Two Floorplan Options for Multi-Generational Living at Ten Trails

Ten Trails is happy to announce there are now two floorplan options for multi-generational living in the community! Lennar at Ten Trails recently introduced the Camano floorplan which offers a unique “home within a home” for home buyers who are looking for added space in their homes for additional family members. The Camano joins the Bainbridge, which was the community’s original “NextGen” floorplan

Homes Designed for the Way We Live Today at Ten Trails

Today’s families are increasingly more blended with older parents living under the same roof as their younger family members, or college students returning home after school to live at home for a period of time. Ten Trails’ builder partner, Lennar, took note of this trend and was one of the first builders in the country to design homes to accommodate this new way of living.

Two Homes Under One Roof

The Ten Trails Bainbridge NextGen home and the Camano NextGen Home come with a secondary space within the main home with its own kitchenette, living area, full bathroom and separate entrance so family members can have their own privacy while still being part of the larger home.

Benefits of Lennar’s Next Gen Homes at Ten Trails

There are plenty of benefits to living in a Next Generation Home by Lennar. Style and function meet in the two gorgeous floorplans which offer families flexible living spaces. By sharing a home and expenses, families can decrease their overall utility costs and home and yard care costs. In the case of families with young children, having a grandparent or other relative living in the home can also help decrease childcare costs–not to mention increasing quality time spent with family members.

Meet the Asante Family | New Residents at Ten Trails in Black Diamond, WA 

Ten Trails is happy to introduce some of our newest residents, the Asantes! Heather, Imani, and Emma Asante moved to Ten Trails from West Seattle in October with their Shitzu-Poodle, Charlie.

Search for a Close-Knit Community with Family Nearby

Heather and Imani began their search for their new home in south King County to be closer to their family members live in Covington. Heather and Emma visited the Welcome Center and model homes early last fall and fell in love with the sense of community they felt at Ten Trails, the beautiful new model homes, and all of the parks and green spaces in the community.

Hickory Floorplan by Lennar at Ten Trails

The couple chose to purchase the Hickory floorplan by Lennar because the floorplan fit their family’s needs and they especially loved the home’s large, open kitchen and living space. “We loved being able to have family come to our house this year for the holidays,” Heather says. Prior to moving to Ten Trails, the family of three lived in a rental home in West Seattle that was less than 1,000 square feet total in size with only one bathroom. “Having all of this extra space has been amazing,” Heather says.

Community Events at Ten Trails

The Asantes are looking forward to warmer weather and being able to get outside more to gather with neighbors in the parks and at one of the community’s many fire pits. Imani says he would love to get out and explore some of the community’s many trails this spring and check out the nearby Black Diamond Open Space Park with his mountain bike. “We love being out here so close to nature,” he says. “It’s a perfect escape at the end of a workday in the city.” Welcome to the community! We are so happy you chose Ten Trails as your new hometown! 360.469.4043 www.TenTrails.com  

Meet Felecia Wheatfall, New Resident of Ten Trails

Ten Trails is happy to introduce one of our newest residents, Felecia Wheatfall! Felicia is a first-time homebuyer from Renton who moved into her new Lennar home this past November. “It was wonderful to spend Thanksgiving in my home,” says Felecia. Regarding the quick turnaround time from moving day to holiday season, Felecia says it put a lot of pressure on her to try to get the house set up quickly for guests, but the efforts were well worth it. “It was lovely to be able to host my mom and brother for the holiday in my brand new home,” she says.

Easy Commuting with the Microsoft Connector

Felecia is a special projects manager within Microsoft Research. When shopping for homes, her commute was a factor in her final decision of where to buy, and she says Ten Trails’ close proximity to the Microsoft Connector stop in Covington was one of the factors that sold her on buying a new home in the community. She plans to commute to the Microsoft campus in Redmond via the Connector on most days, and work from home when she is able using the one-gig internet in her home via Wave.

First-Time Home Buyer in a Competitive Market

Given the fast-paced and high-priced real estate market in the Seattle area, Felecia says she had all but written off being able to achieve her dream of homeownership before finding Ten Trails. “I had made offers on several homes last year and kept getting outbid by other buyers. The whole process was really frustrating and I was almost ready to give up. The home-buying process was much less stressful when buying a new home from Lennar and I was able to take some time to select the home I really wanted.”

Lennar Storybook Cottages at Ten Trails

It was important to Felecia to purchase a single-family detached home, and the Lennar Storybook Cottages at Ten Trails appealed to her because they were the right size for her needs. “The price point fit my budget and I loved the smart home and “everything’s included” features that Lennar offers.” Felecia also loves that her home is located just steps away from the upcoming Ten Trails Retail Village. “I’m looking forward to walking over to get my coffee in the morning,” she says. Welcome to the community, Felecia! We are so glad you chose Ten Trails as Your New Hometown! 360.469.4043 www.TenTrails.com      

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    

Meet Arie DeQuilettes, New Home Consultant for Lennar at Ten Trails

Meet Arie DeQuilettes, one of the amazing team members you’ll meet when you visit the new master-planned community of Ten Trails in Black Diamond, WA! As one of the newer team members on Lennar’s Ten Trails Team, Arie brings tons of energy and enthusiasm to his role in helping customers select their dream home. Arie was raised in the Bothell area, one of four kids and the only boy among three sisters. Growing up, Arie spent a lot of time with his father who was a homebuilder and electrician. He has fond memories of days spent on jobsites. “I had a huge interest in construction and homebuilding from an early age,” says Arie. “As I got older, it seemed pretty clear that my career path should be in the real estate industry in the new construction side of home sales.”

