The Brodie Floorplan. This Model Home is located at 977 W. Porter Lane in West Bountiful, UT at Kinross Estates – Hamlet Homes’ newest community.

The community features large open space lots with beautiful rambler and two-story single-family homes that range from 2,275 to 3,700 Sq Ft. Homes are appointed with an array of quality and upgraded standard features, many color options and floorplans for every lifestyle.

“We are very excited about this new Model Home where we can highlight and show off all of the features and the quality of craftsmanship that Hamlet Homes has to offer our homebuyers. It is not very often that we are able to find a beautiful piece of land like this, that we can build nice big homes on large homesites. This is going to be a great neighborhood to add to the Hamlet Homes family of communities.” Stated Barry Gittleman, President and COO of Hamlet Homes.

“We are so happy to be involved with Hamlet Homes. They have such a great reputation and will add value to our community,” said Angie Osguthorpe, President and CEO of Davis Chamber of Commerce.

The new Model Home also includes a Hamlet Homes Sales Center where homebuyers can view floorplans, home elevations, site locations, pricing and some personalization and color selections, making it easy to select and purchase a brand-new home at Kinross Estates. The Community is just steps away from the Legacy Park Trail and in close proximity to shopping, dining and freeway access. The community will consist of 30 homesites. Lot reservations and home selections are available now.

“There are some unique things about this site and our city, West Bountiful. We strive to have a very rural community and these lots fit that and will add to that general plan. Hamlet Homes has been wonderful to work with and this is going to be a great community. It is amazing to see the transformation of this property already and we are looking forward to seeing this all come together. We appreciate Hamlet and their founder, Michael Brodsky, and are looking forward to the continued relationship with them.” Stated Ken Romney, West Bountiful City Mayor.

Hamlet Homes proud to support One Heart Project in a new Framing Training Accreditation Initiative, alongside Salt Lake Community College, Decker Lake Youth Center and The Utah Home Building Association.

The Framing Training Accreditation Initiative has been established to assist youth coming out of the Decker Lake Youth Facility to gain important trade skills that will help set them up for success as they enter the workforce. The launch of this initiative will begin with six young men as part of the pilot program and all fees for the training will be paid for through scholarships from contributions and sponsorship money from One Heart fundraising events, community partners and Utah Home Builder Association (UHBA), Hamlet Homes.

This initiative is important to help these young men transition from the Youth Center and re-enter their communities and into the workforce. The statistics of youth arrests and their circumstances as supported by the attached One Heart Project – by the numbers, are staggering and we as a group of people and organizations want to help to change the outcome, by being a part of the solution.

“All of us at Hamlet Homes are excited to be a part of such an amazing program to help these young men. There is not a program like this here in Utah, and with the extreme shortage of trade workers in the Home Building industry here in Utah, this initiative is a win-win for everyone involved. I am personally looking forward to being a part of this pilot program from start to finish,” says Barry Gittleman – Hamlet Homes President/COO.

We invite the media and community to support the kick-off event for the Framing Training Accreditation Initiative on Monday, October 22^nd at 12:00 Noon at the Decker Lake Youth Facility. Speakers will include Utah House Speaker – Greg Hughes, Utah Attorney General – Steve Reyes, Director of Juvenile Justice Services at Decker Lake Youth Center – Trent Clements, One Heart Project Executive Director/NFL Superbowl Champion – Burgess Owen and Hamlet Homes President/UHBA Board Member – Barry Gittleman.

Hamlet Homes is supporting this program through support in time, mentorship and sponsorship donations.

Moving to a new neighborhood in Salt Lake can be stressful. You need to unpack, make friends, have your services set up, and locate new grocery stores and restaurants. And, if you have children, you’ll need to set them up with a new school! To make the transition easier, we compiled a few tips to help get you settled in your new home.

1. Get to Know Your Neighborhood

Having relationships with your neighbors is both practical and fun. Not only can they help keep an eye on your home when you’re out of town, but they make for great friends who are easy to socialize with. When moving into your home, offer a smile and introduce yourself. Typically, your neighbors will be as interested in getting to know you as much as you are them. Consider taking them baked goods or hosting a house-warming party to break the ice.

2. Find New Favorite Spots for Entertainment

Find out where the locals spend their time, from restaurants and farmers markets to shops and dog parks. Eventually, you’ll discover your new favorite places to spend your time.

3. Discover Your Utilities

Whether you are moving across the country or across town, you may discover different utilities offer better pricing. Compare and contrast the packages from cable, internet, and electricity to find the best fit for your home.

4. Forward Your Mail

Be sure to have your mail forwarded while you’re waiting for address change requests to update. The postal service can either make this change permanent or temporary, depending on your needs.

5. Get Involved

The best way to feel like a member of the community is to get involved. Ask around and see where your neighbors volunteer and spend their time. Is there a community garden? A homeowners’ association? If you have children, consider becoming active in their school or participating in a carpool.

Moving to a new home is exciting! Though you have a lot of changes to make, most of them will set you up for success and happiness for years to come, if you’re willing to spend the time. Before you know it, you’ll find your place in your improved community.
