Couples find Allen housing complex supplies all their needs

ALLEN – After raising four children in a large five-bedroom house, Jana and Mike Brosin decided to scale back – way back. Last December, the empty nesters moved into a 1,450-square-foot apartment at the Lofts at Watters Creek, a complex inside Watters Creek at Montgomery Farm.
"It's kind of our mini Manhattan," Jana says from her fifth-floor unit overlooking a meandering man-made waterway and the Blue Fish Japanese restaurant. "The greatest benefit in renting is that you don't even have to change an air filter. There's no lawn, no maintenance."

By Jon Vanderlaan / Star Community Newspaper
June 11, 2009
In addition to shopping and dining, the Village development also will bring the town of Fairview the first street in Texas lit entirely by LED lights.
The lights, named The Fairview Bell Series by Sunovia Energy Technologies after the town, will be placed on Fairview Parkway, a street located directly behind the Village at Fairview.
Ray Dunlap, community development manager for Fairview, said the LED lights are aesthetically pleasing and Sunovia was willing to create a light that helped satisfy the requirements set out by the town's dark sky ordinance.

Collin County foreclosures down over same time last year
PLANO - For the first time in several years, the number of new residential foreclosures is down in Collin County and surrounding areas. The first quarter of 2009 showed an 11.9 decrease in the number of new foreclosures over the same time last year, reports the Collin County Association of Realtors (CCAR). In addition, more than one-fourth of all closed sales in the first quarter were foreclosure listings - up 19 percent from the same time last year.
"If we continue to see a decrease in new foreclosure listings while foreclosure sales are brisk, the market will eventually absorb most of those listings. This is an important component to a return to a more normal market," says Steve Haid, CCAR member services director.
While the decrease in new foreclosures is a positive indicator, the increase in foreclosure sales has contributed to a 4.1 percent drop in the median sales price of homes ($165,000), compared to the first quarter of 2008. During the first quarter of 2009, the median sales price of foreclosure homes was $111,000, and the median sales price of traditional homes was $185,000.
