William Lyon Homes' Ivy Neighborhood Was Well Worth The Wait For Homebuyers

Nov. 12, 2009 - PRLog -- For Robert Abijay, Firefighter/Paramedic for the Laguna Beach Fire Department, William Lyon Homes’ Ivy neighborhood was well worth the wait! With a new phase of townhomes available on November 14th at prices starting from the mid $300,000s, it’s time to buy smart and discover why Ivy’s affordability, price and location are fulfilling the dream of home ownership in a desirable Irvine setting.

“It was two years ago when I first heard that William Lyon Homes was going to develop Ivy. I instantly registered my name and knew that this was the chance to own my first home in a location that was within minutes of my work,” explained Robert. “When I discovered that the floorplans were priced right and the affordability factor was enormous, I didn’t want to settle for anything less and immediately stopped looking at other new home neighborhoods. Not only did it give me more time to save, I also had the advantage of getting an incredible value on the Plan C when it was my time to purchase. The layout of this floorplan is all about livability. Offering comfortable living spaces that flow from one room to the next, I really like the openness of the Plan C and look forward to inviting my family and friends over for holiday celebrations. With new stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, wood floors and wall speakers, this floorplan offered me a complete package including the right amount of bedrooms and a corner location for extra privacy,” commented Robert.

Another advantage that Robert saw in purchasing at Ivy was its central location. “I am looking forward to enjoying the quiet village atmosphere and being able to walk to the stores and restaurants at the nearby Towne Center. Being within a quaint family neighborhood with easy access to everyday conveniences gives me the lifestyle that I have been looking for,” continued Robert.

In addition to the affordability of Ivy, Robert also liked what he found out about William Lyon Homes. “I heard that William Lyon Homes offered good quality and craftsmanship and knew that they were an Orange County based homebuilder, which made me feel comfortable buying at Ivy. Knowing they are local was a big selling factor for me,” noted Robert. “My purchase experience was also an A+. From the sales and construction teams to the lender, it has been very positive and rewarding to know that everyone at William Lyon Homes is here to make this process easy and convenient. I am extremely happy on my new home purchase at Ivy and definitely feel that good things come to those who wait,” concluded Robert.
