also joined the Sisters Arts
Association (SAA) and are
collaborating with them by
featuring artists from local
galleries in their model home
community art room, which
is in one of the upstairs bed-
rooms. Kit Stafford, an advi-
sor to the SAA Board of
Directors, curated the current
exhibit to complement the
interior of the house.
Katy
Wo o d e r s o n ,
Hayden’s representative for
marketing in Central Oregon
communities, met with SAA
Board President Bob Burgess
to work out the details for
this endeavor that is new for
both organizations. Burgess
reported that Hayden plans to
have an open house like last
Wednesday’s every month.
Hayden also will partici-
pate in the Fourth Friday art
strolls, offering refreshments
and featuring the commu-
nity art room. The SAA gal-
lery maps can be found in the
model home. New Home Star
Oregon community manager
for Hayden Homes, Kevin
Hudson, has educated himself
on the SAA and will encour-
age visitors to the model
home to visit art galleries in
Sisters, according to Burgess.
“Hayden has been won-
derful to work with. This col-
laboration ties right into our
organization’s mission,” said
Burgess. “For our 21 gallery
members, this is a fantastic
partnership that highlights the
galleries, and the art associa-
tion. Hayden is a great com-
munity partner for us.”
The 20 homes in the new-
est phase of Village at Cold
Springs include one- and two-
story homes, ranging in size
from 1,408 to 2,578 square
feet, with prices beginning at
$299,990 for the 1,408 single-
story. There are a number of
option packages available that
can add $10,000 to $40,000
to the base price of a home.
Some of the add-ons include
upgraded flooring, upgraded
hard surfaces like quartz
countertops, gas options for
the fireplace and stove top,
and upgraded stainless steel
appliances.
According to Hudson,
Hayden’s target audiences
for VCS are young families
with children and retired
people who are looking to
downsize.
There are currently 13
presold homes, with four
already occupied and four
more almost ready for occu-
pancy. Three of the four occu-
pied homes were purchased
by local Sisters residents.
Other buyers are coming
from Portland and California.
When all the single-family
homes in VCS are built, there
will be about 70 additional
homes, including the current
20.
Simplicity, which is
another branch of Hayden
Homes, is building small
cottages and a number of
townhomes across Railway
Avenue.
Hayden Homes was estab-
lished in Redmond, Oregon in
1989 by Robert Watson and
now has additional offices in
Washington and Idaho, build-
ing mainly in towns located
outside of larger metropolitan
areas. Watson named his com-
pany after his son Hayden,
who went on to become the
CEO of the company.
For every home built and
sold by Hayden Homes, a
percentage of the profits is
donated to the First Story
foundation, which then
selects applicants to receive
an interest-free mortgage
when purchasing a Hayden
home. There are no set quali-
fication requirements. Rather,
each applicant is interviewed
and awards are based on indi-
vidual circumstances and
needs.
Hayden Homes is rep-
resented in Sisters by New
Home Star Oregon, part of
a national realty group that
represents home builders and
developers in niche markets
similar to those in which
Hayden does business.
