Welcome to Lakeside at Avondale

Buying a home in Central Ohio is a major financial decision and long-term commitment, but it also offers significant financial advantages. Whether you're selecting one of our flexible floor plans or choosing a move-in ready home , homeownership provides value that grows over time. Predictable Monthly Payments One of the most valuable financial benefits of homeownership is stability. With a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, your monthly housing payment remains consistent, helping you avoid unpredictable rent increases. This reliability makes it easier to plan ahead and stay on track financially. Build Equity and Grow Wealth Instead of paying rent without return, your monthly mortgage payments contribute to something you own. With every payment, you increase your ownership stake in the property and build equity. Over time, this equity can fund a renovation, support another investment, or contribute to long-term financial stability. Plan Ahead with Flexible Floor Plans Choosing a semi-custom home means designing your space to meet current and future needs. Trinity Homes offers open-concept layouts, adaptable bonus spaces, and smart square footage that grows with your lifestyle. Planning ahead can help reduce the need for costly renovations or future moves.

Properties often appreciate in value, particularly in well-planned communities with quality schools and amenities. By staying in your home long-term, you increase your chances of benefiting from home appreciation and growing your net worth. Save with Move-In Ready Options If you're looking to move quickly, a move-in ready home can be a financially smart choice.

Spring often sneaks up on us, bringing warmer temperatures and a perfect opportunity to step outside, enjoy fresh air, and—most importantly—give your home’s exterior some much-needed attention. Whether you're in your first home or your tenth, staying ahead of spring maintenance is crucial for protecting your investment, preserving curb appeal, and ensuring long-term comfort. To help you get started, we’ve compiled a must-do checklist to keep your home in top shape this season. Inspect for Winter Damage While Columbus may not experience the same extreme snowstorms as other parts of the Midwest, winter weather can still take a toll on your home. Start by checking these key areas: Roof - Look for loose or missing shingles, fallen tree branches, and worn flashing around the chimney. Addressing these early can prevent leaks and costly repairs. Driveways & Walkways - The freeze-thaw cycle can cause cracks in concrete and asphalt. Resealing these areas prevents further deterioration and enhances curb appeal. Check for Drainage & Landscaping Issues A well-maintained yard isn’t just about looks—it also plays a role in foundation protection and water drainage. Low Spots in the Yard - After spring showers, watch for standing water, which can kill grass and attract pests. Fill uneven areas with quality soil to promote proper drainage. Soil Grading - Ensure the slope of your yard directs water away from your foundation to prevent basement leaks and moisture damage. Clean Gutters and Spouts Clogged gutters can lead to roof damage, foundation issues, and basement leaks. Take these steps: Remove leaves, twigs, and debris that accumulated over winter. Check downspouts for blockages and ensure water flows away from your home. Consider installing gutter guards for long-term protection. Refresh Your Home’s Exterior Your home’s siding, paint, and exterior finishes endure a lot during the winter. Inspect for Damage - Walk around your home and look for cracks, peeling paint, or mildew. Clean the Siding - Use warm, soapy water or a power washer (if your siding allows) to remove dirt and grime.  Service Your Air Conditioning Your AC has been in hibernation mode, and the last thing you want is to find out it’s not working on the first toasty day of the season. Clear away debris from the condenser unit. Replace air filters for better efficiency. Schedule professional maintenance if needed. At Trinity Homes , we believe that a well-built home should stand the test of time. Taking care of seasonal maintenance is one of the simplest ways to extend the life of your home, protect your investment, and enhance everyday comfort. Once these essential tasks are complete, you can focus on the best parts of spring—gardening, grilling, and soaking up the sunshine! Looking for a home built to last?

At Trinity Homes , we’re proud to specialize in what our competitors do not: customization . From siding to flooring to fixtures and beyond, we offer an extensive selection of options, empowering our clients to build a home that truly reflects their unique style and personality. We recently had the opportunity to talk with our Interior Designer, Amber Malloy , to discuss her role at Trinity Homes and what makes our new Design Center so special. With over a decade on the Trinity Homes team, Amber oversees the Design Center and plays a key role in selecting the vendors and suppliers, ensuring homeowners have access to stylish and quality products. “I’m very proud of the selection options we have available at Trinity Homes. If a client is looking for a particular tile or fixture, I will most likely have it. And if I don’t have it readily available, I’ll find it! I have a large resource bank and am always happy to put it to good use.” Amber’s primary role in the Design Center is helping our clients navigate the many choices available to them, offering expert guidance on selections that feel chic and timeless while enhancing resale value. Whether it’s attending industry events showcasing new product releases, or through her research, experience and general knowledge, she dedicates significant time to staying ahead of the latest trends in home design, ensuring she can provide homeowners with recommendations they’ll love for years to come. “While some clients do have a very specific vision for their home and require little assistance making their selections, the majority come in looking for inspiration and guidance to bring their home to life.” One of the most common challenges she sees is clients struggling to choose options that complement each other, ensuring things feel balanced and cohesive throughout their home. “ When choosing textures, paint colors, finishes, flooring, and so on, it’s easy to focus on the individual elements versus the big picture. It is my job to present the options in such a way that the client is easily able to envision how everything will coordinate, ensuring they make choices they not only love but that are cohesive and flow well with the aesthetic of the home. I want our customers to feel comfortable and confident in the choices they’ve made.” And despite carrying an extensive array of customization options, there’s also always going to be clients who prefer to use selections outside of what we offer. We’re always happy to accommodate these custom requests, ensuring every home reflects the unique style and preferences of its owner. Beyond her work in the Design Center, Amber also plays a key role in curating our model homes. “A major part of my job is bringing our available options to life in our Model homes. From tile, flooring, light fixtures and paint colors to furnishings and window treatments, each Model home is a blank slate in which I have the opportunity to really create the vision from scratch and then watch it blossom into a finished product. It’s such a fun, fulfilling job and I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.” If you’re ready to make a move, Trinity Homes can help you bring your dream space to life with customization options that reflect your family’s lifestyle and personality.
