“The popularity and practicality of right-sized homes and cottage-style developments are key factors for the success of The Cottages at River Hill,” said Chip Hall, Senior Vice President of Cottage Advisors. “We are already seeing tremendous interest from a variety of buyers in search of a true community versus a standard subdivision. The Cottages at River Hill meets this demand and our partnership with NickersonRE is already paying off with two homes sold in our first week of working together.”
With 18 of its 30 homes already sold in the first two phases of development, and two new homes sold in the last week, The Cottages at River Hill has just 12 lots remaining for reservation. As the community moves into its third, and final, phase of construction, Cottage Advisors and NickersonRE expect interest in the property to remain high.
