Presidential Glen, the new Greater Austin planned neighborhood from LGI Homes, offers three, four and five bedroom homes in a well-designed landscape designed to foster a feeling of both privacy and community.
Community: LGI Homes has thoughtfully located each home on a generously sized lot. Fully landscaped in front and privacy fenced in the back, these freestanding distinctive residences share a natural green preserve crisscrossed by walking paths leading to a covered picnic pavilion. Nearby, in a park-like setting complete with benches, neighbors can sit and chat while they watch their children slide or swing high up to a Texas—wide blue sky.
Home Features: Each three, four or five bedroom home features an attached two-car garage and two baths. Free upgrades (valued at more than $10,000) include vaulted ceilings, brushed nickel fixtures and hardware, raised six panel doors, granite countertops and custom built cabinets. LGI Homes plans interiors to maximize room for you and your family and ease your daily chores with a utility room and high quality appliances. This spacious new home might be purchased for a little as $629/month. With low HOA fees, home ownership could be less than the cost of renting.
Come Home. With a new construction warranty and no money down, you may soon be comfortably living at Presidential Glen not far from the lively city of Austin, Texas.
