Today, builders are using the latest in technology and materials, and building attached homes to the same standards of $500,000 homes," he says. "Our attached homes come with design features that are virtually identical to our single-family homes – Delta-wrapped foundations, painted ceilings, nine-foot ceilings, oversized windows and cabinets, and 40-ounce carpeting with a 15-year warranty." Hilton Homes' Spencer Curtis says builders want to provide the experience of living in a single- detached home at a lower price point. "They're all about not only providing a new level of affordability for consumers, but quality, as well," he says. "Side-by-side single-family homes are now in great communities across the city. Not only that, but layouts have been designed to maximize space to give the homes incredible livability. It's then up to the buyer to decide what level of finishing quality they want to go with." Whatever finishing level they choose, buyers will be getting a superb home, says Smith. "Even with standard finishes, the homes are sharp looking. If you're able to spend a bit more, you can choose from options such as fireplaces with entertainment units, high-end laminate flooring, islands with extended bar tops and granite or quartz countertops," he says. "The important thing is that we can deck out a home that suits a buyer's needs and budget. Either way, you're getting a home with features such as a garage, second-floor laundry, a basement and a yard. These are thoroughly appointed, modern, up-to-date homes."
