How to Compare Value in a Townhome

The value of a townhome involves more than the price per square foot. Using price per square foot as a measure of value considers only one element among many factors that determine long-term value.

At Main Street Residences, Courtland Homes is creating an upscale townhome community of enduring value in the heart of Fairfax City. We chose our site and designed our homes with enduring value in mind. Value begins with location: a better location creates a higher land value. Does the location provide a higher quality of life? Are amenities, necessities, major roadways, and public transit easily accessible? Fairfax City has been listed among the top 25 places to live in the U.S. in terms of quality of life on multiple lists over the past several years.

Consider the value of the community, beginning with design and the exterior architecture. The architecture of Main Street Residences extends beyond the beauty of each home to the details throughout the community; this contributes to the overall ambiance. The architecture of the community is as important as the architecture of the homes. We use brick with soldier courses and hand–cut fieldstone for the exteriors of our homes, and we also extend brick to the motor courts and street crossings. While our tall slender windows, paneled box bays with metal roofs, and even our tastefully designed garage doors enrich the look of each home, the Victorian mailboxes, ornamental streetlights, and abundant landscaping further highlight the community aesthetic.

The interior architecture more than lives up to the expectations set by the exteriors. A combination of square footage, cubic footage, light, features, details, and a variety of imaginative layouts create an uplifting experience as well as a thoughtful use of space.

One of the finest testaments to our value is receiving the home building industry’s highest award in the Washington, D.C. Area – the Great American Living Award for "Home of the Year." Main Street Residences is the finest new townhome in the Washington Metropolitan area in terms of design, quality and value.
