Ravenscroft Subdivision ♦ History, Townhomes & Features
In November 2011, Ravenscroft is experiencing an upswing of new townhome construction. Though the development began in 2007, the economic downturn severely cramped the progress of Ravenscroft. Patriot Homes, the original developer, is no longer building in Ravenscroft.
 Milestone Community Builders took over the development in 2011 and is now selling both new townhomes and some remaining inventory of Patriot Homes. Milestone has recently opened new models on the south side of Ravenscroft, just behind the community pool.
Milestone offers five new townhome floorplans, each with a famous literary or musical name: Shakespeare, Mozart, Longfellow, Hemmingway and Bronte. The four 2-story layouts have from 1,282 to 1,736 sq. ft. of living space, while the 1-story plan has 1,329 sq. ft. Base prices begin in the mid $130's.
These Ravenscroft townhomes have 2 or 2.5 baths, 2-3 bedrooms and a single-car garage with door opener. The standard features include many things once considered upgrades, including energy efficient windows and insulation, rounded sheetrock corners, satin nickel doorknobs and light fixtures, and much more! Potential buyers have a number of upgrade options available also.
