What Types of Properties Could You Develop Here?

There are many older homes in this town. However, requirements for bigger home lots offer a lot of exciting possibilities, especially with the high median price of over $900,000 that many sellers are getting. As a much smaller town, there is also a greater possibility for building office or retail space for companies to better serve local needs.

Homes

House lots here must be a minimum of an acre. Individual wells and septic tanks for each lot are always present. This policy removes the concerns about having access to town water and sewer hookups.

Luxury-style homes are perfect candidates for these large lots because of their open floorplans, and entertaining-related features often found in yard areas. These houses often feature guesthouses. Country living is at its best with these types of home designs.

Custom homes are in many styles ranging from Colonials and ranches to estate-style houses. One of the best things about all of these styles is that it is easy to incorporate the most popular amenities that draw in buyers looking for a house. All are suitable for large floorplans.

Apartment Buildings

Despite this town's size, it is an excellent location for possible apartment complexes because of the size of the lots available. Many apartment shoppers like the convenience of living in a country setting, without having to think about taking care of a large yard. Smaller complexes often meet this need for rural dwellers.

Complexes that offer trails will provide a touch of distinction that is likely to bring in interested renters, especially if they make walking or biking part of their everyday life. Making full use of the space by providing a pond or garden area will help the complex stand out. Anything that gives prospective residents something that is very different from other offerings is likely to be a success.

Commercial Investment Properties

The rural location in this town creates some unique opportunities not found in all other communities in this area. Open farmland offers a lot of possibilities, including apple and other fruit orchards. These are good as commercial enterprises or local attractions, such as farms that include a produce stand or small shop.

Large lots on several acres are also good candidates for equine facilities. Many residents in the area enjoy riding horses but don't own one. A facility that offers riding lessons or allows people to borrow horses to ride will fill a need for people in the area.

Retail Space

Retail spaces that are ideal to use as farmer's markets or in a similar capacity are very suitable for this community. One of the things that such places do is offer a way for local farmers to sell their goods to the general public. Such spaces are of value both to the local community and to visitors, so you don't want to let concerns about a lack of interest dissuade you.

Stores that suit the needs of residents who don't want to shop outside town are also good choices. A building for a convenience store that is big enough even to hold a small grocery area is very beneficial for many who prefer to shop within their neighborhood when possible. Such spaces that would also contain a small restaurant are also good to consider, as many prefer having places to eat just a few minutes from home.

Developing property in a small town has a lot of benefits worth considering, and you'll be on the right track, regardless of your choice.
