This testimonial is from our archives, but well worth resurrecting for all those considering the lifestyle of Richmond no maintenance homes. In this 6 minute plus video, we talk to a family who purchased a showcase inventory home in the Villas at Grey Oaks. We discuss the “why?” of how they came to the decision to purchase into this no maintenance lifestyle. Along the path of our conversation you may find a reason to trust Boone Homes with one of the largest purchases of your life.

Each of our no maintenance communities give you the gift of time. Why not enjoy the best life has to offer today? (more…)
Popular Richmond real estate at the Coach Homes of Kinloch
While some builders in the Richmond real estate market may still be struggling, here at Boone Homes we’re happy to report that we’re seeing an increase in sales. In fact, we’ve enjoyed our best start in 4 years, and our new home sales are ahead of where they were last year.
We’re seeing an increase in buyers looking to move to Richmond’s popular West End district, and both our no maintenance and luxury estate homes are getting more visitors.

The Richmond no maintenance homes at Bellingham at Twin Hickory are so popular that the home in this video was sold before we even had a chance to finish taping. Since we cannot keep finished inventory homes in stock in this community, it would be good to tell you the reasons why. Bellingham at Twin Hickory is a no maintenance community where the exterior of each home is meticulously maintained by the Association. All of the yards are cut and irrigated at the same time, homes are painted at the same time, gutters are cleaned at the same time and seasonal yard maintenance is performed at the same time. This allows the community to look pristine each and every time you come home. The benefit of this community maintenance program allows you to lock the property when leave without any care in the world while you enjoy the cruise or weekend getaway. (more…)

Today is production day. Our Richmond neighborhood, Wescott at Grey Oaks, is swarming with people carrying equipment, holding lights, freshening wardrobe, rehearsing lines and catering food. Cars, trucks, vans, and catering trucks line the streets. Amazing smoothies accompanied by Swedish Fish candies, pistachios and feta filled queen olives adorn the snack table while the client and the crew focus, take, cut, start, stop and restart. Cables cross the floor about as many times as the assistant runs to freshen the wardrobe, accent the make-up or tuck the rebellious hair into proper placement.
This commercial is truly a sight to see. The final outcome everyone else will see hardly bears any resemblance to what is organically moving through the new home in Westcott at Grey Oaks. (more…)
Richmond neighborhood preparing for Bassett Furniture television commercial.
Wescott at Grey Oaks is a luxurious Richmond neighborhood designed to accommodate even the most discriminating taste. Every now and again, Boone Homes is selected by national firms to host a television spot to advertise a product or service. Once the location scout has secured the perfect spot for the shoot, preparations begin. As you can see from the photo, the preparations for the commercial shoot are beginning today. The first step is to safely prepare the home’s floors and walls by installing protective material. This protective material will allow the stage crew, the film crew and the actors to freely flow through the home. Every area of the home not being used for the actual commercial will be used to house equipment, furniture, decorations and so much more that will enhance the production of this national commercial. This national television commercial will air throughout the country some time in summer of 2012.
Stage two of this commercial will be when the furniture begins to arrive for the set. Family room furniture, dining room furniture, bedroom furniture along with blinds, decorations and so much more will begin to fill the home and be placed with coordinated effort. All this will be happening while actors are rehearsing their lines, measuring their steps and practicing their facial expressions. (more…)
Recently, I met up with a guy at the local gas station who drove a taxi. I cannot imagine driving 8 to 10 hours a day for a living, yet he does drive 52 weeks a year to support his family. Amazing. Whether you drive 8 hours a day for 52 weeks out of the year, you commute to work from your Richmond new homes or you recreationally enjoy a road trip, we all expend fuel. Emissions. Vehicles have come a long way in technology. Their consumption has exponentially decreased over the last several years, but not enough to remediate smog. Emissions alter the environment.
Richmond new home builder Boone Homes is building homes with Energy Star features. These technological advances in new home construction are all about sustainability and ecology. Last year alone we were able to save the equivalent of 24.3 acres of trees – a small forest capable of sustaining a wild life habitat. Each home is designed to be energy-forest-saving efficient. How much? Well, each home is designed to conserve between 38 and 45 percent of what a similar new home would expend without the same features. Sounds expensive. However, the new home is similarly priced to the home without the Energy Star features. Interesting. There are other benefits, I see many, though I will share only three: (more…)
