Fast Pace of Home Sales Shows Ten Trails has What Homebuyers Want Most

Since opening just over two years ago, Ten Trails, the master planned community in Black Diamond managed by Oakpointe Communities, has seen home sales increase at a brisk pace and is well-known in the Puget Sound area as a desirable place to live. There are many reasons why so many homebuyers choose Ten Trails. Here are just a few!

Many Home Builders to Choose From 

Currently, Ten Trails has eight different builder options to choose from with home products ranging from townhomes to single family detached homes and even some apartments for rent currently under construction and pre-leasing.

A Walkable Community

Walkability remains one of the top features homebuyers desire in a new community. Ten Trails has miles of paved sidewalks and walking trails in addition to our nature trails that weave through the community’s wooded natural areas.

A Strong Sense of Community

Homebuyers want to also feel a sense of connection and community with where they live. Ten Trails offers this through our many shared community amenities and community events that bring residents together. Even during the pandemic, we have found ways to connect with one another and are looking forward to coming together in person again when guidelines allow for it.

Proximity Close to Nature 

Home shoppers are also searching for communities with easy access and proximity to nature. The entire community of Ten Trails is nestled in rural Black Diamond, surrounded by forests and with open and natural spaces integrated throughout the community. It is also located just a short drive from some of the area’s finest outdoors destinations like Crystal Mountain Resort, countless hiking trails, campgrounds, and Mount Rainier National Park. 360.469.4043 www.TenTrails.com

2021 Home Design Trends to Try in Your New Ten Trails Home

While many of us are hoping for a much different looking 2021 than 2020, a few home design trends that emerged during the pandemic may continue to stick around. If you are moving into a new home this year or simply need a change in your current one, why not try one of these popular design trends?

An Abundance of Indoor Plants

Indoor plants have always been popular, but they became a huge rage during the pandemic. With many people unable to leave their homes during stay-home orders, and some with limited outdoor space, bringing the outside in through indoor greenery became extremely popular. For newbies to indoor plant care, check with a local nursery to see which plants will do best in your home. Some varieties that are hardy and thrive during winter’s low light in our northern climate include Parlor Palms, Snake Plants and certain varieties of ivy.

Edible Gardens

Edible gardens became a big trend in 2020 with many people reluctant to venture out of their homes as often to get fresh produce, and many farmers’ markets shut down due to the pandemic. Keep the trend going through 2021 with an indoor herb or lettuce garden to carry you through the winter months. You can also begin sprouting spring vegetable seeds indoors in February or March for planting outside once the risk of frost has passed for the season. At Ten Trails, our residents can rent out space for an edible garden in our community pea patches.

Home offices

The home office is not going anywhere in 2021. With many workers continuing to work from home at least part of the time, home office space is here to stay. At Ten Trails, many of our builders have home office space built into their home design so there is no need to convert your space if you are planning to continue to work from home in the new year.

Multi-purpose rooms

In 2020, we saw many of our home’s rooms transformed into multi-purpose areas. Guest rooms become home offices, Basements turned into gyms and loft areas became makeshift school rooms for virtual learning. We believe multi-purpose spaces will continue to be a trend in the coming year and beyond. Get creative and figure out what hidden potential a seldom-used room of your home may have! www.TenTrails.com 360.469.4043

Resolve to Find Yourself a New Home in 2021

A fresh start is needed by all of us probably more than any previous year! Why not find yourself a new place to call home in 2021?

More Builder Options Than Ever Before

There are currently six builders actively selling homes in the community, with more builders releasing homes for sale soon! Rudd joined the community in February 2020 and is rapidly selling their gorgeous and modern townhome units. Lennar has been selling homes in Ten Trails since the early months of the community’s opening and continues to sell homes in its Village Collection, with more exciting new releases coming soon. Four new builders joined the community in the second half of 2020. We are happy to have partnered with JK Monarch, Pulte Homes, Toll Brothers and Oakridge Homes to bring more single-family homes options to the community, including new rambler options!

Tips to Keep in Mind When Searching for Your New Home 

Home is more important than ever before. When considering a move, the goal is to get as close as possible to all the elements that you are searching for in your new space. Below are a few tips to consider when researching your move.

Buy vs. Rent 

When looking for your new home, consider whether you want to make the commitment to purchase a property or rent your new home. Both options have their advantages, and you can decide what is best for your family given your current circumstances. Ten Trails has options for both purchasing a home or townhome, or renting one of our upcoming apartments in The Village at Ten Trails.

Decide Your Priorities

Before you begin your search for a new home, sit down with your family members and make a list of priorities for your new space. Consider how your family lives and uses your current home and what elements may be lacking. If you work from home, perhaps you are looking for a home with space for an office or option for 1-gig ultra-fast internet speed. If you have a large family, maybe you want a home with enough bedrooms so each family member has their own space. Whatever your priorities, keep them in mind when looking at homes so that you do not get overwhelmed by options and lose sight of your original goals for moving.

Gather Information

Ten Trails has a wealth of resources to help you in your home search! Our team at our Welcome Center can answer many of your questions about the community and assist you with scheduling your model home tour. Our builders also have sales consultants dedicated to the community who can help you select the home, townhome or apartment that best fits your family’s needs.
