The new Villas at Crystal Lake community is nearing completion by Holland Construction Services Inc., with residents moving in over the past few months.
Spokesperson for Villas at Crystal Lake Donna Sandheinrich said Holland was very responsive throughout the process and despite weather obstacles, came in on time and on budget.
"We are very pleased with the process and the results," Sandheinrich said. "Any issue that comes along, the Holland team is on top of it immediately. We would absolutely recommend their services and look forward to working with them in the future."
The upscale community offers a range of apartment sizes, all complete with the kind of chic luxury amenities needed for a carefree, enjoyable lifestyle.
The $26 million, three-story building community totals 211,000 square feet. With 216 living units, residents can choose from spacious one-bedroom, two-bedroom with two full baths, and one-bedroom with den configurations. Apartment homes feature all-electric appliances, plank flooring, granite-look countertops and full-size washer and dryer for added convenience. Every apartment home is fiber-optic wired for Internet and cable.
Throughout the property there are 36 fully-enclosed garages each with automatic garage door openers provided. The one-story clubhouse includes a community room with quartz countertops, gas fireplace, state-of-the-art fitness center, and a 24-hour business center. The clubhouse overlooks the resort-style swimming pool, which will be up and running this spring.
All buildings complement each other with exterior finishes in a mix of vinyl siding and masonry with asphalt shingles. The property is aesthetically appealing with open green space, a pond with a decorative fountain and a babbling water feature. Mills Properties, Inc. of St. Louis will manage Villas at Crystal Lake.
The Villas at Crystal Lake is an added enhancement to the Swansea area offering luxury apartment living just minutes from Interstate 64, Scott Air Force Base, shopping and other community services, with flexible lease terms to meet residents' needs.
Architectural services are by EWR Associates, Inc. of Swansea; civil engineering by Berutti & Associates, Inc. of Belleville.
