Purchasing Process

If you are considering building a home in Village Gardens, we recommend that you first determine your budget range and review the home style and lot size options that fit your budget. Click on the associated links for more details on specific Single family or Multi-family housing options. Once you have narrowed your options, we can help you select the right builder, home style, and lot that works for you.

All lots will be sold directly to the Village Gardens Builders but homeowners have the opportunity to select a lot and builder in Village Gardens. To reserve a lot a homeowner must do the following:

First determine the current ownership of the lot:

1. Builder reserved lot: If the lot has the builder’s initials (from the key on the bottom of the Original & 1st Addition map) on the lot, then you should contact that specific builder directly. You can request for a builder to ‘swap’ lots with another Village Gardens builder if you have a specific builder you are interested in using.

2. Unreserved Lot: Any lot that does not have an ‘R’ or a builders initial on the lot is available for reservation. Determine the lot you are interested in and select a builder from the Village Gardens team. Your builder will then help you officially reserve the lot with Village Gardens.

3. Reserved Lot: The lots with an ‘R’, have been previously reserved by another homeowner and are unavailable.

After you have determined which lot and builder you are interested in:

Your builder will help you to determine the architectural style and floor plan of the home you want to build. Your builder will then prepare the necessary documents to review with our Architectural Review Committee.
Your builder will then execute the Lot Reservation and Purchase agreement for your lot which includes a 5% down payment for the lot paid to Village Gardens and $900 earnest money paid to your builder for the architectural review fees. (The $900 would be credited back to you when you build your home with your builder.)
Village Gardens will close on lot (lot price due in full) 30 days after the Lot Purchase Agreement is executed.

Lot purchasers may choose to build a home from the Village Gardens Library of Home Plans with dozens of home styles and numerous floor plan options. Library home plans are available at no cost with the purchase of a lot.

Lot purchasers may also choose to design a custom home. Custom home designs must conform to Village Gardens Architectural Standards and receive the approval of the Architectural Review Board. The review board fee is included in the cost of the lot if a library plan is not chosen.
