It happens over and over
again. People visit Sisters, fall in
love and decide they simply must
find a way to live here.

those people a way to do just that.
The 38 homesites at Grand Peaks
4 located along Camp Polk Road

ture a variety of homes utilizing
cutting edge design and natural,
sustainable materials on the exte-
rior, stylish interiors, and a vari-
ety of amenities at a reasonable
price point for people seeking a
new home.
Jeanmarie Kapp of Renais-
sance Realty Group, and one
of the principal partners in the
development, says that those
seeking homes at Grand Peaks
in Sisters are <a lot of folks who
have already discovered Sisters.=
Some are downsizing, some
are looking for an alternative to
the big city; some are looking
for a place from which to launch
adventures.
<We have people who say they
have a motorhome, so they want
to travel a bit and have a base,=
Kapp said.
Kapp explains how prospec-
tive homebuyers find the right
fit: First they determine when
they want to move in, the desired
size of their new home, and the community to life. Pacific has
been in Central Oregon for over
amount they wish to spend.
<From there, we have a dis- 15 years, developing and building
cussion about the things that a portfolio that includes commer-
are important to you,= Kapp cial and residential construction
said. <Are you a gardener? Do 4 particularly high-end and cus-
you never want to cut a blade of tom homes.
The developers have made an
grass? Sometimes until you have
the discussion, you don9t know extra effort to make the develop-
ment fit into
yourself.=

needs and desires of a community
and developing a concept around
what they find.
<That9s always been our MO
4 to learn what the needs are
in a community,= Kapp said.
<Demographics will take you so
far, then you need on-the-ground
