Why Kresston Is Poised to Impress
A Vision for Modern, Balanced Living
Kresston isn’t simply a collection of houses — it’s a thoughtfully designed community with districts, parks, and amenities that bring life, leisure, and connectivity to residents.
Some key highlights:
-
Diverse Districts — Each district within Kresston carries its own character. “Heartland” focuses on community and amenity access, while “Stableton” offers more expansive lot options and a more tranquil setting.
-
Phased Growth — The first phase covers about 359 homes on lot sizes from 40 to 65 feet, integrating trails, parks, and open space.
-

This is more than just a new home community — it’s a place designed for connection, activity, and growth.
Homes & Builders: Variety, Quality, and Design
Kresston is inviting a roster of reputable builders to bring the vision to life. Some participating homebuilders include:

The amenity complex is designed to open roughly in tandem with home closings, allowing early residents to dive into community life.
