Our Townhouse on the MLS
Our townhouse really served us well for the past 4 years. The neighbors and the community features were great for us. During the hurricanes of '04, the structure stood strong, and the builder, Ashton Woods, was quick to inspect the home post-hurricanes for any type of damage.
