About Us

Welcome to Waterford at Grapetree!

The latest neighborhood of Waterford on South Hill offers manicured grounds, prestigious homes, a serene setting, and a unique lifestyle and services. Beyond these features, though, Grapetree always will be best known for the exceptional residents who live here.

Scale down in size, step-up in quality home ownership

Tudor styling with brick accents and architectural roofing defines Grapetree neighborhood as the premier gated 55+ community on Spokane’s South Hill. Grapetree is located very close to shopping and medical services yet is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood away from traffic noise. Rock retaining walls between many homes create a distinctive quality to the landscape, while the tree-lined streets promise shady walks in summer and brightly colored leaves in autumn.

Grapetree offers high-quality, brand new homes exactly the size you want to purchase, all in a manicured, gated, and prestigious community. Leave the lawn maintenance to us as yards, common areas, and roads are tended by staff from Waterford on South Hill.

Our homes feature:

• Tile entries, baths, and countertops
• Rounded corners
• High ceilings with architectural appeal
• Hardwood floor in the kitchens
• Attached garages

ClubHouse

Grapetree’s Club House offers a comfortable gathering spot within the community for parties, games, potlucks, exercise, conversation and more.

Gated community

Residents can feel comfortable leaving on extended travels knowing their neighborhood is gated and checked by Waterford personnel periodically.

The 55+ concept

A neighborhood takes on new meaning and enjoyment when successful people are able to share interests, values and friendship.

The Builder

We are excited to announce that our builder is Lexington Homes, Inc. Dave Nerren and Brian Jones started Lexington Homes in Spokane in 1998 and are now building 50 to 60 homes per year from mid-level production homes to fully customized million-dollar homes.

Lexington provides quality workmanship and materials and takes a hands-on approach during each step in the construction process. The public and the building industry recognized Lexington Homes Inc. during the 1999 Home Show when it was awarded First Place in every category—a crowning achievement of excellence that had never been accomplished by any builder.

Please visit their Web site for more information.

Priority reservation numbers

The $1,000 Priority Reservation Deposit is the first step toward living in this outstanding neighborhood. This fully refundable deposit allows prospective buyers the opportunity to meet with the builder to discuss a custom-built home.

The homes

In addition to Grapetree’s standard house plans, buyers are offered an array of custom options and a broad variety of floor plan and design changes. One-hundred-percent custom-designed homes are also an option (subject to architectural review). Homes generally take six to eight months to build.

How to finance the home construction

Most buyers intend on using the proceeds from the sale of their current home to help fund their Grapetree home purchase. Since most of our customers either own their homes free and clear or have a large equity, we can provide assistance in locating optimal financing options. A bridge loan or equity line of credit against the current home can be obtained to make payments during the construction process. Another option is an all-in-one construction loan or regular mortgage loan.

Pathway to future services

Residents live independently in their homes at Grapetree as long as possible with Waterford on South Hill services available on an “a-la-carte” basis. If at some point more permanent assistance is necessary, Grapetree residents have priority, should they choose to move to Waterford on South Hill’s main building (a few blocks away).
