Today’s residential real estate market might feel like a roller coaster for potential ICI Homes customers, but townhome living is one of its sureties. Townhomes fit many people seeking a new custom Florida home, whether they’re taking that first step into homeownership, or seeking a lock-up-and-go active lifestyle at any age.
One of the best places to find your new custom Florida townhome is in the West End neighborhood of Nocatee, an iconic master-planned community that’s nearing closeout.
ICI is a preferred builder in Nocatee, which is located just south of Jacksonville and just north of St. Augustine. Our versatile, modern West End townhomes come in multiple floor plans. And, even better? Buying one beats renting one, for many important reasons.
Here’s why ICI Homes’ West End townhomes are a great value, and often the perfect homeownership solution.
Key Takeaways
- Buying a West End townhome allows you to build equity with each mortgage payment instead of putting money toward rent.
- Homeownership can provide greater financial and residential stability, including predictable mortgage payments and freedom from lease renewals or rent increases.
- West End offers eight spacious, two-level ICI Homes townhome floor plans with low-maintenance living and exterior care handled by the homeowners association.
- Located within Nocatee, West End puts residents close to Town Center, community amenities, beaches, and everyday conveniences while offering one of the community’s final new-home opportunities.
Building equity
Most of us buy our homes via mortgages, which require monthly payments just like a lease. So what’s the difference, you might ask, between a mortgage payment and a rent payment?
You’re not stuffing money in someone else’s pocket. You’re paying yourself.
Financial stability
Put another way, you’re investing in yourself when you invest in buying a new home. By doing so, you’re also building wealth.
The longer you own, the more equity you build. The more of your home you own, the more valuable it becomes — a critical fact since for most of us, our home is our largest physical asset.
Residential stability
Your mortgage payment also remains the same from month-to-month, allowing you to budget without fear of unexpected rent increases.
Along with no more rent, you’ll have no more leases to extend or terminate (then have to find another rental).
ICI Homes’ West End townhomes a real value
Buying a townhome rather than a single-family home can be more affordable, particularly for first-time buyers. Although townhomes do share one or two walls (depending on the floor plan), today’s cutting-edge construction techniques and materials make noise a non-factor.
There’s plenty of choices too. ICI Homes offers EIGHT two-level townhome floor plans ranging from 1,633 to 1,966 square feet. All contain rear-load, two-vehicle garages and outdoor living space.
Pro tip: check ICI Homes’ inventory homes for quick-move-in townhomes. Builder incentives also may be in play for special pricing, interest-rate buydowns, or design credits. Be sure to ask our West End sales associates for possibilities.
That’s not all
Aside from the great value and pathway to homeownership, ICI Homes’ West End townhomes are low-maintenance. Contractors hired by the homeowners association do yard and exterior chores — not you!
Nocatee’s West End neighborhood also is convenient — a quick walk, drive, bicycle or golf-cart ride to the community’s retail, services and dining hub — Nocatee Town Center and its new Marketplace at Nocatee.
Amenities? Legendary, and available to all Nocatee residents, while West End residents enjoy their own playground and dog park.
