Meet Jiaxin Ji and Xidan Yuan, New Neighbors at Ten Trails!

Ten Trails is happy to introduce new residents, Jiaxin Ji and Xidan Yuan! These first-time home buyers moved into the community in September and are loving life in the new Magnolia floorplan home from Lennar!

Better Commute and Quality of Life

Jiaxin works at Boeing and used to commute to his workplace from University Place near Tacoma. “The traffic going past the Tacoma Dome can be terrible,” he says. “This commute from Ten Trails is much easier.” The couple also notes that they love that Ten Trails is in a quiet, wooded setting, but still close to nearby shopping plazas for day-to-day needs.

Lennar Single Family Homes at Ten Trails

When home shopping in the summer, the couple really loved a few of the many single-family home options at Ten Trails but ultimately decided to go with the Magnolia plan by Lennar. The builder’s “everything’s included” philosophy, the home’s price point and the great layout really appealed to them and fit their needs.

Building Community

Jiaxin and Xidan have enjoyed getting to know their immediate neighbors and look forward to attending some of the community events in the future and meeting even more new residents. “We live close to a park and our neighbors have a fire in the park’s firepit almost every week,” Jiaxin says. “It has been nice getting acquainted with everyone.” Welcome to the community, Jiaxin and Xiadan! We are so happy you chose Ten Trails for Your New Hometown! 360.469.4043 www.TenTrails.com
