Just on the heels of our last post comes  a DC Urbanturf blog post on the grand opening of the Townes at Hampshire this Saturday, July 27, 12:00 pm to 2:30 pm.  The Hampshires is a new housing community by the Comstock development team, located at 6000 New Hampshire Avenue NE in Riggs Park.  The community features 38 detached single family homes and 73 townhomes.  According to the blog post, over half of the detached homes (priced from $679,000) have sold.  The townhomes start at $499,000.  The community is about one mile north of Fort Totten metro station and one mile south of Takoma metro station.  Ward 4 Councilmember Muriel Bowser will be on hand to cut the ribbon.  There will be a catered lunch and plenty of family activities.
