This past Saturday, EYA unveiled its all-new architectural style at Arts District Hyattsville, and opened the final phase of townhome sales in the award-winning neighborhood that the company launched several years ago.
With just 61 available homesites, demand is higher than even we could have expected. Prospective buyers were told that sales would begin Sunday morning at 11 AM, on a first-come, first-serve basis. We arrived to find 10 eager buyers camping in line to be among the first purchasers of the new EYA homes.
It wasn't long ago that this was the norm for new construction. In fact, we have seen lines at the grand opening of many of our neighborhoods. But ten buyers in line well exceeded our expectations.
"It's no wonder," said Preston Innerst, Vice President of Sales & Marketing. "There is very little new construction available in urban locations such as Arts District Hyattsville. The contemporary architecture, energy efficient construction, and onsite amenities make it a very desirable place to live at a very desirable price point."
Add to that historically low interest rates and pent up demand that emerged during the housing downturn and "camping out for homes" may just well be the new norm. EYA will build the final 61 townhomes at Arts District Hyattsville, with the first move-ins planned for this October. The neighborhood's amenities and retail shops are completed and open.

Last month, EYA celebrated the opening of it's 50th new neighborhood in the greater DC area. Four of these new communities opened within the last year, and two more are coming soon in 2024. EYA's Senior Director of Marketing, Ananth Rao, recently shared his reflections on what it means to be a part of a community opening—how EYA team members come together with a sense of commitment and camaraderie, and how special it is to see future neighbors forging friendships as they camp out overnight to be among the first to buy a home in the new community. Hear what he had to say below.
