More Than Just Storage: Basements Give Residents a Variety of Options at The Pointe at Turnbury

“We’re responding to an overwhelming market need,” said Lisa Macchi, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Millennium Homes. “We have had numerous homebuyers come in who are specifically looking for homes with basements. So the decision to open a phase that includes basements reflects this growing demand from homebuyers for more storage space and more living space.”
