The first home has closed in Karis, a 565-acre residential development in Crowley, TX, by The Nehemiah Company.
Alex and Delores Vela are the first homeowners in Karis. It was their first time purchasing a home. “The price of rent was just getting out of control,” Alex said. “We decided to invest in a home rather than pay rent.” They purchased a home by Highland Homes and closed Oct. 30.
“We were the first to sign a contract on a home in Karis, the first to close and the first to move in,” Delores. “Now that we’ve moved, I’m really excited about the resort-style pool, the pickleball courts and the trails — it all looks amazing.”
In addition to Highland Homes, other builders in Karis include Cadence Homes, Chesmar Homes and David Weekley Homes. Each builder has opened a model home.
The builders offer 32 floor plans for townhomes and single-family homes ranging in size from 1,553 to 3,575 square feet. Base pricing is from the $280,000s.
“It’s been a busy year as we’ve brought Karis to market, builders opening model homes and the completion of several community parks that are part of our live-play vision for Karis,” said Robert Kembel, President of The Nehemiah Company, developer of Karis.
