Waco's Cotton Crossing "The Return of the Neighborhood"

Most people have to drive into a "Historic Neighborhood" to find picket fences, front porches, and sidewalks. Not only are they commonplace in Cotton Crossing, they are mandatory according to the building standards put in place by Mark Felton the developer of the project.

"These are the features that everyone gravitates to in a house. When a magazine is doing an article on something housing related, they don't put your average house in the picture, they find a traditional styled house with character and a big front porch, says Felton."

People want to live in a house that reflects the family that lives inside. They want something with an identity.

Cotton Crossing will be featuring and building smaller houses to cater to the market demand for single story downsized housing in Waco. One of the pioneers of the "smaller house" is the architect and author, Sarah Susanka whose first book, the "Not So Big House" has been through multiple printings and is now considered a must read for anyone wanting to design and build a house on a reduced scale.

"Everyone says they want the big house with every imaginable room and by the time they can afford to build it, their kids move away and go to college and they are left with a wonderful house that they no longer need" says Mark Felton, the developer of Cotton Crossing.

Cotton Crossing The Return of the Neighborhood

Mark Felton has been raising the bar for residential construction. His two companies’, Frontera Development and Front Porch Homes, main project is Cotton Crossing, a development centrally-located on the old Western Oaks Golf Course. Cotton Crossing is one of Waco’s newest master planned communities, classified as a Traditional Neighborhood Development. The entire neighborhood is architecturally controlled and uses historic building styles such as Bungalow, Colonial, French Country and more. Cotton Crossing features garden homes with yards maintained by the homeowner’s association, sidewalks, front porches, lakes and walking trails.

Phase II features single-story houses geared toward baby boomers looking to downsize and lower energy bills without sacrificing the look of their home. With ever-increasing energy costs, many customers are asking about Green Building. Standard features include spray foam insulation, tankless water heaters and insulated double pane windows. These products provide significant savings for customers. “I have a three-bedroom, two-bath house that is near completion that will have an average 12-month energy bill of around $60 per month,” said Felton.

Front Porch Homes and Frontera Development are building in Cotton Crossing, Rancho Lorena and Lost Oaks. Front Porch Homes will also accept custom design/build projects around the Waco area. Visit our blog at frontporchhomes.blogspot.com
