Around 19,000 people reside here. Several bodies of water stand out:

• The Mill River

What Could You Build Here?

You could get lots to develop here for prices as low as the mid $100,000's for lots of 3/4 of an acre. There is enough demand for different residential and commercial properties that you're sure to develop something that has an interested buyer within a reasonable timeframe.

Homes

Several types of homes are found throughout this town, from newer construction Colonials to ranches and split levels. On some lots, you might even find a house or barn in need of major rehabilitation that you could fix up and sell easily. Building a new house from the bottom up is always a rewarding experience for both an investor and the buyer.

Building a home in a popular, yet expanded style is one way to attract buyers looking for something a little more unusual to suit their needs. These types of homes, if constructed on large enough lots, both offer expansion space and a place to have a nice garden or outdoor entertaining area. Home office areas somewhat separated from the rest of the house are also a useful feature.

Building homes on cul-de-sacs increases the curb appeal by a considerable margin. Kitchens with peninsula or island kitchens are in demand among many buyers because of the convenience they offer, especially for those who frequently entertain. Offering at least one wall that is mostly glass or at least has oversized windows will draw in buyers who are concerned about having a good view.

Apartment Buildings

There are several apartment styles found in this area, including townhouse-style units and larger buildings with all-interior entries. One of the things that matters the most for apartment shoppers is having apartments of several sizes to select from, from studios up to two or even three or more bedrooms.

When you decide to construct apartment buildings, kitchen space matters, as well as large living areas. If you choose the right lot, you can also offer outdoor community amenities that are perfect for those summer gatherings. The main thing you will have to think of is how to make your property stand out from other buildings that are also attracting a lot of attention.

Commercial Investment Properties

Most of the lots in this area are on less than an acre, but still in prime locations for the right companies. Some of the larger lots that are available are in waterfront locations that offer a very pleasant work environment for both employees and visitors. In any setting, having sufficient parking will make a difference.

There are several office building or industrial location styles that look good in this town. Both modern styles and classic styles that match local house styles are suitable choices. Your biggest factor will likely need to be versatility.

Retail Space

Retail spaces that are versatile enough to allow for expansion are always desirable. If you include a pad site on the property with a drive-up or drive-through, you'll attract a greater range of interested parties. The more accessible your retail space is to Main Street and other high-traffic areas, the greater the interest renters will show in it.

Constructing a retail space with multiple uses will make it easier to attract willing renters or a buyer. Many retail buildings are also good places to house restaurants or even smaller medical and dental offices. Constructing a building to allow for upstairs living quarters for an owner or manager is another idea that will help increase the interest in your building.

There are many opportunities you can take full advantage of when purchasing a property to develop, and each of these is likely to be a wise choice.
