Concord, Salem open in Providence

Meritage Homes' Northern Terrace has opened two villages, Concord and Salem, in Providence, a northwestern master-planned community.

"Families are so excited when they see our prices and floor plans," sales agent Marianne Love said. "Buyers tell us they can picture their kids playing video games in the lofts or great rooms and enjoying the warm weather in the backyards. Newlyweds and young professionals tour our model homes and see their futures ahead of them."

Love pointed out the Jack-and-Jill-style baths that connect secondary bedrooms in several floor plans at both villages.

"Our bedrooms are just the right size for children, and even more livable with the connecting bathrooms found in many plans. Buyers want beautiful homes with lots of functionality. It's what makes Concord and Salem so popular," she said.

Priced from the mid-$200,000s, Concord offers four two-story floor plans, ranging 1,320 to 1,652 square feet. Homes have as many as four bedrooms and three baths. Every layout includes a two-car attached garage.

A front porch is included in The Dickens and The Emerson floor plans. The Whitman design has a first-floor bedroom. Some plans allow for a den, covered patio, dining room expansion, loft, bonus room, master retreat or media expansion at the living room.

Salem also offers four two-story floor plans. Layouts measure 1,615 to 2,027 square feet. Structural variations allow home buyers to customize layouts.

Buyers can opt for a loft, covered patio, bonus room, den and master retreat with exercise room in select floor plans. Prices start in the low $300,000s.

Starting this summer, residents will have use of The Club at Northern Terrace.

The fully staffed recreation center will feature a state-of-the-art fitness center, three outdoor swimming pools and a spa with shade canopies.

Other highlights will include indoor and outdoor play centers for children, barbecue patio, entertainment great room and full kitchen.
