Meritage plans to offer townhomes ranging in size from approximately 1,600 to 2,000 square feet starting from the mid-$300,000s. The single-family homes, most of which are designed to have direct lake access and docks, are expected to range in size from approximately 2,000 to 3,400 square feet with a starting price of $700,000. Each home includes Meritage’s signature energy efficiency features and M.Connected Home™ Automation Suite.
