Youssi Custom Homes of Iowa has announced new pricing structures and floor plan configurations at its Forest Grove Crossing development in Bettendorf, with homes starting in the low $200,000 range specifically designed for first-time buyers entering the Pleasant Valley School District housing market.
The announcement comes as housing affordability remains a primary concern for first-time buyers throughout the Quad Cities region, which includes Davenport, Bettendorf, Rock Island, and Moline. The development now offers condominiums in two configurations - a 1,313 square foot two-bedroom layout and a 1,565 square foot three-bedroom option - alongside 1,446 square foot ranch-style villas with full unfinished basements.
"First-time buyers have faced significant challenges in finding homes within their budget range while still accessing quality school districts," said Shane Youssi of Youssi Custom Homes of Iowa. "Our new pricing structure and floor plan options at Forest Grove Crossing address this gap in the market by providing entry-level pricing without compromising on construction standards."
The Forest Grove Crossing development represents the Iowa expansion of Youssi Real Estate & Development Inc., which has constructed more than 500 condominiums throughout Illinois over 30 years. The company's entry into the Iowa market coincides with increased demand for affordable housing options in areas served by highly-rated school districts.
This article reports on the development's construction specifications, which include Cambria quartz countertops manufactured in Minnesota, custom cabinetry from Alabama, and American-made luxury vinyl plank flooring. All units feature nine-foot ceilings, GE stainless steel appliances, gas fireplaces, and attached two-car garages. The exteriors incorporate craftsman-style elements with cedar brackets and natural stone accents.
The company has implemented digital tools to assist first-time buyers in their home search process. Interactive walkthrough videos on the company website allow potential buyers to view floor plans and finishes remotely. These virtual tours provide detailed views of each layout option available at the development.
The Forest Grove Crossing location sits 1.5 miles west of BettPlex on Forest Grove Road. The Pleasant Valley School District, which serves the area, has received recognition for its academic programs and continues to attract families to the region.
"The transition from renting to homeownership represents a significant milestone for many families," added Youssi. "By structuring our offerings with first-time buyers in mind, we're helping more families achieve that goal within a school district that supports their children's educational needs."
This news article confirms that construction continues at Forest Grove Crossing with both immediate and future phases available for reservation. The development includes energy-efficient features such as 90-plus rated furnaces and heated garages as standard components in all units.
