Steady traffic and eager buyers resulted in six sales the first week.

"The homes are spacious, stylish, energy-efficient and offer something unique with the addition of Pardee's exclusive GenSmart suite. This attached room is like a guest house within the home and includes a private entry and living, sleeping and eating spaces."
