Summer Fun Makes the Metroplex Cool

Summertime is time for the family to make a bucket list, and not just one that includes a bucket of fried chicken for a picnic at Dallas-Fort Worth’s hottest spots for cooling off, the many big and popular lakes all over the Metroplex.

Nothing can be cooler than ice-skating at Dallas’s glittering Galleria, a paradise for shoppers and, for kids, a slide on the ice, but the entire area is awash in splash parks, too. While Lennar communities throughout Dallas-Fort Worth boast resort-style amenities, water parks and play fountains keep north Texas afloat during the summer heat, from Allen, just north of Dallas, to Weatherford, west of Fort Worth—and everywhere in between.

While the kids are out of school, let the family go wild, literally. Take exotic trips to the Dallas Zoo, billed as the largest zoological experience in Texas, where spelling “zoological” correctly counts as extra credit, and the SEA LIFE Grapevine Aquarium, with touch pools and an “ocean tunnel” that’s 360 degrees.

The temps in north Texas don’t reach quite that heat, but if you can brave a little summertime weather, you’ll have a ball with the Texas Rangers Major League Baseball team at Globe Life Park stadium in Arlington. Or wait until the sun goes down in the Lone Star State’s legendary big sky and cool off at the Dallas Arboretum’s Cool Thursdays Concert Series.

If some of all this bucket-list planning looks like a puzzle, let the kids put their own together at LEGOLAND Discover Center, filled with rides, a 4D theatre, and, of course, zillions of Legos. Toying around with other ideas? Take the family back to your own childhood memories at popular destinations for good, old-fashioned fun, namely Six Flags Over Texas, also over in Arlington, or the Galaxy Drive-In Theatre in Ennis, where moving pictures show for $7 and less per person.

A bucket list isn’t complete, of course, without a bucket. A variety of orchards, farms, and vineyards provides the pails for some fruitful fun, while duffers can grab a bucket of practice balls and hit the range in courses coursing throughout the Metroplex.

While our bucket list lists only a few of big-bucket summer ideas, the Metroplex promises more fun than anyone can squeeze into a single summer before school starts. Lennar’s homes really do offer Everything’s Included®, and our communities throughout north Texas include premium access to the best in recreation, leisure, dining, sporting events and your own athletic outings, cultural activities, shopping, and world-class entertainment.

While school’s still out, here’s an arithmetic quiz. What does Lennar plus Dallas-Fort Worth plus summer equal? Cool!

Although we’re experiencing record heat temperatures throughout the country, nothing beats relaxing outdoors in the summer.

Some of the best Tampa Bay summer weekends are spent outdoors at home barbecuing with friends and family, swimming, and enjoying your favorite cold beverage.

Having a well-designed outdoor living space at your home can make all the difference, whether you’re having a pool party or just drinking coffee on the lanai.

Realtor.com® recently released a list of the top outdoor design trends, which we’re also seeing in our Tampa Bay communities. Here are some of the most popular outdoor living designs in Lennar’s Tampa Bay homes:          

Extended lanais

Many homebuyers choose to add an extended lanai that creates an additional living space outside.

This often includes brick pavers, and a pool with a spa to take advantage of the view of conservation land or ponds in the community. This also makes space for an outdoor living room, a concept that’s increasing in popularity as more people spend time outside.

Outdoor living rooms

Outdoor living areas can be designed similar to the inside of a home, with accent rugs, comfortable furniture and decorations. It’s best to pick an all-weather indoor-outdoor rug that maintains quality in the sun, rain and resists mold.

Expansive outdoor living areas are especially appealing in Lennar’s LH Collection luxury series in the Waterleaf community in Riverview. Many homes in the community have room for buyers to add outdoor summer kitchens with gas grills, small refrigerators, sinks and large countertops for food prep and entertaining.

Some homes also have outdoor wood burning or gas fire pits – these are for use in cooler weather, of course, but they always offer a great place to gather.

Lots of shade

Having shade in the summer is important, particularly in Florida. A stylish way to create shade is with a pergola, which is an outdoor structure that is used to create a shaded walkway or sitting area. For extra shade and an attractive look, you can grow Star Jasmine as a vine on top of the pergola.

If you don’t have a permanent covered area, you can still easily cool off with an oversized umbrella. Some stores sell 11-foot umbrellas (or larger) that provide an abundance of shade. These large umbrellas offer a canopy of shade and can effortlessly be closed and covered during heavy rain or wind.

If you want to have the ultimate outdoor living area, Lennar’s luxury homes in Waterleaf offer the space to create your own oasis. Visit lennartampa.com for more information on Waterleaf Estates homes and Waterleaf Executive homes.
