The Adams was located in School District 20 near employment, shopping, parks and hospitals minimizing commuting costs and travel time.  Compact design standards and front porches work together to establish a walkable, traditional neighborhood and interactive community.

About the Interior Design

Our vision in decorating The Adams was to have a productive, practical and cost effective environment for living to include both work and play.  The open design is perfect for entertaining, while the construction and furnishings are sure to stand up to the challenges of a growing family.  The Adams featured three bedrooms on the second floor, a bonus for affordable housing.  The third bedroom can be used as a studio or den for smaller families.
