Parks central to Willow Grove

     Willow Grove at Spring Mountain Ranch features a small park that is ideal for strolling, picnicking or simply enjoying the outdoors, according to Michael Cox, director of sales and marketing for Stanpark Homes.
      "The (park) coupled with the large greenbelts create excellent buffers to distinguish our neighborhood," Cox said.
      The park, adjacent to the planned development, is the first of 10 that are planned.
      The neighborhood features four one- and two-story homes with as many as five bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths in 1,314 to 2,106 square feet. Prices start at $113,000.
      Standard features include oak cabinets, dishwashers, gas ovens and ranges.
      Options and upgrades include ceiling fans, spa tubs, mirrored closet doors, granite counter tops, garage door openers, intercom systems and fireplaces.
      "Buyers enjoy customizing their homes to fit their needs," Cox said. "We build the homes, but it is through the buyers' selection of interior and exterior treatments that really makes it theirs."
      Exterior features include raised-panel entry doors, ground-mounted air conditioners and drought-tolerant or turf front-yard landscaping.
      To visit, take U.S. Highway 95 to Durango Drive and follow the signs.
