It is in an award-winning school district and just minutes away from the New Longview restaurants and shops, Longview Lake and other recreational attractions. This new community is sure to become one of the area’s most sought-after neighborhoods for families.

Each home in Kessler Ridge at New Longview will be designed and constructed in the charming tradition of the existing homes in New Longview, with equal attention paid to architectural detail including Craftsman and Prairie-style homes. All will feature high-quality energy-efficient materials, such as blown-in insulation; high-efficiency furnaces; a dry-basement system; and low-E glass windows.

The pre-sale of lots and houses in Kessler Ridge at New Longview will begin Sept. 18. Each home will be built with the homebuyer’s choice of architectural style, interior layout and finishes. Homes are priced starting in the low $300,000s with plenty of daylight and walkout lots available.
