Prairie Crossing is a private development set within 89 acres.
Owners will enjoy their own private community center, a 2,000-square foot gathering place that, alone, separates Prairie Crossings from the standard subdivision. Inside the center, residents can watch movies in the mini theater (with 13 theater-style seats and a 120-inch screen), hold parties in the community room, get a workout in the exercise room.
Outside, the center features a small, outdoor waterpark (centered by a pirate ship), a lap pool, hot tub, and a basketball/tennis court that will convert to an ice rink in the winter.
The overall theme is the prairie style home, the home you would think of when you went to your grandma’s, or maybe the home you grew up in.
The houses—which range from 1,400 to 5,000 square feet come in many different styles. The development is open to all custom builders that can create your unique design as long as it conforms to the style of the neighborhood.
We wanted to bring in the home style from Rochester’s past. If you would drive around Rochester and look at the homes in the older parts of downtown that were built in the 1920s or 30s, that’s the same theme that we’re bringing back, just with the modern amenities.
Besides the benefit of the convenience of the Community Center and play area, the owners have an option of maintenance free living.
The new 65th Street has made this area very accessible, yet private.
