Renaissance Homes Open Neighborhood on Top of Prune Hill

Renaissance Homes has opened its second Southwest Washington residential neighborhood, the $17 million, 21-lot Renaissance Summit on one of the last remaining view parcels on Prune Hill.

Homes in Renaissance Summit currently run from 2,887 square feet with three bedrooms and 2.5 baths to 4,573 square feet five bedrooms and 4.5 baths. All homes feature three car garages and five premium lots are being held back for new designs currently being developed.

Base prices range from $667,000 to $997,900.

“This is one of the most spectacular sites we’ve ever had. It’s at the top of Prune Hill, has some flat lots and contains a 3.65-acre lake. There are a lot of nice properties on Prune Hill, but with the lake and the views, I think you can say that the best was saved for last,” said Randy Sebastian, Renaissance Homes president.

A 4,573-square-foot Avalon Northwest model was opened on the property in mid-March.

Of the 15 homes currently being marketed, nine had been sold by the time the model was opened leading company officials to predict the remainder will be sold out within six months.

Renaissance Sales and Marketing Vice President Kim Whitman described the early buyers as “an interesting mix geographically with four from Portland, two from Camas and three from out of state, executives and professionals who are working in Washington.”

More information on Renaissance Summit is available from Katrin Crum or Christine Woffard at 360-833-9520 or by e-mailing RenSummit@renaissance-homes.com.

Garden Isle Estates on Salmon Creek was the first Renaissance Vancouver neighborhood on Salmon Creek Ave. at NE 128th . Three homes remain unsold there. The firm expects to announce sales opening over the next few weeks at two more neighborhoods north of Garden Isle Estates on NE 29th Ave. Reservations are currently being taken for the 21-home Salmon Creek at Renaissance Summit and the 16-lot Renaissance Meadow is expected to be open for sales by June.

They are some of up to 800 homes Renaissance expects to build in Vancouver and Camas over the next two years.

Renaissance Homes is the only metropolitan area builder its size to embrace “green” building in all its homes. All Renaissance homes are built to its “Living Green” specifications, which means homes must meet and exceed the Earth Advantage green building program. Living Green includes the Rainscreen siding system, which allows the home to “breathe”, preventing mold-causing moisture build-up.

Besides Vancouver, Renaissance has neighborhoods underway in Sherwood, Happy Valley, Wilsonville, Beaverton, West Linn, northwest Portland and recently announced plans to build around 300 homes in Bend in Central Oregon.
