What makes a Community Unique? This video on Founders Pointe will share their secret...

Founders Pointe- Live Close to What Matters Most

A short drive down Sugar Hill Road may seem like any other in Isle of Wight County. But one mile in sits a community of custom homes nestled into quiet lanes and private cul-de-sacs tucked among an inviting marsh, creek and wooded landscape.

And that's just the beginning of life at East West Communities' Founders Pointe, the site of Tidewater Builders Association's first Spring Homearama this past May where eight furnished and landscaped showcase custom homes were on display. Distinctive architectural home styles and a great attention to streetscape are just a couple of the reasons why Founders Pointe has been selected "Community of the Year" twice.

True to form, the development company that is known for building environmentally sensitive communities and resorts in two states is doing just that in Isle of Wight County.

With quality custom homes from the mid-$400's to about $1 million, Founders Pointe overlooks the Batten Bay and boasts breathtaking views that invite outdoor activities. It also offers residents resort-style amenities of a community clubhouse, swimming pool, playground, miles of leisure trails and a full social calendar. Plans are for 319 homes in Founders Pointe, and 150 families have already chosen to live there.

Residents from all across the spectrum - It has really appealed to everyone who's looking to be nicely removed from the city. The community lends itself to programs and attractions and has facilities that are attractive to all of the different ages.

Location, location, location

Founders Pointe is centrally located between the Peninsula and Norfolk near historic Smithfield in Isle of Wight County. Nestled in a pastoral countryside, the neighborhood offers a quiet retreat from everyday living with the conveniences of neighboring cities.

It's not just a great place to live and play, but the area is a great place to work. There are numerous employers within 15 minutes of Founders Pointe. For many people in the Hampton Roads market, it's an excellent location given their employment circumstances. Despite an economic downturn, Founders Pointe has managed to consistently sell homes, with over 22 homes ales so far in 2010. Low taxes, low interest rates, low traffic congestion, and excellent schools have all helped accelerate the sales pace this year.

The Amenities

Residents enjoy breathtaking views from the nature trails or the 844-foot observation pier with two decks. There will also be over three miles of trails and sidewalks upon completion.

Founders Pointe also boasts a $2 million Residents' Club that features a coastal cottage-style clubhouse and a 4,000-square-foot resort-style pool with a 112-foot waterslide. In addition to providing spaces for social gatherings, family activities and meetings, the clubhouse can be used for teen events, yoga classes, birthday parties and more.

The clubhouse and the pool, again for a community of 300 homes, is extraordinary and people love it. It's a great feature of the community. Adjacent to the clubhouse sits a sand volleyball court, picnic area with an outdoor grill, playground and walking and jogging trails.
