Welcome to Alta Vista, where resort-style amenities, a welcoming community, and affordable homeownership come together! This brand-new 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,413 square feet of single-level living. The living room is anchored by a fireplace and opens to a kitchen with a center island, a pantry, and a dining area that steps right out to the covered front porch. The primary suite sits at the back of the home with a walk-in closet, a private bath with a double vanity, and a door out to the back deck. Two more bedrooms share the full hall bath, and the laundry room is just inside the entry from the attached two-car garage. A covered porch runs nearly 27 feet across the front of the home. Spend sunny summer days by the impressive 50,000-gallon swimming pool, enjoy a friendly game of pickleball with neighbors, or stay active in the fitness center. The beautiful community lodge, featuring a stone fireplace, community kitchen, and reservable event space, is perfect for gathering with friends and celebrating special occasions. A paved walking path is currently being built, and TART is extending its 3 Mile Trail to Hammond Road, offering even more ways to enjoy the outdoors. Best of all, these amenities are yours to enjoy without the expense and upkeep of maintaining them yourself! Alta Vista also offers a unique property-tax structure that can make homeownership more affordable. The home itself isn't taxed like a traditional house. Its $3 monthly Michigan specific tax is already included in the site rent, while improvements such as the garage and deck are taxed under East Bay Township rules. That adds up to a much lower tax bill than a comparable home on its own land. While the monthly community fee may be higher, it covers an impressive collection of amenities and is balanced out by the lower taxes. Affordable new homes, luxury amenities, and a real sense of community, all in one place!
