People who live in states like Colorado and Texas, where new homes are selling most, have the highest well-being. According to a recently released Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, and Metrostudy data reported by Builder, the top 10 states for well-being make up more than a quarter of 2014’s new home sales.
The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index ranks states based on five factors pertaining to overall resident well-being including purpose, social, physical, financial, and community. The 10 highest states are predominantly concentrated in the Mountain region and the lowest in the Midwest.
States with greater sense of community well-being aligning with new home sales reaffirm trends like high value placed on walkable neighborhoods and mixed-use developments. These trends reinforce physical and social well-being, too. States with higher well-being are already host to metros with high walkability, and the numbers of new communities capitalizing on this trend are growing.
Spirited sales activity at Lennar’s River Walk community in Burlington Township has prompted the national home builder to release a new building of townhomes to the public.
The new residences are situated in a picturesque section of the community that backs up to woods, providing scenic tree-lined views and a greater sense of privacy. River Walk’s townhomes are attractively priced from the mid-$200,000s, while a limited offering of Carriage homes remain available for sale.
“We’ve clearly tapped into a segment of the market that has been underserved in New Jersey,” said Don Bompensa, President of Lennar’s New Jersey Division. “There is tremendous demand for new-construction homes in a lifestyle community at this price point, and River Walk is filling that demand.”
Located on Aqua Lane, near the Delaware River in historic Burlington Township, River Walk is ideally situated near Route 130, Route 295, the New Jersey Turnpike and the New Jersey Turnpike Extension into Pennsylvania. The New Jersey Transit River Line Light Rail system is nearby, offering quick, efficient mass-transportation, with transfers available to Philadelphia. Historic downtown Burlington includes a wide variety of entertainment such as quaint shops, gourmet restaurants and upscale bars and lounges.
Two townhome designs and two Carriage Home floor plans are available at River Walk, with more than ten distinctive elevations, creating an attractive streetscape with visually interesting and diverse facades. The townhomes include the Turnbury, which features three bedrooms, two full baths, two half baths, a two-car garage and 2,191 square feet of living space, and the Monterey, which offers three bedrooms, two full baths, two additional half baths and a one-car garage in its 1,933 square-foot design.
The Carriage Home designs include the 1,933 square-foot Princeton model on the upper level and the 1,216 square-foot Braeburn model on the lower level. The Princeton features three bedrooms, two full baths, one half-bath and a one-car garage, while the Braeburn includes two bedrooms, two full baths and a one-car garage.
The value each home offers is enhanced by Lennar’s nationally-acclaimed “Everything’s Included” program, which provides buyers with today’s most popular features and upgrades already included in the purchase price, such as granite countertops, cabinetry, hardwood flooring, stainless steel appliances and electric and plumbing fixtures.
A variety of delivery dates are available, including quick-move in homes that give buyers who have already sold their present home the opportunity to call River Walk home immediately. Interested buyers can tour the community’s four furnished model homes which represent all four home designs.
River Walk offers all of its homeowners access to a wide variety of amenities, including a clubhouse with an exercise room and an outdoor pool. The community’s park-like setting within a row of trees that encircle the property, winding walking paths and multi-acre pocket park provide a relaxing atmosphere and hours of passive recreation.
