Wouldn't it be fantastic for you and your family to live in one of the very best inexpensive suburbs in America?Nicely, you might be there if you lived in Atoka, Tenn., simply because Bloomberg Businessweek magazine recently rated Atoka as one of the very best Inexpensive Suburbs in America after evaluating the town on a number of factors such as its impressive schools, minimal living expenses, a low crime rate and an easy commute to nearby Millington, Covington and Memphis.
"The individuals who move up here completely adore it," said builder Tony Terhune about living in Atoka where his company, Apex House Builders, has been busy building high quality houses for households eager to live the good life offered in Atoka. "They adore the high quality schools, low property taxes, our Apex-built houses, and also the location that provides you a small city, hometown feeling even though big-city amenities are near by."
Those same people are the ones who've purchased a new home from Apex Home Builders in the growing Templeton Farms neighborhood exactly where eight family-size houses are presently available with prices starting in the minimal 200K range.
"Yes, we have a model home available for viewing, but our model home isn't like the ones constructed by other builders," Terhune mentioned. "Our model house is constructed just like all of our standard homes -- with all with the amenities included."
Some of those facilities that come regular in an Apex-built house consist of a large landscaped lot, a whirlpool tub along with a walk-in shower with tile surrounds within the natural stone-floored master suite, carpeted bedrooms and nail-down hardwood floors in the dining space, residing space and study, customized crown moldings and nine-foot ceilings downstairs, a low-maintenance brick-and-stone French Nation exterior, and an impressive entry and foyer.
And Apex puts the emphasis on inexpensive family living with its big gathering area highlighted with a spacious hearth room and gourmet-type kitchen packed with features like granite countertops, custom-built cabinets, double customized sinks, a 36-inch, five-burner gas cooktop with pot filler, Whirlpool appliances and tumbled marble backsplashes.
"When you purchase an Apex-built house, it is as near to building a custom home as you are able to get," Terhune points out. "Most households who purchase from us feel like they have purchased a custom house, but at a turnkey cost."
And having a quality-built Apex Home in Templeton Farms, you are able to have your option of a one- or two-story residence with two-and-one-half or three bathrooms, three or four bedrooms, and with residing spaces ranging from 2,000 to 3,500 square feet.
