Take a short look inside Northridge Reserve in Davenport Florida by Maronda Homes. This was NOT one of our favorite sites because it took a long time to drive here. Besides, this phase is nearly completely sold out.
Take a walk through the Carlisle. I liked the Carlisle more than my wife did, and the low base price in many of the building communities makes this a very attractive house. I also like that it has over 3000 square feet.
Take a drive through Ryan Home's Overlook at Grassy Lake in Minneola, Florida. Grassy lake is about a quarter the size of Lake Minneola, but it is nevertheless, a significant lake. I liked how this community was built on a hill with the potential for views.
Take a walking tour of the Lynn Haven by Ryan Homes. This house surprised me and I ended up liking it more than I thought I would. The base price a little high, but possible. It only has 2800sqft, but, I didn't notice that it was under 3000sqft as I walked through it - it felt very open. A downside for me is there is no dinning room. It is interesting to note that this house base price is $32,000 cheaper in Mt Dora compared to in Minneola. However, picking Mt Dora would mean you were comfortable with the extra 5 or 10 minute drive up the turnpike to get there.
Highland Homes has a multi-phase development on the border between Davenport and Haines City in Florida. This is a drive through of the phase located on Ruby Lane.
Highland Homes has my favorite house: The Wayfair. Unfortunately, Highland Meadows is way out in Haines City (south west of greater Orlando). Getting anywhere will likely mean driving I4 (which should be avoided due to the dangerous traffic conditions). The lot sizes are also fairly small. The community pool is a mile away, so, it is unlikely you'll just walk there.