Bringing Together a Community at Ten Trails in Black Diamond

Arie landed a job as a new home consultant for Lennar in April 2018, and joined the sales team at Ten Trails in the summer of 2019. “I love working on site at Ten Trails,” says Arie. “The strong sense of community that residents have here is something really unique and special. The community events really bring residents together, and there’s this feeling of living in a small town yet we are still so close to everything that Seattle and Tacoma have to offer.”

“Everything’s Included” with New Homes by Lennar at Ten Trails

Arie cites the value customers get when buying a home from Lennar as one of the many reasons to purchase from this award-winning, national builder. “Our homes offer so many extras that are included in the purchase price like the blinds and appliances. At Ten Trails, homebuyers also get a Wi-Fi certified home combined with the community’s one-gig speed internet. That’s a really powerful combination for today’s tech-savvy families.” Arie also notes that Lennar is heavily focused on the customer experience when purchasing a home. “We want to make sure the homebuyer has the best experience possible from the first time they tour our model homes to when they are settled in their new place.

Meet the Rae Family! New Neighbors at Ten Trails

Meet some of Ten Trails’ newer residents, the Rae family! Ben and Sarah Rae moved their family of five to the community from nearby Covington and couldn’t be happier with their new Lennar Aspen model home! “We came from a three-bedroom home and needed more space,” says Ben of the couple’s initial reason for moving. “We also were hoping to move into a neighborhood where the kids would have other children their own age to play with, and we definitely found that here at Ten Trails.”

Community Parks and Amenities

The Raes love spending time in the community park that’s just steps away from their front door, and the family enjoys taking walks over to the Civic Park where the Rae kids: Benny, Sophia and June, enjoy the playground equipment and playing hockey in the sports court. “We also bought bikes after moving in so we could bike around the community,” says Sarah. “We love the wide sidewalks that make it easy for all of us to bike.”

“Everything’s Included” with Lennar Homes at Ten Trails

Ben and Sarah were attracted to the Lennar Homes at Ten Trails because of the layouts and the builder’s “everything’s included” philosophy where Smart Home Technology and Voice Automation services, as well as things like windows and blinds, and stainless steel appliances are all set up in the home and included in the purchase price. “It was a tough choice between the Aspen and the Magnolia models,” says Sarah. “But we are really happy with our decision.” The family loves spending time in the home’s large, open great room and having the huge kitchen island for meal prep.

A Sense of Community

One of the pleasant surprises Ben and Sarah found when choosing to move into Ten Trails was how quickly they were able to meet other families in the community. “We have a text chain with some of the local couples and we all love to get together at the community firepits,” says Ben. “We have enjoyed how easy it has been to get to know neighbors since we’ve moved in.” Welcome to Your New Hometown, Rae family! We are happy you chose to move to Ten Trails! 360.469.4043 www.TenTrails.com

Marc works as part of the Lennar team who are onsite at Ten Trails seven days a week to show customers their gorgeous new model homes and answer questions about investing in a new home in the community.

Master Planned Community Concept 

Marc is huge advocate for master planned communities, having lived in one for the past 12 years. “My wife Lisa and I loved raising our three boys there,” Marc says. He bought his home when the planned community was just beginning to develop, and has seen firsthand the benefits that can come from living in a growing community.  “I tell all of my customers  that Ten Trails is going to be even more impressive as it continues to grow. The retail, schools and future development will all be within walking distance to homes, so residents can come, home, park their cars, walk to dinner, or check out one of the many events going on in the community.”

A Seattle Area Native with a Love of the Outdoors

Marc was raised in the Snoqualmie Valley and, like many northwest natives, grew up with a huge love of the outdoors and outdoor activities like skiing, mountain-biking, hiking and fishing. He even has the distinction of being one of the few people to have summited Mount Rainier, which he did with a mountaineering team five years ago. Marc loves sharing his love of the outdoors with his wife Lisa and three sons and, whenever they can, his family enjoys spending time in their cabin up at Mount Baker.

Meet the Ferguson Family, New Residents of Ten Trails 

The Fergusons are new residents of Ten Trails by way of Orange County, California. This family of six was looking for a master-planned community in King County and Ten Trails checked all of their boxes! They liked the community so much, in fact, that they decided to buy months ahead of when they originally planned to do so.

Master Planned Community Concept

In California, master planned communities are much more common than they are in this part of the country and the Fergusons knew that’s what they were looking for in their new home. “We looked at some other communities nearby that weren’t master planned,” said Kelli Ferguson, “but ultimately decided that we like living in a community where the homes, parks and amenities are all integrated like they are at Ten Trails. We also knew we definitely wanted a brand new home, so the community was a great fit for our family.”

Common Areas, Parks and Trails 

Since moving in, the Fergusons have been taking full advantage of Ten Trails’ many open common areas and parks. “We have gotten together with neighbors to makes s’mores at the fire pits,” said Kelli. “And my husband takes the kids over the Civic Park almost every day.”

New Neighbors Creating a Community

One thing the Fergusons have really enjoyed is getting to know their new neighbors. “It has just been great to move in around the same time as other people,” said Kelli. “It has been so easy to meet our neighbors and make friends. We watch each others’ kids and have really found a great sense of community here.” Welcome to the neighborhood! We are so glad you chose to make Ten Trails your new hometown! 360.469.4043 www.TenTrails.com
