Lennar’s Kennedy Farm community in Ridgefield showcases two stunning collections of new home designs including open layouts, Everything’s Included® features plus Lennar’s innovative Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ Home Design. With models now open, there’s no better time than now to visit this remarkable neighborhood and discover your dream home at Kennedy Farm. Learn more in this The Columbian article.
Lennar’s Kennedy Farm community is one of several developments in Clark County from the national homebuilding company. And as one of the newest developments, it serves as a “smart homes” showcase — displaying a suite of devices that can be remotely controlled using Amazon’s Alexa virtual assistant.
The features now are standard with houses by Lennar, the United States’ largest home construction company. Lennar embarked on the smart homes program in partnership with Amazon in the summer of 2017.
The rollout came to Lennar’s Orchards office — which serves Portland and Southwest Washington — in November 2017.
All Lennar homes built in the region after that point — such as homes at the Kennedy Farm subdivision, which is located next to the new View Ridge Middle School in Ridgefield — come with the smart home features.
“Any community in our division open after November 2017 has the technology,” says Kelli Cunningham, Lennar director of sales at the Orchards office.
So far, feedback from Vancouver- and Portland-area homebuyers has been enthusiastic, she says. In fact, the Orchards office created a position called “Home Automation Specialist” to help buyers understand the technology.
“What we’re hearing,” Cunningham says, “is ‘what took so long?’”
Some of the smart home features will be readily apparent for visitors walking around a model homes at Kennedy Farm. There are Alexa devices in the kitchen and bedroom, and the front doorbell camera and thermostat are clearly high-tech devices.
Some features are subtle. You might not realize that the TV, all of the lights and even the living room window shades are all connected to Alexa until you instruct the kitchen unit to switch to “movie time” and watch as the living room transforms itself into a darkened home theater.
The movie-time command is just a placeholder for the model unit, Cunningham said. Alexa can be taught any number of specific phrases that trigger customized sets of adjustments to the lighting, shades and smart music speakers.
Homebuyers and visitors will likely interpret the phrase “smart home” to refer to gadgets and commands. But Cunningham says that from Lennar’s perspective, the program’s core feature is the house’s Wi-Fi network.
Lennar’s smart homes feature built-in Wi-Fi networks that are designed to provide a clear, wireless signal anywhere in the house, using designs certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance, an organization that owns the Wi-Fi trademark and certifies products to ensure compatibility.
“We make sure there’s absolutely no dead zones in your home,” Cunningham says.
That’s the foundational feature that guarantees all of the baseline smart devices will work, Cunningham says. And it provides a level of standardization to ensure that future devices can be seamlessly integrated into the network, including other devices that homebuyers might want to add.
Amazon makes the Alexa software and devices, but most of the smart hardware comes from other companies. Baldwin supplies the locks, the thermostat comes from Honeywell, the video doorbell is produced by Ring, and most of the lights and shades come from Lutron.
Those manufacturers aren’t the only makers of each of kind of smart device, but they were chosen by Lennar through a vetting process to be included in the company’s new homes. Lennar chose a set of devices that emphasized secure communications, Cunningham says, and there are also some common-sense restrictions. The front door, for example, can be locked via a voice command, but it has to be unlocked either manually or via a smartphone app.

With temperatures dropping across much of the nation, people are preparing for cold weather: emptying gutters, stocking up on salt for the driveway, cleaning the fireplace, and so the list goes. But in Florida, we have a much warmer way of welcoming the season…
Our temperatures dip to the low 70s on only a handful of days and winter in our area feels much more like “swinter,” a summery winter. That said, in the bracing spirit of the season, Floridians buy a few thin cardigans, invest in some new aquatic toys, and… spend even more time outside!
Here’s our guide to basking in Florida’s coveted winter lifestyle for those who are getting ready to experience it for the first time:
Traditional winter activities include snowball fights, sledding, skiing, snowboarding, and the like. But lacking snow, we Floridians have to get creative and our winter activities turn into melted-snow activities:
In Lennar communities like Magnolia Trails in Davie, an ideal day comprises drinking pumpkin spiced lattes iced, while lounging poolside after a refreshing dip in the swimming pool.
Or spend winter break playing with your kids in the exciting splash park at Cascata at MiraLago.
