Akeny, Iowa has caught the interest of many in years past; various news stories have attracted media attention, and the city was recognized as one of the top ten towns for families by Family Circle Magazine as recently as 2008. Just last year, it was designated a Playful City USA by the KaBoom! Foundation for the third consecutive year, one of only 22 cities across the U.S. to receive this distinction.

One year after its grand opening, one community of Waterloo homes for sale is getting an interior facelift. The community, Eisenach Village, offered its charter homebuyers the opportunity to upgrade their homes, and most have recently undergone the alterations. What’s new about that? The community offered the opportunity as a complimentary incentive; charter member homebuyers actually received up to $2000 for upgrades! Cabinets, flooring, appliances, and other features in the home were upgraded with the help of the community’s onsite interior specialist.

The builder, Epcon Communities, prides itself on offering buyers the opportunity to personalize their homes. With this offer, Eisenach Village’s six unique floorplans were made even more unique to each resident’s tastes and preferences. The great thing is that buyers nationwide can experience the Epcon Communities lifestyle, as the builder operates homebuilding franchises across the country. As with this community of Waterloo homes for sale, all Epcon Communities neighborhoods features loads of amenities for residents to enjoy: stunning landscaping (some with water features), common areas (such as pools, clubhouses, and fitness centers), and security features (such as attached parking).

To learn if charter homebuying opportunities (and upgrade incentives!) are still available at Eisenach Village, contact the community sales office at (319) 352-1258.
