Meet the Hoyts

Please join us in welcoming the Hoyt family to Ten Trails! The Hoyts moved to community from the Lake Meridian area of Kent in October and became the first family to move in to a Lennar home in Ten Trails!  The Hoyts began their home search in hopes they could find a floorplan that would allow Jackie Hoyt’s mother to move in with the family, and have her living space entirely on the first floor. The plan not only had to have main level living space, but also had to have plenty of room to accommodate a family of four. The Hoyts found their ideal home site and floorplan with the Riverwalk model in the Ten Trails Cottages.

Community Amenities

Beyond finding just the right floorplan for their family–within their budget–the Hoyts were attracted to Ten Trails’ walking paths and the bonus green space right off their front yard, complete with its own fire pit and Adirondack chairs. John, an avid gardener, also admired the community’s lush landscaping woven throughout the parks, trails and home sites.

Connecting with Neighbors Through Community Events

Before moving in, the family attended two of the community’s Hometown Social events and was impressed with the developer’s focus on creating a sense of community among new and future residents through shared experiences like its concerts in the park, game night event, and grand opening wine walk.

Easy Connection with Wave One-Gig Internet

The Hoyts also have enjoyed using their new home’s one-gig internet through Wave Broadband. “We never see any delays in download speed,” says John. “It was easy to get started with our gigabyte router, and all of the cables were clearly marked when we moved in.”

Welcome to the community, John, Jackie, Josephine, and James! We are so happy you chose Ten Trails for Your New Hometown!

Ten Trails Welcomes First Residents 

Ten Trails’ new residents, the McFadden Family, Join us for a Photoshoot and Chat at Ten Trails’ New Civic Park 

It’s early on a summer morning in late July and all is quiet within Ten Trails’ new Civic Park. In the distance, construction workers are beginning their day at Lennar and Conner Homes’ jobsites, and two children can be seen running up the community’s paved pathways toward the park. It’s the two oldest McFadden children, Damian and Nelly, who arrive slightly breathless and eager for their photo to be taken. A short while later, their mother, Leyah, and father, Marty arrive with the two younger McFaddens: Rosy and baby Griffin. The family of six is a happy group, and they are particularly pleased to be back in the Seattle area after living in Utah for the past two years. Originally residing in the Bothell area, the McFaddens had to relocate to Utah for Marty McFadden’s work, but now his job as facility manager brought him back to King County and to where the family desired to be: in close proximity to nature. “We really wanted to be close to outdoor activities,” explains Leyah when asked one of the main reasons they decided to purchase a home in Ten Trails. Ten Trails offers the family everything they were looking for: nearness to nature, easy access to Marty’s work, amenities like the community’s large Civic Park, and miles of accessible biking trails…something Leyah missed while living in the hilly suburb of South Jordan, Utah. The family is no stranger to master planned communities, having just lived in Daybreak, a 4,000-acre planned community located southwest of Salt Lake City. To the McFaddens, Ten Trails’ focus on lifestyle and community-building was a familiar concept, and they look forward to being able to get to know their new neighbors and enjoying new amenities as Ten Trails expands. The community’s built-in gathering spaces as well as monthly family-centric events were also things that appealed to the couple. Beyond embracing Ten Trails’ location and lifestyle, the family has also been enjoying settling in to their new home, built by longtime local builder, Conner Homes, one of the four builders announced for far at Ten Trails. “It’s perfect for how we live,” says Leyah. The open-concept plan with upstairs loft is the ideal layout or the active family, and its nearness to community green spaces provides the children ample space to play beyond their low-maintenance backyard. One new favorite family hangout spot for the McFaddens is the Civic Park. In particular, the family has taken a liking to the hammock swing.  “This is the best thing at this park….it’s even fun for adults,” Marty jokes. Damian and Nelly have enjoyed exploring the park and having it largely all to themselves over the past couple of weeks while they wait for new neighbors to move in. “My mom says this is our park,” Damian says.  Leyah laughs and adds, “Yes, for now it is.” www.TenTrails.com 360.469.4043
