A little over a month ago, I wrote about the ongoing construction of a new housing subdivision along Grandin Road Ext named Maple Leaf Farms. As part of the Update 30, it’s time to check out the progress on this project.

According to a sign at the construction site (info also found at a realtor’s website) the homes are being called “Architectural Designs In The Tradition Of South Roanoke” and overall there are approximately 25 open lots available.

One house is nearing completion and now the foundation for a second is also present. The first house that’s already taken shape is directly off Grandin Road Ext, and on the immediate right along the new, unpaved Maple Leaf Drive.

A large cul-de-sac (seen to the left in the above photo) is part of what is to be Maple Leaf Court. A house listed online appears to be the second home being built at the entire site and the first on this road, stated as 4401 Maple Leaf Court and carrying a price tag of $699,000. For now, the listing is only a drawing of what the house is expected to resemble.

There is also a second gravel road at the end of, and forming the top of a “T” with, Maple Leaf Drive. This new road will be called Greenlace Circle and upon completion will offer no outlets or connections with existing roads on either end.

This development will continue to be on the Update 30 list. This means I’ll be posting updates at least monthly, or as often as necessary to keep up with notable changes I see.
