Buyers who previously missed out on River Gate have another opportunity to purchase a home

There's no arguing with success, and by all possible definitions, the first two phases at River Gate were a success. A convenient, affordable community tucked away off Frye Bridge Road in Clemmons, River Gate has been a popular destination for homebuyers over the past few years, and with the third phase under way, even more folks will have an opportunity to call the neighborhood home.

"There are 40 lots in Phase III and 12 plans," said Prudential Carolinas Realty's Sherri Coram Swain. "We have just sold our first home in this phase, and there are several cul-de-sac lots available."

Homes in River Gate start at $128,900 and go up to more than $168,000. All homes have at least three bedrooms, two baths and a one-car garage, and some homes have four bedrooms or a bonus room and a two-car garage.

"We have one-level, two-level and one and a half-story plans," Coram said. "In all of River Gate, there will be a total of 23 plans, and people can visit www.rivergateinfo.com for more information."

In addition to the low-maintenance homes, River Gate offers buyers the terrific summer amenity of a swimming pool and clubhouse. The development's winding streets are ideal for after-dinner walks, and all of the amenities of Clemmons are nearby, including Thursday night bingo at the local VFW less than five minutes away.

Swain said that buyers who use the preferred lender can possibly receive down-payment assistance. And for young couples or retirees on a tight budget, this assistance can often be the difference between renting and buying.

Low maintenance, diverse floor plans, a community pool and clubhouse, and low interest rates — the reasons are numerous to consider a new home in River Gate. And as the third phase is certain to prove, everything needed is in place to ensure River Gate's continued popularity with buyers.
