There are signs of a growing housing market all over Beaumont.

Residential construction is up.  In fact it made the front page of The Beaumont Enterprise newspaper today. New developments are planned.  Lots are being sold to builders who are just waiting to start construction on new homes.  Richard Guseman, president of the Home builders association of SE Texas was quoted in the Enterprise saying about our area -referring to Beaumont- "We’ve finally been discovered…and everyone is experiencing a lot of growth." His company for one plans to increase the number of homes they are building this year. 

One sign of our hot housing market is the increase in condos and town homes being built in the area.  Beaumont’s housing market has two new town home projects. 

The first of the town home communities to arrive was Cathedral Square.  Located in the downtown historic district, these town homes and lofts are available from prices starting in the $140’s for a one bedroom and 170’s for a two bedroom.  Next to arrive is Metropolitan Park.  Metropolitan Park is located off Dowlen Road in the desirable Beaumont West-end.  It is the first master planned community in Beaumont that combines luxury residential living with shopping and office/retail space.  Beaumont’s housing market took a big step toward major housing market status when Metropolitan Park broke ground.  A local Beaumont couple is making Metropolitan Park a reality.  The first town homes in Metropolitan Park have gone on the market.  You can buy a 2 bedroom 2 bath with prices starting around $202,000 and going up into the high 200’s. The architectural renderings of the community are visually stunning.

If you can’t wait to see the new town homes in person, you’ll have to practice some patience.  They are in the preliminary stages of development.  No exact dates yet when there will be finished product to see.  Right now the architectural drawings and your imagination will have to do.  If you want to be one of the first to own in Metropolitan Park you’ll need to act now.  The first nine townhomes have come on the market and are now available for purchase.
