The best of urban, suburban and estate living will be on display, showing that the Homearama Touring Edition really does have something for every lifestyle.

This year’s show encompasse­s a number of great features and attraction­s, but most of the homes have been sold, so the 2018 Homearama is possibly your only opportunit­y to view the interiors.

Start your 2018 Homearama tour in Beavercree­k with Home #1, The Nantucket built by Charles V. Simms Developmen­t Corp.
