‘Quality’ key at Links of Independence

Robertson Brothers Community Builders has been “specializing in high-quality residential housing since 1945.”
With detached, attached and stacked condominiums as well as single-family homes in suburbs such as Bloomfield Hills, Birmingham, Troy, Royal Oak, Oakland Township, Northville, Ann Arbor, Lake Orion , Canton and Detroit, the company is now coming to Clarkston.
The Links of Independence, on the west side of Sashabaw Road, between Waldon and Maybee, is offering 159 condominium units (31 have currently been sold), including some homesites on Liberty Golf Course.
Bob and Iola Rainoldi, moved into the Links Aug. 1, after spending the last six years in Traverse City. They wanted to be closer to family already living in Clarkston.
They admit they are pleased with their new home.
“We like the location — the proximity to the freeway and to shopping and family,” Bob said. “We like that we’re up against a preserve. There are no homes behind us. That was a big selling point for us.”
Robertson Brothers, based out of Bloomfield Hills, held an open house Wednesday, Sept. 17. There, residents like the Rainoldis enjoyed a catered lunch from Rudy’s Market and received welcome bags from Carrol’s Flowers.
Approximately 1,200 realtors were also invited to tour three finished models.
Open that day for viewing were The Cypress, The Augusta and The Pinehurst models. The Links will also offer a fourth model, The Oakmont.
At a closer look:
•The Cypress is a 1,979 square feet, ranch-style condominium which either includes two bedrooms and a den or three bedrooms, as well as two baths.
•The Augusta is 2,107 square feet, one-and-a-half stories and includes three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, with first floor master suite.
•The Pinehurst is 1,838 square feet, one-and-a-half stories and includes two bedrooms, loft, and two-and-a-half baths, with first floor master suite.
•The Oakmont is 2,196 square feet and has two bedrooms, a loft, den and two-and-a-half baths.
The condominiums are available with a variety of optional upgrades, depending on model, but including features like a deck, jacuzzi tubs, alarm and sound system, finished basement, insulated garage, and much more.
Prices range from $240,000 to $280,000 with association dues set at approximately $185 per month.
The residential community will also include a pool and clubhouse.
“I think they (Robertson Brothers) are doing a beautiful job,” public relations consultant Marilyn Berman said, of Marilyn Berman Communication Consultants in West Bloomfield. “Any development Robertson Brothers does, whether its the million dollar condominiums in Franklin or the various home communities they’ve put together, it doesn’t matter the price level, the same quality and attention to detail is always there.”
Berman, who has represented Robertson Brothers for the past 10 years, continued, “The residents seem happy and are very upbeat. When you see happy residents, you know it’s first class all the way.”
