The moderately-priced homes ($185,000 to $275,000, including building lot) will share at least 12 landscaped common areas, in addition to two lakes, at the location on the south side of Bratton Road.

Creekmore Landscaping will be responsible for an extensive number of trees and other plantings throughout the development.

Sidewalks and all-underground utilities will serve the homes, whose general architecture will be in the popular style often called French Provincial.

Young said he expected construction to start by August 1.
