WHY IT WORKED: Large homes at great prices are the winning combination at Timber Meadow, located just two miles from major highways and in a highly rated school district. A low 2.76 percent property-tax rate didn’t hurt, either.

  • First-time home buyers, usually families with children, like the big bedrooms as well as game room or study options.
  • Popular upgrades with the best-selling 2300 plan include an additional half-bath and brick exterior.

  • Three of the 11 floor plans have two-car garages.
  • Hispanic home buyers appreciate Obra Homes’ bilingual sales staff. Even the mortgage companies it recommends are able to transact business in Spanish.
