Columbia Parade of Homes

The Columbia Parade of Homes is underway now at Saluda River Club. The 24th annual Parade of Homes runs through November 2nd at this exciting new community in Lexington, South Carolina. If you're looking to buy a new home or get ideas for building a new home or for decorating ideas, you need to make sure you get out to view these 6 custom built homes. Builders featured in the 2008 include: Baudo & Associates Home Builders, Capital Construction, Carolina Custom Homes, Dunbar Builders, Vesta Builders and Zeigler Home Builders.

The Parade is open daily through November 2 from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily. Tickets are $7 each and are available at the event. Directions: Take I-20 West to Exit 61, Hwy. 378. Turn toward Lexington. Take an immediate right on Corley Mill Road. The entrance to Saluda River Club is located 1.5 miles down Corley Mill Road on the right hand side. GPS address location: 644 Corely Mill Road, Lexington, SC 29072

Visit the parade (before it's gone) for new home construction techniques and home decoration ideas. You will enjoy seeing custom kitchens, outdoor patio areas, green construction ideas, custom media rooms, the best in smart home technology and energy efficiency and much more. ALL of the homes are very nice and have unique features. My favorite home was The Briarwood, built by Baudo & Associates Home Builders. Be sure to check out the smart home technology and the large home theater with stadium seating. The home is so special it's already SOLD! Mr. Baudo can build you another one like this.

The Saluda River Club is Lexington’s newest community. I have been to this community twice now and IT IS my personal favorite new home community in all of the Columbia area. I live at Lake Muray (for the past 5 years). IF I did not live at Lake Murray, I'd want to live at Saluda River Club! I'll do another blog by the end of the year just on Saluda River Club. It's one of the most beautiful places in Columbia along the banks of the Saluda River.

Community Spotlight - Belmont Townes

I recently visited Belmont Townes in the West Columbia area. Belmont Townes is a new and very nice townhome community with a short commute to Lexington or Columbia.

These homes are affordable and quality built by Hallmark Homes. Homes are currently priced between $116,500 and $120,000. It's SMART to buy your own home rather than pay rent!

Belmont Townes is conveniently located about half way between Lexington and downtown Columbia. Also located within 7 minutes of Blemont Townes: 2 Interstates (I-26 and I-20), Lexington Pavilion (includes Target), Lexington Medical Center, Congaree Vista, Wal-Mart Supercenter, and Columbia Metropolitan Airport. This great community has a great location!

Features include: dual owner's suites with private baths and closets, study/office, gas fireplace, 9 foot smooth ceilings on main level, and a private patio. A very reasonable $45 per month regime fee includes all of your landscaping maintenance. These new townhomes are energy efficient too.

BUY a Belmont Townes home and SAVE (build equity with significant tax benefits), SAVE (gasoline) and SAVE (electric bills).

Call Mel Coker NOW for a free and no-obligation tour of Belmont Townes. You'll be impressed!
