There are just three model homes from which to choose, the Patriot, the Piedmont and the Prestige, and each one is a duplex or a fourplex.  The small number of models, though, does not seriously limit the number of floor plans that the builders offer, as each model can be customized in a variety of ways.  For example, each model may have either two bedrooms or three bedrooms plus an extra room (a sunroom in some models) and either a one or two car garage.  Sizes range from 1,400 sq. ft. to 1,700 sq. ft., and prices for the Patriot model (one story) start at $224,900.  Prices for the Piedmont (one story) also start at $224,900, and prices for the Prestige (two stories) start at $299,900.  Call (302) 854-9060 for more information or visit www.cinderberry.com.    Re-sales, with prices starting in the high-$100,000s, are also available through private Realtors.  

Standard features on all homes include marble bath countertops, air conditioning, wall to wall carpeting, all Kenmore appliances, a tankless gas hot water heater and a soaking tub.  Exteriors are vinyl siding, and each home has a screened-in concrete patio and a professionally landscape yard.  HOA fees vary per house but average roughly $2,500 per year and include lawn maintenance, water, sewer, cable, Internet, homeowner's insurance, a yearly siding power washing and access to the amenities, which include a community center with an indoor swimming pool, a library, an exercise center and a billiards room.   The community has a neighborly atmosphere and while it does not have an activities director on staff, the residents are active in a number of clubs and events and organize them themselves.

The Village of Cinderberry's developer is Circle J, a company that has implemented "green standards" into their building methods.   These include using advanced framing techniques to reduce lumber, incorporating upgraded flooring, lighting, appliances, and plumbing fixtures that exceed “builder grade” and using low VOC paints that do not emit significant pollutants and are virtually odor free.  All of these efforts, and others, add to the value of the homes at The Village of Cinderberry.

The local climate is temperate and humid, with the normal daily mean temperature roughly 54°F, ranging from 31°F in January to 76°F  in July.   The average annual precipitation is about 42 inches, 21 inches of which are snowfall.   The sun shines 204 days of the year.
