The Pointe

Model homes are now open at The Pointe, the final neighborhood within South River Colony in Edgewater. The Pointe is a master-planned golf course community near Annapolis, according to Slenker Land Co., the developer.

Centex Homes and Drees Homes are building luxury townhouses at The Pointe. The 24-foot-wide homes offer three or four levels, brick exteriors and two-car garages.
