With the $10,000 state tax credit and historically low interest rates in place, homebuyers are finding that right now is the perfect time to buy a home and the perfect home to buy is located at Van Daele’s Summit Crest in Lake Forest. As the only new home community in Lake Forest , Summit Crest offers homebuyers 29 newly constructed homes nestled among the mature landscape and meandering streets of a well-established neighborhood and ideally situated to offer stunning views. Fueled by the desire to experience pride of ownership and community and the value that is inherent to a neighborhood with no Mello-Roos taxes, buyers have purchased more than 50% of the homes at Summit Crest since the model opening in late March. Van Daele Homes is also pleased to offer a 3% broker co-op for homebuyers already working with a real estate agent.

Summer move-ins are underway, and 19 more homes are expected to be completed in early August, just in time for a new school year to begin. The recently completed private community park offers the perfect place for families to meet for play-dates and build friendships.

In addition to the three stunning model homes which are now offered for sale, homebuyers can drive the streets of Summit Crest and get a sense of the nearly completed community.  The streetscape is adorned with varying architectural themes, including American Farmhouse, Bungalow and Craftsman styles, lending to a semi-custom feel. Plans are accented with decorative stone, a charming covered entry or welcoming porch.

Priced from the upper $600,000’s, Summit Crest offers versatile, two story homes with approximately 2,449 to 3,026 square feet, 3 to 5 bedrooms and 3.5 to 4 baths.
