Testimonials
We chose October at Fair Downs because it offers an outstanding combination of must haves like convenient location, affordable homes that are virtually maintenance free, and a family oriented neighborhood.
As young professionals, October is appealing because of the flexibility and simplicity of the community. The homes are very well built with many extras. October gives first time homeowners the opportunity to have a very nice and affordable home. We looked at homes in three different cities, but everything that was nice was not affordable and everything that was affordable was a fixer-upper. October has given us the opportunity to own a nice brand new home that we can raise our beautiful daughter in.
My husband and I were very fortunate to find October. We love the community and staff. Hopefully you too can find your home in October.

Why now? Well, I picked this time because personally it was a good time and because with the economy at almost rock bottom, the only place it could go is up. Rates are at the lowest point in decades and the prices of houses have been dropping like crazy. But, common sense will tell you that they will only drop so far. In this area, they are never going to give them away. But, for what you are getting, October is pretty close.
Why October? Even though I am in the military and it does make my ride to work a little longer, the pros far outweigh the cons. The location is great because there is almost never traffic and there is a downtown area about 5 minutes away. The townhouses offer all appliances which was a big factor for me because I didn't want to take on a new mortgage and large bills for new appliances. The warranties that are offered with both the home and the appliances are great. The staff has always been extremely eager to help and has always followed through with their word. Would I recommend this place to others? I already have. I would tell all my friends about it but I don't want them to live that close. LOL.

Lawson Homes has exceeded our expectations in creating quality, all brick town homes – The Soundings in Harbor View. A great location that is convenient to the Peninsula as well as Norfolk and other areas of South Hampton Roads makes The Soundings an ideal choice for us.
We have enjoyed living in our beautiful home for just over two years. We love the peaceful marsh and water views on the 5th green of the Riverfront Golf Course. Great neighbors can be found here also.
Thanks to Lawson Homes for their cooperative spirit in making our experience with our home an enjoyable one.

A house is not a home, unless, however, it is a Lawson Home. Six years ago, just two days after having closed on a new house built by another builder, I made a wrong turn into another new subdivision in the Harbourview community of Suffolk. The newly designed, aristocratic, yet nonpretentious homes by Lawson Homes, and the Harbourview community made me feel like I was already home. Eleven months later, I had sold my new house, and had contracted with Lawson to build my new dream home.
Lawson immediately went to work for me. From site selection, selection of a particular design to meet my needs, to the assistance of selecting flooring, paints, cabinets, appliances, etc., Lawson paid attention to what worked best for me, and for my circumstances. Lawson’s performance met my high expectations for excellent quality, high architectural standards, attention to details, and livability.
To outsiders, Lawson Homes built me the perfect dwelling place but to me, to my family, and to my guests, Lawson Homes built me the perfect home…structurally sound, yet warm, comfortable and inviting.

We love our all brick town home. It has the feel of a single family home but the low upkeep of a town home.
A plus of living in Soundings is the Harbourview medical center, just a stone’s throw away. Staying active is important to us and with the golf course nearby and area for riding bikes and walking makes it all possible and very convenient. Since we are retired all these things are really important to us and we are really enjoying our home and life at Soundings On The Nansemond.

We want to thank you for your expert assistance in our purchase of 2004 Soundings Crescent Ct. in the Soundings Luxury Townhouse development.
We are extremely pleased with the workmanship inside and outside of our townhouse and the location is perfect. We are completely surrounded by expensive single-family homes, a championship golf course, deep water, and Federal wetland. All this and only five minutes from Interstate 664 and ten minutes from Chesapeake Square Mall.
I think that we stumbled upon a diamond-in-the-rough…and we are loving it! Have a wonderful and prosperous 2007.

We found the home we've been looking for with Lawson Homes after
searching every day for 10 months. We've met with 5 different builders and
still couldn't find a house we all agreed upon.
When my wife rode by our home and grabbed a flier and brought home to
me. I called the agent Mr. Ambakey Bolden and within the hour we met at
Lauren's Grove. He presented the three homes with such professionalism, I
could not make a decision on which home suited all of our needs. I asked him if my family could come
back later that day and he was more than accommodating. When my family arrived, he presented the
homes with the same level of enthusiasm and professionalism as if it were my first time viewing the
homes. We all had specific questions and he answered all of them with confidence. Later that evening
we met with our agent and decided we would place a contract on the home.
The layout of the home was beautiful, built very sound and for the first time, all four members of my
family were in agreement. Even our dog was extremely pleased with her new home. By this time our
expectations were exceeded, but there was more to come. We met Brian the Facilities Manager and
everything noted on our walk through was accomplished in a timely manner without any reservation.
He taught us to operate all the appliances and thoroughly went through all the warranty information
and left us a detailed binder to follow up.
After living in our beautiful home for three months, we're able to call Lawson Homes for clarification on
certain things and they're still very attentive to our needs. We're receiving the same treatment we did
while deciding to buy the home. I'm a Customer Service Instructor for a major company and to receive
the same service I teach my company employees is refreshing.
Our relationship with the builder of our home has been a "Lawson Experience". They ended our home
buying search and we continue to inform everyone looking for a top quality home, buyer courtesy,
elegance and impeccable customer service to contact Mr. Ambakey Bolden and the Lawson team, you
won't be disappointed and we'd love to have you as neighbors.
