The Meres Celebrates and Preserves the Natural Features While Providing Future Home Buyers with a Variety of Home Options

(PRWEB) June 2, 2008 -- The Meres has a thorough and meticulous approach in building implementation to ensure the best result in a home, street, and neighborhood. This will be good for the overall cohesive character of this community. Guidelines have been created with the belief in a higher quality design and housing architecture create greater overall value for both residents and investors. "Greater value is measured by the long term investment return and the quality of life offered to residents." stated Dell Strickland a development partner.

The developer has chosen to emphasize a common character throughout the community taking inspiration from the Arts & Crafts movement. The intent here is to create a neighborhood of unique identity in Athens Alabama real estate (http://www.condosandresorts.com/meres) that is sensitive to local precedents and traditions. Although builders are encouraged to find inspiration from a wide range of historical styles including Craftsman, Mission, and Prairie, the developer does not wish to direct them toward any one particular style. Instead, the goal is to offer guidelines where new buildings establish the community's rightful place within the City of Athens, while fostering a conscientious connection with time-honored building designs.

The Meres offers a variety of amenities for community members of all ages. Walking trails with resting areas along the way provide residents with panoramic views of lakes and natural wetlands. Located at the edge of the wetlands is the community clubhouse and pool. Here residents can meet with neighbors for hours of recreation and relaxation.

Many lot styles are available:

The Home style of Arts & Crafts can be found in a wide range of historical styles that include the Bungalow, Craftsman Style, Mission Style, and Prairie Style. In these architectural styles, buildings featured overhanging eaves, a low slung gabled roof, and wide front porches framed by pedestal-like tapered columns. Materials often included stone, rough-hewn wood and stucco found locally. The vernacular for The Meres is expressive of this style of architecture.
