Finding their dream home
For the Ignatov Family moving to Uplands meant more time tucked away enjoying their incredible backyard views and quality time with the family.
Kaytlyn and her husband Alex have their hands full raising their two little ones—daughter Xela, who is three years old, and son Xander, who is a year and a half. Their days are often full of activities and centered around family + friends.
“We loved the mountain views driving in, the beautiful contemporary clubhouse with the pool, and all the amenities Uplands offers. Not only was the neighborhood serene but our home was exactly what we had envisioned for our dream home.”
Choosing Uplands
Kaytlyn was raised in Bonney Lake, Washington, while Alex’s journey started much farther away in the Ukraine. They knew they wanted to stay in the area and it was clear Uplands became the obvious choice. Their realtor introduced them to Uplands through a Richmond American Homes promotion, and from the very first visit, they knew it was something special. Driving in, they were immediately struck by the Mt. Rainier views—views they could see from their backyard too!
Then they toured The Club at Uplands and instantly knew this was going to be a future family hangout spot. With contemporary design, heated pools, and thoughtful, resort-style amenities—Uplands was everything they’d been looking for.
There’s no place like home
But what truly sealed the deal was the home itself. It was everything they imagined for their family.
“We fell in love with the Donovan floor plan because of its spacious layout, the incredible backyard views, and the lot size—perfect for a growing family. Richmond’s offerings, including their rates and beautifully designed floor plans, made the decision even easier.”
Since moving in, they’ve had visits from all their friends and family, and every single one of them has been blown away. They always comment on how beautiful both the home and the neighborhood are—and many have already made plans to come back during the summer months.
“Inside our home, the kitchen has become our favorite space. There’s something so calming about looking out at the greenbelt while cooking or hanging out together.”
