The Homes
The Cove Homes & Architecture
Homes in The Cove are single-family residences built around 2022, with traditional architectural styling and living spaces typically running from roughly 2,950 to 3,300 square feet. Four bedrooms and 3.5 to 4 bathrooms are the norm, and layouts tend to feature open floorplans, a primary suite on the main floor, and in-law-friendly configurations — details that reflect thoughtful new-construction planning rather than retrofitting. Impact windows, built-in features, walk-in and his-and-hers closets, and an eat-in kitchen with pantry are common interior appointments. Price-wise, homes here generally range from the mid-$700s into the low-$900s, and about half the homes available have water frontage. What surprises buyers touring The Cove is how much finish level and lot positioning — corner lots with preserve or water views — vary the experience even within a small, cohesive community.
