New West Linn Neighborhood Schedules Grand Opening

Builders at the $22.5 million The Ridge just off Summit in West Linn have scheduled a grand opening for the 27-home neighborhood Jan. 20-21, according to Kathy Whitman, Broker with Renaissance Homes, who is co-ordinating sales activities for the seven builders involved in the project.

“We wanted to wait until we had enough homes finished or pretty close to finished to begin a concentrated sales efforts,” said Whitman, who is working with other brokers in the area on what she describes as “this very upscale neighborhood which has been carved out of a hillside above the Willamette river in a mature neighborhood of other fine homes.”

Currently 12 homes have been completed and each of the five builders’ work is represented so “people can really get a good idea of the breadth that’s represented here,” Whitman said.

Homes at The Ridge run from 3,366-square feet to 4,339 square feet with four bedrooms and 3.5 baths. Prices currently range from $729,000 to $1.059 million.

“People are going to love the peace and quite of this neighborhood. There is no through street. The only traffic here is coming to this neighborhood,” Whitman said.

Renaissance Homes President Randy Sebastian assembled the parcel a couple years ago but decided to sell lots to a selected handful of other builders because he was able to get a larger parcel nearby which has become Rosemont Pointe.
“We wanted builders who would compliment our upscale finishing touches,” said Sebastian, who kept four homes for his firm at The Ridge.

Other builders include Olsen Homes, Lee Land Homes, Blackstone development, Hymark Homes, Scott Haskins, and Homes of Europe.
