When you buy a Drees townhome, you’re building equity 

In today’s housing market, buying a Drees townhome or condo could be financially beneficial because homeowners can build equity that is not possible when renting. Building equity means increasing the financial stake over time, which is possible by paying down your mortgage and buying a home that becomes worth more than what you purchased it for. The value of a home tends to increase over time, so homeowners can earn appreciation on the entire value of the home, not just what they put down on the purchase.

When you choose to buy a Drees home, financing is easy with Drees’ in-house lender, First Equity Mortgage. As part of the Drees family of homebuilding companies, First Equity has the unique ability to work directly with your Drees Builder to coordinate your approval and closing with no unexpected surprises or delays. With a fixed-rate mortgage, your principal and interest payments generally remain the same. Rent can increase when leases renew, making future costs less predictable. 

Cultivate a comfortable lifestyle 

Buying a Drees home versus renting gives you more options when it comes to choosing a community, amenities and customization that includes modern finishes. Our in-house architecture team continually refines our floor plans to reflect how people want to live today. When you own a Drees home, you have the freedom to personalize as you please. Paint, renovate and customize to suit your needs, all without landlord approval. 

Every new construction condo and townhome includes thoughtful features like abundant natural light, smart storage and a private one- to two-car garage, along with soaring ceilings and outdoor living spaces that create an open, elevated feel. 

Drees townhomes are built with safety and comfort in mind 

Through strategic design and quality construction, Drees addresses the three noises attached-home buyers worry the most about—sound through the walls, sound from above/below (condos) and outside noises—using upgraded assembly techniques and floor plan layouts that separate bedrooms from entertaining spaces. We employ double-stud walls with layered gypsum board to reduce sound between homes. Added floor layers, extended insulation and thoughtful layouts also help limit vibration and footstep noise, while reducing hard-surface flooring upstairs keeps things quieter overall.

Designed for added confidence, our townhomes and condos feature structurally independent construction with a continuous fire separation wall spanning the foundation to the roof, helping prevent possible fire from spreading between homes. We go a step further with fire-retardant roof sheathing that extends four feet on either side of the separation line, exceeding typical multifamily building standards.

For many people, a home is not just a place to live, it is also the largest financial investment a person will make. The Drees team is here to help make the process easy and enjoyable. Our modern collection of townhomes and condos start from the high $200s to luxury designs in the $800s. Pricing and offerings vary by community.
