* Name: The Vineyard
* Location: The neighborhood is just south of the Georgia state line on Gentry Road, off Graysville Road. Children may attend Graysville Elementary, a National Award of Excellence school, or Ringgold Middle and High schools. Residents pay only county taxes, and are tied into Catoosa county water and sewer utilities. Georgia homeowners also benefit from lower property and sales taxes, but must pay income tax.
* Status: Twelve units have been completed out of 300 to 350 planned homes, and four houses are move-in ready.
* Price: 1,400- to 2,700-square-foot homes on quarter-acre lots range from $190,000 to $260,000 in price
* Features: The neo-traditional neighborhood is a gated community in the historic Graysville township. Three-bedroom, two-bath homes offer mountain views, flexible floor plans and an unfinished bonus room. Judge’s paneling, 9-foot ceilings and crown molding come standard, and all homes feature hardwood floors and carpet in the bedroom. Exterior walls with siding use James Hardie fireproof cement fiber with a 30-year warranty, with color baked in to reduce fading over time.
* Amenities: All homes are tied into a closed circuit video system linked to the front gate. Fiber optic and electrical lines are buried for unobtrusive high-speed Internet. The neighborhood is defined by its neotraditional character, with large porches, sidewalks on both sides of the street, nature trails and a clubhouse with a pool. Mailboxes and streetlights match the neighborhood theme.
