Positioned along Houts Reservoir, each home in the Shores Collection has views of the Reservoir or open space.

From just under 2,000 square feet to almost 3,000 square feet, the four plans in the Shores Collection offer high-end finishes and unbeatable views. The only hard part of living in these townhomes is deciding whether to spend your time outside or in!
