Take a Bird’s Eye View of Emerald Lake in Fairfield, Ohio
February 27th, 2008 categories: Fairfield, Ohio
For decades Fairfield residents heading west on Resor Rd had to turn right or left when the road dead ended at Pleasant Avenue.
The intersection started to change in May, 2004 when the Welsh Development Company paid $5,025,000 for approximately 27 acres of land and began the transforming the land into the Emerald Lake subdivision.
Along with new homes, we finally got a much needed stop light at the intersection of Resor and Pleasant
Since construction started in 2005, over 50 homeowners have moved into the neighborhood with recorded sales prices ranging from mid $300,000 to over $600,000.
It looked as if the future in Emerald Lake was in question when, in the fall of 2007, the builder Ryan Homes abruptly pulled out of the Cincinnati market leaving both the home owners and the city concerned about the continued development.
Fortunately, (probably due to the price range and location) Fischer Homes stepped in and took over the lots….and they hit the ground running – work has already begun on a model. The subdivision is handled by Sheri Adkins fielding questions via phone until the model home is completed.
Emerald Lake now has two sections -the Platinum Homes with prices starting at $280,000. and the Grand Estates starting at $430,000.
While Fairfield has experienced pockets of new construction, Emerald Lake is the first upscale subdivision to be built close to downtown Fairfield. I wandered around the area and surprised at the elevation and views from the top of Emerald Lake Drive and Edmorr Way. I am not sure if it is as high as our streets in Wildwood- but I enjoyed the bird’s eye view of the surrounding area. 
If you are a long time area resident and are looking to build something new- this may be a good location for you.
Close to downtown Fairfield with quick access to the Community Arts Center, Lane Public Library, Post Office and shopping…maybe the city will consider running a path along Pleasant for the biking/running crowd. In addition to Fischer, there are 3 new homes for sale -left over from the previous builder and a few resales.
