Meet the Alegado Family – Ten Trails’ 500^th Family 

Meet the Alegado family, new residents in Ten Trails and our 500^th family to move into the community! Gideon and Katrina Alegado and their two teenage children move to Ten Trails in June from nearby Maple Valley and are loving their new Oakridge Homes home and the lifestyle offered in the community.

Home Shopping Remotely During the Pandemic 

Like many families, it became obvious to the Alegados during pandemic stay-at-home orders that they needed more room for their family. With their kids now teenagers and Gideon and Katrina working from home, they quickly realized their 1,660 square-foot home in Maple Valley, while cozy, just was not well-suited for the family any longer. The Alegados started their search for a new home online during the pandemic and they first toured their current home virtually while vacationing at a friend’s home in Hawaii.

“We were looking at photos of the house literally from the beach and then we made an offer the next day, sight unseen,” said Katrina. “A few days later we were signing paperwork on our friend’s patio overlooking the ocean.”

 

More Space to Spread Out in a Growing Community

As they get settled in a big and beautiful 2,800-square-foot home, the Alegados joke that they sometimes cannot find one another.

  “I’m sure it will fill up, but right now it feels massive,” said Gideon.

  The family is eager to explore all the amenities Ten Trails offers, like the many parks and green spaces, sports courts, and community pea patches.

  “We’ve been out on the trails many times,” said Katrina who enjoys walking the family’s dog, Echo, on the miles of nature trails.

    The Alegados are also looking forward to meeting more of their neighbors at upcoming community events, like the Sunset Markets.    

“We are so excited and honored to be recognized in this way and looking forward to settling in,” said Gideon.  

Welcome to the neighborhood, Alegados! We are so happy you chose Ten Trails as your new hometown. www.TenTrails.com 360.469.4043

Ways to Use “Bonus” Spaces in Your Home 

Many of our builders offer spaces in their homes’ floorplans labeled “flex space,” “bonus room,” “loft,” or sometimes, “leisure room.” All these rooms are similar in that they can be used any way that suits your family best! Need more space for kids’ toys? Make it a playroom! Want an informal living room area? You can do that! Want more space for entertaining? You can create that as well. At Ten Trails, our builders have homes with space for the way you want to live. (insert photo home loft)

Create a Home Gym 

With many of us spending more time working out at home, a gym is a great addition to your new Ten Trails home! Get some cardio and weight equipment and be sure to utilize the community’s one-gig speed internet to stream live workout classes.

Create a Homework Area or Home School Space

Even if your kids have returned to in-person school, a home school or homework area is extremely useful to have in your new home! Set up a quiet workspace for kids that is free of distractions like TV and video games, and you may just find that homework time is much more productive.

Create the Ultimate Home Office 

Bonus rooms can become great home offices, especially now when many of us are working from home more than ever! All you need for a productive work space is a desk, comfortable chair, computer and use of Ten Trails’ one-gig speed internet by Wave.

Create a Home Theater

Does your family love sitting down to watch a movie together? Heighten the experience by creating an at-home theater! Choose a comfortable sectional sofa or go for the full theater experience with reclining movie theater seats. A big-screen television, light-blocking shades, and  surround-sound will complete the space.

Create a Craft or Hobby Room

Flex rooms make ideal hobby rooms! Instead of cluttering up your kitchen or office space with craft supplies, create a dedicated space for your favorite hobby.

Create a Kids’ Playroom

Kids toys can easily take over every room in a home. Having a dedicated playroom in your home will help contain the toys to one space in the home and give kids a place of their own to get creative at playtime. www.TenTrails.com 360.469.4043
