In today’s world, everything is made the same, from technology to cars to food. Everything is put on a conveyer belt, assembled the exact same way, and shipped off to the masses. It is rare to have something that is truly unique. That is why a custom home is so exciting. You have the opportunity to make something that is only yours. No one else will have the same home, it is genuinely exclusive to you!

Customization is key. The range of products that you can choose from is almost limitless. You get to choose the layout of the home, special features to set it apart, and even the specific material that is used. Everything is up to you. You can pick the most up-to-date technology that can make your home stand out in the modern era and make life much easier and more fun. Green building or sustainable building is also important to make sure that you can do your part in saving the world (as well as your wallet).

Found that amazing neighborhood close to a park or the school? Want to be close to your workplace or family? Great! You have the freedom make sure you are in the perfect location. Part of a custom home is placing it exactly where you want to be. Location is almost as important as the home itself. The location that you select will insure that your home really is ‘home sweet home’.

Are you looking to move? If you want to build a new home in Cache, Weber, or Davis county, Mt Sterling Custom Homes is here to help make the design and construction process a breeze. Once your custom home is complete however, the next step is up to you. While a new home is exciting, moving usually isn’t as much fun. With these simple tips, we’ll help making moving seem less daunting, and more like a new beginning.

Pack an overnight bag

While moving is the big project, unpacking takes some time as well. By keeping a change of clothes and other daily necessities in a separate suitcase you’ll feel less rushed about moving in and unpacking all in one day.

Make essentials easy to access

Pack items such as towels, a box cutter, a few basic utensils, phone chargers, etc. in a clear plastic bin. This will help set this tub apart from the rest of your boxes and will help you easily find the items you’ll first need as you begin to unpack and spend your first night in your new home.

Mark boxes by rooms; use a color coding system

Rather than simply labeling each box with it’s contents, write the room it will be going to in your new home. For an even easier system, mark different rooms (bedrooms, living room, kitchen, etc.) with different colored tape on each box. Make sure to label boxes both on the top and on the sides, so you can know what’s inside while they’re stacked.

Number your boxes

Number your boxes and keep a list of what box is inside each one. This way, instead of looking through each ‘kitchen’ box for a cup, you’ll simply have to find box number 24. This is also a good way to make sure no boxes go missing during the move.

Take time for yourself

While moving can be hectic, don’t forget to take care of yourself throughout the process. It can feel easy to feel overwhelmed and forget to eat or get enough sleep. Make sure to get enough rest each night, and treat yourself to a celebratory meal. After all, you’ve finally moved into your amazing new home!

Benefits of Living in a Neighborhood Community

Benefits, Neighborhood Benefits, Home Buyers, Mount Sterling Custom Homes, Neighborhood Community, Parks

The number one thing that people worry about when they are looking to buy a home is the location. The location of a home has more to do with its value than any other thing that a home has to offer. You can build a home to have all of the upgrades that you want, but when it is not in the location you want, it is never going to be the perfect home.

There are plenty of home buyers that are looking to live in a great neighborhood community. They want to be able to know their neighbors and to enjoy all of the benefits that these types of communities can offer. There are plenty of builders that are creating the planned neighborhoods that people are looking for. There are certain things you can expect from these communities.

Nice Amenities

The communities want to make sure that everyone’s home looks nice to anyone that is driving through. They offer services such as mowing of lawns and snow removal. The idea is to keep the neighborhood looking nice for everyone.

Parks are another important consideration in these communities. They provide families and individuals with a place to go and to enjoy the outdoors in. Bike trails, walking paths and playgrounds are features that the parks might offer to the residents of a community. It is also popular to join a community pool that is in the neighborhood.

The pools and parks will offer activities for children such as team sports. It is a great way for people to come together to cheer on their friends and neighbors that are competing. The best neighborhood communities will make the effort to keep everyone entertained regardless of their age.

Who Creates All of These Things

A developer might plan a park and they might build a community pool, but it is the people in the neighborhood who keep it running. Boards are created to help keep the neighborhood looking the way that everyone wants. They can deal with homeowners that are not keeping up their home or are in some way disturbing the neighborhood.

The homeowners association for a neighborhood will control all of the amenities that are offered. They will determine how much each homeowner has to pay because of all of the benefits that the community offers. Nothing in a neighborhood is really free. Every homeowner has to pay their fair share so that all can benefit from what is offered.
