Centex Homes'

decision to have two models is based upon consumer research. The company

found that while model homes were helpful in the purchase decision, many

homebuyers wanted to see a model home that had no upgrades and reflected

the actual price of the home. At Monarch Village, Centex addressed these

concerns by having a standard model and an upgraded model.

"The consumer

response to the two models has been terrific," said Ryan-Smith. "They

appreciate being able to see first-hand the standard package, while also

visualizing all the extras."

Centex will

be building 83 homes in Monarch Village priced from the $130s. In addition

to Centex Homes, Monarch Village has a full compliment of builders with

home styles ranging from traditional to turn-of-the-century, priced the

low $100s to over $400,000.

To complement

Monarch's builder team, the community offers resort-style amenities in

an unrivaled setting. Monarch's amenity offerings include a water park

with slide tower and water mushroom, a 16-acre lake with boating and fishing

facilities, a soccer field, basketball courts, a variety of neighborhood

parks and tot lots and miles of walking trails and sidewalks.

In addition,

Monarch offers an advanced technology package including high-speed Internet

access, structured wiring and a custom-built community Intranet. An on-site

elementary school will open at Monarch Village in 2004.
