Modern Design in Lakeville — FAQ — Quick Answers
Where are the best new construction modern homes in Lakeville?
Lakeville has two pockets of true modern architecture: new developments by contemporary builders, and scattered mid-century modern homes from the 1950s-60s. New construction modern in Lakeville starts around $550,000 for a 3BR. The challenge: most "modern" spec homes are actually traditional floor plans with modern finishes — flat cabinets and gray floors don't make it modern.
Do modern homes in Lakeville appreciate differently than traditional homes?
True modern architecture in Lakeville appreciates 10-15% faster than traditional homes in the same price range, but with higher volatility. In down markets, modern homes sit longer because the buyer pool is smaller. In up markets, they get bid up because supply is so limited. Only buy modern if you love it — don't buy it purely as an investment strategy.
