Only four homes remain in Neal Communities’ Woodbrook

Neal Communities (NealCommunities.com), southwest Florida’s premier homebuilder, has only four homes remaining in Woodbrook, its quaint and picturesque community conveniently located in north Sarasota.

Woodbrook opened in November 2011 with 224 available homesites. Now, the communities’ cottages are sold out, but the family-friendly neighborhood has two homesites left that will accommodate floor plans from the homebuilder’s Celebration Series, including the Freshwater 2 Tradition and Starlight Tradition. Two additional homes are currently under construction for earlier move-in opportunities – the White Sand Tradition and Freshwater 2 Tradition.

“Woodbrook is ideal for families and residents who want the best of both worlds; a balance between a relaxing and serene community with the advantage of living near downtown and all the area has to offer,” says Michael Storey, president of the Lakewood Ranch-based company. “Its location, amenities and distinctive ‘neighborhood feel’ has made it a popular community.”

The Woodbrook community, located near beaches, downtown Sarasota, shopping, dining and recreation, features a community gathering area for residents with a resort-style pool, spa, cabana and outdoor grill. Residents can also access a children’s park, pet pick-up stations located throughout the community and smaller pocket parks with a charming streetscape and a beautifully landscaped entryway.

Single-family homes range in size from 1,569 to 2,535 square feet. Home prices start around $260,000. For more information about Woodbrook, visit the Starlight Tradition model and sales center at 6574 Pine Breeze Run in Sarasota or call 941-753- 4134.

Neal Communities home sales increase in June

Neal Communities (NealCommunities.com), southwest Florida’s premier, private homebuilder, saw an increase in sales in June, with 99 total home sales.

The 99 home sales were across the company’s North, South and Neal Signature Homes divisions. The company’s North division represented the majority of the sales, with 71 home sales. The South division was responsible for 23 home sales. The company’s luxury homes division, Neal Signature Homes, saw five home sales.

“Last month was a trying time with the Brexit shock and the uncertainty surrounding its effect on the U.S. economy,” said Michael Storey, president of Neal Communities. “Thankfully, the national hiring boost and up-trending markets helped calm those fears. We also saw that encouragement through our June home sales – thanks to our hard-working sales associates and management team who make it their mission to provide the best home buying experience possible.”

The three communities that saw the most sales in June were the Silverleaf community with 16 sales, the Grand Palm community with 14 sales and the Boca Royale Golf and Country Club with seven sales.

Venice’s master-planned Grand Palm community gives residents quick access to the beach, which is less than 10 minutes away.

Homes start from the high $100,000s, and amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness facility, resort-style pool with water slide, miles of walking and bike trails, dog parks, sports courts and more.

Neal Communities’ Indigo introduces larger homesites and a new model

Neal Communities (NealCommunities.com), the area’s largest and most established, locally owned and operated private builder, is introducing larger homesites and a new model at Indigo, an award-winning green community in Lakewood Ranch.

Unveiled in May 2015, Indigo will now offer larger homesites and four new floor plans, including the Clear Day, Daybreak, Silver Sky and Windstar, the community newest model. The layouts range in size from 2,395 to 2,980 square feet. The new phase will have limited opportunities for homebuyers.

Once completed, Indigo will have a total of 580 maintenance-included homes on 151.32 acres. Since the community’s opening, 78 homes have been purchased in Indigo. Home prices start at $259,990.

In addition to the neighborhood’s newest model, visitors can also browse through two fully decorated and professionally designed models – the 1,509-square-foot Liberty 2 and the 1,764-square-foot Victory, which serves as the community’s sales center.

“Located in the heart of Lakewood Ranch, Indigo is very similar to our sold-out Central Park community,” said Nicole Brooks, director of sales for Neal Communities. “Paired with its close proximity to everything and its natural Florida beauty, Indigo’s larger homesites will be a tremendous draw for homebuyers looking for more serene space.”

Located at the intersection of Pope Road and 44th Avenue East, Indigo is a gated, island-resort style community surrounded by mature oak trees intentionally preserved by the builder.

Club Indigo, Indigo’s $1.6 million recreation center with a full-time lifestyle coordinator, features areas for community events, a culinary kitchen, fitness room and movement studio, resort-style pool with cabanas, spa, pickleball and bocce ball courts.

Residents have access to recreational amenities, including 150 miles of walking and biking trails, nature preserves and parks and gun, polo and cricket clubs. The Premier Sports Campus, recently added to Lakewood Ranch, is available to host soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, rugby, archery, senior games, Ultimate Frisbee, Special Olympics, flag football, youth football, Frisbee golf and punt/pass/kick football on local, state, regional and national levels.