Even on our coolest days, temperatures don’t get that low and it’s usually warm again by noon, so stocking up on winter gear is quite the easy feat, especially with Lennar’s spacious closets. The basics are simple: use layers that you can gradually remove as the day progresses! A top and cardigan are ideal for cool strolls around beautiful communities, like Satori and AquaBella. For more active homeowners, layers do well when your morning walks turn into runs more often than not, and Lennar communities offer plentiful paths adorned with lush landscaping to explore day after day.
Winter in Florida is arguably the best time of year because there is always a breeze, and neither bugs nor humidity are an issue. It’s the perfect time to spend your mornings drinking coffee or tea and reading your favorite book on the patio in your Magnolia Trails townhome. At night, capture the festive winter essence by relaxing outside with hot chocolate and holiday music.
Florida’s climate allows you to enjoy the best of both seasons–summer and winter–especially when living in Lennar’s grand communities, where you can jump in a resort-style pool one day and make delicious smores in the patio the next!
You just got married and life is full of exciting, new possibilities—such as finding a love nest where you can start creating your future together! But navigating the unchartered waters of home-buying can be challenging—just figuring out how much house you can afford is often unclear. To ensure smooth sailing, here are three handy tips to keep top of mind as you consider one of the most significant purchases you’ll ever make.
Unless you’re buying a home cash, speaking to a good mortgage broker is the most important first step. After all, you don’t want to fall in love with a home only to discover that it’s outside of your budget, or that further building your credit is necessary for qualifying! A mortgage broker will also acquaint you with various financing options so that you can weigh the relative advantages of each.
At the Welcome Home Centers in Lennar communities, our in-house lender can pre-qualify you on site, enabling you to shop for your dream home with confidence.
Based on your pre-qualification and your needs as a couple, you can determine the type of home that would be best suited. As you start your lives together, a condo or townhome may offer all the space you need. Consider, for example, Lennar’s Urbana in downtown Doral, a uniquely cosmopolitan and architecturally striking community within walking distance of world-class restaurants, shops, and entertainment.
Another Lennar’s community, urban-chic Landmark, also offers coveted condos and townhomes. An innovative concept in housing, Lennar’s twin homes, available in Campo Bello, mean that you only have neighbors on one side, and their expansive backyards comfortably accommodate a pool, barbeque pit, and more.
If you’re thinking of soon growing your family, have step-children, or other family that will be living with you, a single-family home may be the way to go. Depending on the type of community and architectural style that appeal to you, your choices range from Zen-inspired Satori in Miami Lakes to the Mediterranean flavored AquaBella, and many more.
Our friendly and knowledgeable New Home Consultants can help with any questions you may have about choosing your perfect space. They will also provide support in customizing your love nest, helping you with design selections, including paint, carpeting, and cabinet colors.
Some people love a fast-paced, dynamic lifestyle, enjoying vacation activities on a daily basis. Others prefer living in quaint and tranquil hubs, where a bird’s sweet song or lakeside sunsets provide all the stimulation they need. Whichever your preference—or something in between––Lennar has the perfect community for you!
Our resort-style communities, some of which include Satori, Landmark, and Fresno at the Vineyards, have spectacular swimming pools and clubhouses, kids’ aqua parks, sports complexes, fitness centers, and more. Truly, at these communities, there is something for everyone and in some cases, double the something! Consider spectacular AquaBella where residents have not one but two clubhouses, pools, and kids’ splash parks! For newlyweds seeking a very active lifestyle, in these communities the fun never stops.
But if your druthers for a community run to a more relaxed, easy-going home setting, Via Ventura near Aventura may be a great choice for you. Ideally situated near some of Miami’s finest dining, entertainment and shopping destinations, this community will feature a splendid lake teeming with fish, turtles, and ducks, as well as a swimming pool and lush tropical landscaping. Enjoy the surrounding, world-class entertainment, then come home to an oasis of tranquil relaxation.
A second consideration in picking the right community is proximity to work. Once again, how close you need to be to your place of employment is a very personal decision. Some buyers don’t mind going a little further, recognizing that property values are more accessible in outlying areas, while others prioritize an easy commute. However, regardless of the locations you zero in on, you will find that Lennar communities are strategically situated near major thoroughfares, schools, shops and restaurants.
Armed with these three handy tips—getting pre-approved and choosing the right space and community—we are confident you will find the ideal love nest for you and your significant other! Good luck and congratulations!
