The homes are two-story townhomes with attached garages, covered front porches and covered lanais, and each has a brick-paver driveway. In the Mayport plan, an open great room and kitchen with an island fill the first floor and the bedrooms are upstairs. Townhomes here sold for about $294,000 to $369,000 in the last two years.

New construction in Amber Creek

Please call or text me before you visit a model home or register on a builder's website. In most new construction sales the builder pays my fee, so having me on your side usually does not change the price, and most builders accept your own agent only when that agent registers you on your first visit or first contact.
