Some of you know you are ready for the maintenance free lifestyle, ready to join our community and take part in the great events at the clubhouse. Some of you know that a maintenance-free lifestyle is right for you. Some of you are ready to put away the mower and start living.
But some of you are waiting?
Why?
Because the TV told you to?
You are smarter than that. The time to buy is when everyone says don't buy. The time to jump in is now.
Are you worried about selling your home? Don't worry. We can help you with that. True, locally homes stay on the market a little longer (about 20-30 extra days) but prices have remained stable so while the talking heads prattle on, remember locally things are still very stable. And here at Peach Grove Villas, things are still going strong.
Can't you just picture yourself in your brand-new Epcon Communities home? No cares for lawn work, hedge trimming or exterior maintenance, as we do it all for you. Can't you see yourself with freinds (new and old) relxing at the clubhouse, watching a ball game or having a cookout? Can't you imagine what it would be like when time becomes your ally? Like many of our residents -- you will wonder what took you so long.
So now that we have that out of the way, what are you waiting for. What is the cost of living in the wrong home (time cost, cost of going up and down stairs, cleaning needless space or throwing money away on rent). What is the true cost? You have to answer this for yourself. But when you do, we think you will find what our residents have found: Rule #1: Live In The Right Home.

About the Area
The area around Peach Grove Villas consists mostly of other residential communities. Most notable are Woodcreek Farms, Green Hill Parish and WildeWood. These communities are mostly new brick homes with some homes having stone and hardy-plank (especially in Green Hill Parish). Woodcreek Farms and WildeWood are anchored by private sister golf courses. The course at Woodcreek Farms was designed by Tom Fazio. Residents of Peach Grove Villas can enjoy memberships at the two private golf courses which charge very reasonable dues and initiation fees. Woodcreek Farms and Green Hill Parish are both new construction communities.
The burgeoning section of Northeast Columbia around the site is anchored by the new Village at Sandhill. Located just 1.5 miles from Peach Grove Villas, The Village at Sandhill provides a dynamic outdoor mall shopping experience complete with weekly concerts, events and festivals. The Sandhill Farmers Market is across the street. The rest of the surrounding area boasts shopping, restaurants and other retail in all directions including WalMart, Target, Publix, Kroger, Bi Lo, Lowes, Bed Bath and Beyond and Circuit City, all within 5 miles of the community. Many restaurants are also within this radius including traditional restaurants like the Olive Garden, Carrabba's and Red Lobster as well as smaller local restaurants like Travinia, San Jose and Lizard's Thicket. The menus range from Italian to Greek to Mexican to Japanese to Chinese.
About 5 miles away is Sesquicentennial State Park, a park of over 1400 acres built by the Civil Conservation Corps in the 1930s. Providence Hospital is also along Two Notch Road, providing quality medical care. The area is also about 15 minutes from downtown and about the same distance from the local VA hospital.
In addition to the award winning golf courses at Woodcreek Farms and WildeWood the immediate area has two other courses: Woodlands Country Club and Spring Valley Country Club. Coosa Golf School a lighted teaching facility, range and Par 3 Course is about 5 miles away. Just over 5 miles away are Windermere Golf Club, Columbia Country Club and The Golf Club of South Carolina at Crickentree (Columbia's Best Golf Value).
In yet another positive story, Builder Magazine outline the healthiest new housing markets last year. Not suprisingly The Carolinas and Texas fared very well.
Here is how it was done:
"(We analyzed) 75 housing markets in the country. We ranked them based on population trends and job growth, perennial drivers of housing demand. We also examined what's happened with home prices; many of the healthiest markets have managed to hold the line on home values. And finally, we considered the rate building permits, which may be the single best ongoing indicator of builder confidence in a market. We combined all these metrics to produce a score for each market."

The Epcon Community in Norteast Columbia, SC (Peach Grove Villas) will be offering Epcon's latest design, The Courtyard Collection.
The homes were planned in response to a groundbreaking study revealing Boomers affinity for outdoor living and recreation, as well as a need for privacy and desire to have an all-in one home that's the square footage they want and the price they need. In addition, the research revealed that homeowners refused to sacrifice style or amenities for a "right-sized" home.
Featuring four new single-story floorplans and private, lifestyle-focused outdoor courtyards, Epcon Communities is revving up for a year that has the potential to be its best yet. While some builders are reporting losses, we have never been better poised for growth or more excited about the future. "Epcon has emerged during the last decade as a market leader, and if we are to continue in this role we must also continue to be open and innovative," said Principal Edward Bacome of Epcon Communities. "Innovation has always been part of our culture. Today it is more important than ever before to stay ahead of the curve, and we believe these new designs do just that."
Vacation 365 days a year
With an abundance of new amenities, all four new models will offer residents private, outdoor courtyard areas, catering to the idea that outdoor living should be as central to design and as carefully planned as interior home design. The courtyard homes will offer residents exciting options for outdoor entertaining and a private outdoor living space that can be utilized 365 days per year. Homeowners will also have courtyard décor options such as a fire pit, water features, paver patio and trellis, creating a unique entertaining and gathering space that is unprecedented in both its segment of homes and in its price range. Creating a sun-filled panorama of indoor living space, homes are all centered around the exterior courtyard feature, allowing for beautiful outdoor views from the family room, dining room, kitchen and master bedroom. The distinctive homes will also include an upgraded formal dining room space, abundant closet and pantry space, an updated master bedroom and bathroom with a contemporary doorless shower, a 2.5-car garage, and a covered front porch and entryway.
The kitchen will feature several updates as well, with elegant island areas, open living space views and abundant cabinetry and finish options. The new designs offer ample amenities and outdoor living space, while also improving the lifestyle appeal for residents. Offering more architectural diversity within the communities and enhanced privacy, the homes create cohesive, beautiful communities with distinct personalities and diverse exterior facades.
