Nestled in the quaint little town of Richmond, you’ll find one of Gerstad’s exceptional new home communities – the Trails of Pheasant Ridge. In response to new buyer demands, the McHenry County home builder has made some changes to community by introducing four new floorplans priced from $169,990.

How do these new plans cater to new buyer demands? Well, the current economic climate has people more budget-minded than they used to be. When it comes to purchasing a new home, shoppers are now favoring smaller homes with less wasted space. Not only are these homes more affordable up front, but since they are more energy-efficient than homes with high ceilings and open spaces, they also reduce monthly utility bills.

The four new floorplans at the Trails of Pheasant Ridge range from 1,292 to 2,030 square feet of living space and include both ranch and two-story designs. These value-driven homes are affordably priced from $169,990 to $208,990 and include popular features like open floorplans, walk-in closets, oversized master suites and more.

Yet one of the best things about Pheasant Ridge is that the community caters to a wide variety of home shoppers. Yes, Gerstad has introduced four new value-driven floorplans, but they offer a total of 15 different floorplans in the community, many of which are incredibly spacious with two-story family rooms, vaulted ceilings and about 3,000 square feet of living space.

So whether you are looking to purchase your first home at an exceptional value or are moving up to accommodate your growing family, you will no doubt find exactly what you are looking for in a new home at the Trails of Pheasant Ridge.
