The past 24 months have been nothing but extraordinary at Ross Bridge, bucking all the national and regional real estate trends.

Ross Bridge was also named winner of the 2010 Best in American Living Awards (BALA) by the National Association of Home Builders’ (NAHB) receiving the platinum award in the category of best community.

In addition to this prestigious new home community award, Ross Bridge’s Dorothy Tayloe won the Silver Award for Best Sales Manager and the Community won the Gold Award for Best Signage and Best Sales Pavilion.

USS Real Estate and Daniel Corporation have thoughtfully developed Ross Bridge with award-winning new home builders helping to create some of the best neighborhoods in the region.  Finally, none of this would be possible without the tireless efforts of all of the on-site sales professionals.  It is through their hard work that 1,000 families now call Ross Bridge home.

This past summer, Ross Bridge opened its second neighborhood park, pool and playground. The new Shades Creek Park & Pool is located in the James Hill neighborhood and convenient to the Haddon neighborhood. Taking it's cue from the spectacular Ross Park & Pool located in the Village Center of Ross Bridge, this new community amenity is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Shades Creek Preserve and features a playground, sun and shade park, pavilion and resort-style pool with separate baby pool.

Earlier this year Ross Bridge introduced its newest neighborhood – Northampton with courtyard designs from the $250's. Featuring a unique eurpoean streetscape, these brand new homes from the regionally acclaimed Signature Homes boast open floor plans and unique designs unavailable anywhere but Ross Bridge. Priced from the $250's to the $400's and ranging from 1,700 sq. ft. to over 3,200 sq. ft. there is surely something for everyone at Northampton.

The success of Ross Bridge is no secret. The combination of a wide variety of home-styles from which to choose, built by the areas finest homebuilders; with a world-class amenity — The Renaissance Ross Bridge Golf Resort & Spa have all translated into a new home community that home buyers recognize as superior to any other in the region.

More than just owning a house, home buyers are looking for that “front porch–friendly” style of living with opportunities to bond with their neighbors. Each distinctive neighborhood within Ross Bridge has its own lush, landscaped park and beautiful tree-lined streets and sidewalks. In all, there are over 200 acres of parks, green spaces, the Shades Creek Preserve, and five miles of trails providing nature enthusiasts, hikers and cyclists avenues to enjoy outdoor activities that help establish a real sense of community.     

The sense of community at Ross Bridge is perhaps its most compelling feature. Throughout the year there’s something exciting going on that brings everyone together.

From the Movies in the park, Fresh Markets on the green and Annual 8K run/Walk to the regionally popular Arts & Music on the green & “Uncorked” on the green, Hometown Fair and Lighting of the green.

With spacious and enchanting single-family homes from the $200's; to exquisite, custom estate homes over $1 million, there's something for everyone at Ross Bridge.

The consistent sales pace at Ross Bridge is counter to everything the buyer is being told throughout the general media. The reality is that there's never been a better time in history to buy a new home.
