More Beautiful New Homes Being Built at Harper Road Estates
Palmer's development of Harper Road Estates south of Harper on Kerrville road began three years ago in 1972 and has continued building over the past year. A tour includes 21 homes, ranchettes, and plans for a new three bedroom residence on Charlotte Avenue. The subdivision features native rock, brick, and limestone homes with paved streets, its own water system and services, and amenities like cable TV and propane gas. Palmer predicts further growth in Harper Road Estates, Ranchettes, and Mobile Home Village with strong local economy benefits.
