A new subdivision targeting 55-plus homebuyers is under construction in Durham.
Epcon Communities recently broke ground on The Courtyards on Farrington at 5113 Farrington Rd. in Durham County. It’s on the Chapel Hill-Durham border, about a 20-minute drive southwest from downtown.
The Ohio-based builder, founded in 1986, specializes in developing “low-maintenance,” amenity-rich neighborhoods (landscaping services included). The product is “popular with 55-plus buyers,” it says on its website .
Epcon is now selling 64 ranch-style homes with two-, three-, and four-bedroom plans, ranging from 1,500 to 3,000 square feet. Features include first-floor owner suites, open floor plans and private courtyards alongside other amenities like a clubhouse, pool, walking trails and fitness center.
Prices start at the mid $500,000s and go up to the mid $800,000s.
“The Triangle is a fast-growing market,” said Tom Sewitsky, regional president for Epcon Communities in Raleigh, in a release. “The Courtyards on Farrington offers great amenities and floor plans in an ideal location.”
