Houston, TX (January 28, 2009)... Carmel Builders has unveiled its latest townhome models in Covington Park. Situated in a secluded enclave within the 610 Loop, Covington Park offers a great location with easy access to exercise trails, shopping, night-life and restaurants in the nearby Houston Heights.

Prospective homeowners have their choice of exciting floor plans ranging in size from 1800 to over 2200 square feet with pricing from the low $300s.

"We’ve been very pleased with the interest of prospective homebuyers since the opening of the model homes. Our limited time grand opening pricing has been instrumental in encouraging new home shoppers to take advantage of the opportunity," according to Paul Blackburn, Carmel Builders Division President.

Each three-story home features Craftsman-inspired architecture with Hardie siding exteriors and attractive outdoor balconies. Carriage style garage doors and a handsome exterior color palette create an inviting streetscape.
