TOWNHOMES

3. Additional opportunities to customize or upgrade will be available during your selection process with the builder.

​

8. If I don't choose the elevator upgrade, will I be able to install one at a later time if needed?

Absolutely. Every townhome will be built with an elevator shaft and whether or not you choose to use it is up to you. Down the road, this will make it easier to install an elevator if you decide you would like one.

​

9. What is the process for construction upgrades (not including the elevator and/or fourth bedroom upgrade options)? 

As a new buyer, you will update your personal buyer contact sheet and send it to the builders, who will then update it in their records. The builders will then send you an invite to the program, Builder Trend, where they manage all change orders and upgrades. The builders will email you a selection sheet with anything you would like to upgrade – you will request approval through Builder Trend. The builders will send a mass email to all townhome owners when they need you to make decisions on certain selections. As the construction process moves along, the builders will send out emails to give you a heads up on what the next selections will be. 

​

10. Are any townhomes in a flood zone?

Yes, lots 39-53. These lots will require flood insurance. It is estimated that the premium per unit will be approximately $1,500 annually, which will be the responsibility of the individual townhome owner.

​

INSURANCE

At the time of closing, buyers will pay for the insurance for their townhome through the end of October 2023.  The amount they'll pay will be based on $3,000/townhome for the year and will depend on their closing date, as it will be prorated.  The first units closing will pay the full $3,000/townhome premium and those that close later will owe a lesser amount based on how many months of coverage they're receiving from their closing date to the renewal on

November 1, 2023.  

 

Every townhome will need an HO-6 policy for contents & upgrades and Lots 39-53, which are in a flood zone, will also need a separate flood policy.  Proof of these policies will be needed at closing.  It's not required to use Chalk & Gibbs, who is providing the master policy coverage, but that will likely be the easiest route.  Chelsea Miller with Chalk & Gibbs can be reached at chelsea@chalkandgibbs.com or at 252.725.0828.  

 

Instead of collecting towards the following year's premium on a monthly basis, owners will receive an invoice for the full premium for 2023/2024 coverage 30 days prior to the renewal on November 1, 2023.  Those lots in flood zones (39-53) will maintain their flood insurance separately each year. 

 

 

DUES

Regular dues for each townhome are $150/month plus $91/month for the master association dues. We originally projected collection towards the following year's insurance premium on a monthly basis, but have modified to simply invoice owners for the full amount 30 days before the premium is due. For those who will also be purchasing boat slips, slip dues will be $170/month for the marina association plus $91/month for the master association dues. Please see the Townhome and Marina Owners Association Disclosures on the Documents Page for full details.
