location
Beyond the luxurious features of the homes themselves, the Banner Heights community occupies a highly sought-after location. Situated in a well-established area, it is just across from the Kingstowne Towne Center. The community is also surrounded by accessible trails that lead to Kingstowne Lake and Huntley Meadows Park, enhancing the overall lifestyle with nature-oriented living. Residents will enjoy additional amenities that include access to community parks, playgrounds, landscaped courtyards, and recreational options such as a putting green and fitness centers, along with access to pools, tennis, and pickleball courts managed by the Kingstowne Residential Owners Corporation.
Kevin Campbell, President of Land at Van Metre Companies, expressed enthusiasm about the location, calling it a rare find. He remarked, “Banner Heights was at the top of our list the moment the site became available. This established and walkable location so close to Kingstowne is a true gem. It feels like coming home since Van Metre's history began over 70 years ago not far from here.”
Digital Engagement for Homebuyers
In line with modern trends, Van Metre Homes is adopting a digital-first approach for the sales experience at Banner Heights. Interested buyers can register for an Early Access waitlist, which offers them online methods to select and reserve their homesite. The process also allows them to personalize their design choices and enter into contracts before the official launch of the community.
This system not only streamlines the home-buying process but also caters to the tech-savvy generation of homebuyers looking for convenience. By signing up for Early Access, potential homeowners will be the first to know about homesite details, pricing, and availability as final decisions are made leading into the fall.
For those interested, further details can be found on the official website, VanMetreHomes.com/BH, where buyers can take advantage of Early Access registration and stay updated on this luxurious new community.
In conclusion, Banner Heights by Van Metre Homes is set to be a significant addition to Alexandria's housing landscape, merging upscale living, personalized design, and a vibrant community in one of Northern Virginia's most appealing locations. With the launch just around the corner, it’s an excellent opportunity for those seeking luxury with the convenience of urban living.
