Carey Chapel Crossing
Carey Chapel Crossing is
an affordable housing subdivision located at the intersection of
Carey Chapel Road and Vicksboro Road. First Home Builders, Inc. is
the lead member of a team of developers that are responsible for
site design, construction, and sales of the 150 lot subdivision.

Franklin-Vance-Warren
Opportunity, Inc. and the Tar Heel Regional Community Development
Corporation are also partners providing sales, technical assistance,
and down payment assistance, in some cases, for those clients that
qualify.

The subdivision is next
the Aycock Elementary School and the city recreation complex which
includes five baseball fields, soccer fields, tennis courts, indoor
gymnasium facilities with basketball courts, weight-training,
meeting rooms, showers and lockers, and an indoor swimming pool. The
recreation complex has minimal membership charges that are
affordable to most Vance County residents.

Houses generally range
from 1000 to 1400 square feet of heated space. All are built to
satisfy an energy standard set by Advanced Energy, a Non-profit
corporation that helps utility, industrial and residential customers
improve the return on their energy investment. Its SystemVision
program is proven to save at least 15 percent more in energy use and
costs than standard code-built homes.

Each home has a paved
driveway with parking for two vehicles and is landscaped with plants
that do well in this climate area. Homes are built within about
90-100 days and ready for occupancy within that timeframe. Homes are
inspected by the Vance County Code Enforcement Department and
SystemVision personnel. Heating and cooling bills are guaranteed for
two years.
