Ohio-based Epcon Communities, the 40th-largest home builder in the U.S. and the 22nd largest privately owned home building company in the country has announced the development of six new communities in Ohio, North Carolina, Texas, Indiana and Wisconsin. This comes on the heels of recent community openings in four states last month.

The company’s ranch-style homes are designed to appeal to the 55+ demographic, who are the majority of new home buyers. The six new communities breaking ground include:

Pond View Estates, Appleton, Wis.
These ranch-style luxury homes will be located in a country setting in northeastern Wisconsin near Lake Michigan and the northern end of Lake Winnebago.

Ladera Mansfield, Mansfield, Texas
Developed by Epcon Franchise Builder Keller Lifestyle Communities, the Ladera Mansfield homes offer six popular Epcon models — the Verona, the Palazzo, the Torino, the Portico, the Promenade and the Salerno. The 1,500- to 2,700 square-foot homes have two to three bedrooms, two to three baths and private outdoor courtyards. The community enjoys a prime location with proximity to the major metropolitan hubs, Fort Worth and Dallas.

The Courtyards of Zionsville, Zionsville, Ind.
Located close to downtown Indianapolis, Zionsville boasts specialty shops and dining options suited to an active adult lifestyle. Developed by Epcon Franchise Builder Neer Development, the community is expected to be completed in the spring of 2017. The 1,500- to 2,700-square-foot homes will be built according to one of three models — the Palazzo, Portico and Promenade — and will have the option of including a bonus second floor suite.

Fairway Estates at Catawba Island Club, Port Clinton, Ohio
This resort community is being developed by Epcon Franchise Builders Tony Corona and Thomas Bohlander of Fairway and Sunshine Development. The community is surrounded by an Arthur Hills 18-hole championship golf course and Lake Erie and the Catawba Island Club are a short walk or golf cart ride away. A bonus for homeowners: they can subscribe to affordable golf club memberships, enjoy in-water docks and dry-stack storage for boats and other personal watercraft or enjoy the many amenities in the Grand Clubhouse.

Courtyards at Wesley Chapel, Wesley Chapel, N.C.
Featuring 136 ranch-style homes, the Courtyards is one of two corporate-owned projects launched in North Carolina this year. The 1,500- to 2,700-square-foot homes are offered in three models: the Palazzo, Portico and Promenade. Residents can enjoy wooded walking paths and the amenities of a centrally located clubhouse.

The Courtyards at Andrews Chapel, Durham, N.C.
Located in Durham, home to Duke University and part of North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park, this corporate building project features walking paths and a centrally located Grand Clubhouse. The community encompasses 120 ranch-style homes built according one of three models: the Palazzo, Portico and Promenade.
