Alvarez Construction is set to begin building in Afton Oaks Townhomes. This modern community, located near the Zachary Walmart and the new ZPD headquarters, will offer 65 homesites, featuring a mix of 4-, 5-, and 6-unit townhome buildings.

The development caters to various needs with two main layouts. End units provide 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on a single level, while interior units offer two-story living with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and an upstairs master suite. All homes come equipped with a rear-loading one-car garage, maintaining an attractive streetscape.

Afton Oaks emphasizes modern living with features like durable vinyl flooring, tile in wet areas, and granite countertops. The development stands out with its focus on smart home technology, including WiFi-enabled home management systems, security features, and camera doorbells.

With starting prices under $250K, these townhomes offer buyers all the modern amenities of a new construction home at a price point under the median sales price of a house in Zachary. Townhomes also offer a fabulous investment opportunity. By purchasing two adjacent units, buyers can create a unique living and investment situation.

You could occupy one unit as your primary residence while renting out the other, potentially offsetting a significant portion of your mortgage costs. This "house hacking" approach allows you to build equity in two properties simultaneously, with the rental income helping to cover expenses. It's a strategy that can be particularly attractive to first-time homebuyers or those looking to expand their real estate portfolio in a manageable way.
Regardless of your home ownership needs, Afton Oaks Townhomes will be a welcome addition to the Zachary housing market. We can't wait to see them!
