You aren’t planning to live in your new home for a day. You plan to live there for years to come, making memories every step of the way. To do that, you need a builder dedicated to building high-quality homes that stand the test of time. You need a builder like Colina Homes.

Colina operates under the simple principle that your dream home should be attainable and affordable. More than that, it should be built with superior attention to detail, energy efficiency and craftsmanship so you spend more time enjoying your home than out on a ladder repairing it.

How well built is a Colina home? The builder provides a one-year workmanship warranty, a two-year distribution warranty and a 10-year structural warranty so your home is covered in case of defects. It then goes beyond that to offer a New Construction Home Warranty Service Agreement covering central heating and air conditioning systems, water heaters, plumbing, electric, attic and exhaust fans and kitchen appliances.

The warranty doesn’t begin when you take possession of your home. It begins on the 366th day after the manufacturer’s systems and appliance warranty expires. It’s like getting an extended warranty on all of the items you use the most.

So how many Colina Homes’ customers have filed a claim? None. Not for the past 12 years. That’s how well built Colina’s homes are. Talk about peace of mind!

But are they beautiful? In one word, yes. The builder offers 10 floor plans priced from the $250,000s in Wedgewood Forest. The one-and-two-story designs feature open floor plans, large family rooms, studies, formal dining rooms, covered patios, entertainment lofts, gourmet kitchens and lavish primary suites. All designs are flexible, allowing you to exchange bedrooms for studies or add a third garage bay.

Becoming a Colina homeowner is easier than you think. The builder helps you with down payment assistance, credit repair and credit building programs, and special lending options for first-time homebuyers, teachers, policemen, firefighters, nurses and veterans.

Want a new home without waiting for the construction dust to settle? Then you might be in the market for an inventory home. Also called “spec” homes, inventory homes are either already under construction or completely built, meaning that you can purchase a brand-new home and move in on your timeline even if it’s quick.

Still not sure if an inventory home is right for you? Here is some food for thought.

Standards are High

Move-in ready homes are built to the same exacting standards as a home built from the ground up. They are protected by the same warranties, and they are just as energy efficient. The only difference is your timetable. You can move into an inventory home right away – not six months from the day you signed your contract.

It’s Easy

The lure of a new build home is the opportunity to make all of your own choices when it comes to flooring, paint, cabinets, carpeting and more. If you are someone who would rather leave those choices to someone else you feel might have more design sense than you do, an inventory home may be the perfect choice. You simply tour the home, fall in love, buy it and move in. Oh, and it still has that new home smell.

You Can Still Make Choices

Not all inventory homes are sold “finished.” Many are sold in various stages of completion, so you still have time to put your personal stamp on your new home. That could mean being able to add a media room or upgrading appliances. Of course, if it isn’t finished yet, you will have to wait a little to move in but not as long as you would have to if your home was being built from the ground up.

You Might Get a Deal

Toward the end of the year, builders will offer incentive packages for inventory homes. Purchasing a home then might get you discounted pricing, no closing costs and upgrades

Wedgewood Forest Has Inventory Homes

Inventory homes can be hard to find these days thanks to Houston’s robust housing market, but both Colina Homes and DH Homes have inventory homes ready and waiting for you. Many of them include structural options and upgrades and others are not quite finished so you can still choose your paint colors, floors and fixtures. We invite you to come see them today — but hurry, they could be gone tomorrow.

When it comes to offering our residents opportunities to live life outdoors, Wedgewood Forest is all in. Our nature-inspired amenities take their cue from our big, beautiful hills. Compared to other master-planned communities they are a breath of fresh air.

Our newest amenity, Wedgewood Cove Fish Camp, is easy to get hooked on. There is a rustic cabin with flex space, a covered deck where you can take in the sights and a ramp that leads to a 22-foot floating pier. Love walks by the water’s edge? We’ve included a 1,000-foot walking trail.

Directly across from Fish Camp is Butterfly Park. This lovely, landscaped park is the perfect place to let the kids run free. Take in the scents of the beautiful flowers and see how many butterflies you can spot.

We’ve located our tennis court up at Lookout Bluff. After working on your backhand, you can use your other hand to devour lunch. We provide the tables; you provide the picnic.

Some of our residents swear that walking by Turtle Creek relieves stress. We don’t know about that, but we love the sound of the water and the sheer beauty of it.

Kids spend hours at our nature-themed playground. It’s the most adorable playground we’ve ever seen with ladybirds to ride on and cute slides to swish down.

When the day is done, Wedgewood Forest residents return to beautiful homes and outdoor patios where they can enjoy a meal or a glass of wine.

If you love living your life outdoors, Wedgewood Forest is the perfect community to call home. Visit us and tour model homes today.

From tours of our beautiful new model homes to food trucks, inflatables, music and the chance to win fabulous prizes such as a Ritz-Carlton weekend getaway our recent Puttin’ on the Ritz grand opening celebration was absolutely unforgettable.
