Fast Pace of Home Sales Shows Ten Trails has What Homebuyers Want Most

Since opening just over two years ago, Ten Trails, the master planned community in Black Diamond managed by Oakpointe Communities, has seen home sales increase at a brisk pace and is well-known in the Puget Sound area as a desirable place to live. There are many reasons why so many homebuyers choose Ten Trails. Here are just a few!

Many Home Builders to Choose From 

Currently, Ten Trails has eight different builder options to choose from with home products ranging from townhomes to single family detached homes and even some apartments for rent currently under construction and pre-leasing.

A Walkable Community

Walkability remains one of the top features homebuyers desire in a new community. Ten Trails has miles of paved sidewalks and walking trails in addition to our nature trails that weave through the community’s wooded natural areas.

A Strong Sense of Community

Homebuyers want to also feel a sense of connection and community with where they live. Ten Trails offers this through our many shared community amenities and community events that bring residents together. Even during the pandemic, we have found ways to connect with one another and are looking forward to coming together in person again when guidelines allow for it.

Proximity Close to Nature 

Home shoppers are also searching for communities with easy access and proximity to nature. The entire community of Ten Trails is nestled in rural Black Diamond, surrounded by forests and with open and natural spaces integrated throughout the community. It is also located just a short drive from some of the area’s finest outdoors destinations like Crystal Mountain Resort, countless hiking trails, campgrounds, and Mount Rainier National Park. 360.469.4043 www.TenTrails.com

Ichijo Duet Models at Ten Trails

According to Ryan, Ichijo has quite a few building practices that set the company apart. “Ichijo has its own proprietary features that stand out from other builders,” he says. “Things like the pull-down shelf in the kitchen, low-profile magnetic door stops, and our building envelope technology are included with the new duet homes at Ten Trails. The company is also very environmentally friendly,” says Ryan. “Energy efficiency is one of the key characteristics of all of Ichijo’s homes.”

Meet Stuart Sargent, New Home Consultant for Lennar at Ten Trails

Meet Stuart, one of the many friendly faces you’ll meet when you visit Ten Trails in Black Diamond, WA! In his position as New Home Consultant for Lennar, Stuart helps guests visiting the community select the perfect Lennar home to fit their family’s needs. Stuart began his sales career working for Magnolia Hi-Fi selling consumer electronics in the Seattle area. In 1989, Stuart made his move into the real estate industry and joined Windermere to work in their builder services division selling new construction throughout the Puget Sound area. Stuart then went on to work for several new home builders before joining the Lennar Seattle team last year along with his wife, Fay. “It was the best thing we could have ever done,” says Stuart. “Lennar is a huge company but it feels so much like a family-run business. Everyone is so warm and thoughtful and caring. The company offers a bunch of events and family days, so you really feel like you are part of a close-knit group rather than a large, national company.”

A Wide Variety of New Homes at Ten Trails

Having worked in the Seattle area real estate industry for many years, Stuart was aware of Ten Trails long before any homes were built in the community. He always knew he wanted to be involved with the project and, now that he is, enjoys working with potential homebuyers to help them select from a wide variety of home sites and styles in the community. “It’s great to have such diversity of product,” he says. “It’s so much fun for a sales professional to be able to help so many varied homebuyers who are in in different phases of their lives. I see a lot of buyers who are looking for first homes, looking to move up in their home, or buyers who want to downsize, and I am able to offer them a home to fit their needs.” When not working at Ten Trails, Stuart and his wife Fay enjoy spending time in their second home in Palm Springs as well as exploring new restaurants in the Seattle area.
