Growing community a few miles from Downtown Auburn
A couple miles from Auburn University, Solamere offers an abundance of new homes near the heart of the city. “It’s a pretty popular neighborhood because of its proximity to a major interstate. It’s also less than 2 miles from Auburn University, so there’s a bunch of shopping, dining and entertainment nearby,” says Brent Davis, a Realtor with The Talons Group who has lived in Auburn for nearly 20 years. Though the community is relatively new —construction started in the early 2000s — it has become one of the more sought-after places to live and appeals to potential residents looking to grow roots while staying close to Auburn’s downtown area. “It’s hard to leave Auburn once you’ve lived here. It’s just a community that really loves on you, and it’s hard to get away from it once you’ve been here,” Davis says.
Solamere was built in phases beginning in the early 2000s.

Newly-built properties and contemporary homes

Housing styles range from contemporary homes to properties with Craftsman influence and many more in between. “In our area, as far as price goes, it has that price range that people who are buying their first home or otherwise are looking for. Prices probably average from $350,000 up to the low 500s,” Davis says. He continues to note that house sizes usually range from 1,900 square feet up to 2,600, but some homes stretch over 3,000 square feet.
