Sacramento, Calif. – April 2019 – Lennar has revolutionized the way people buy new homes, from their Everything’s Included® program, the line of Next Gen® homes for multigenerational families, Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ Home Designs and their amenity-rich approach to building communities exclusively for active adults. Lennar Sacramento offers several communities designed specifically for those 55 and better that offer a one-of-a-kind lifestyle and homes that come with incredible value.

“We’ve really focused on what active adults want and expect out of a new home and we’ve incorporated these features in our homes through our Thoughtful Design® program, now offered at all Sacramento Heritage communities,” said Michelle Velky, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Lennar Sacramento. “We also understand how important a vibrant and social lifestyle is to Active Adult buyers, which is why we’ve  designed our communities with incredible amenities and exciting social events.”

Homebuyers looking to buy a new home in an active adult community will find four Heritage communities designed across Sacramento, Roseville and El Dorado Hills. Every new home at these communities offers single-story floorplans that come complete with Lennar’s signature Everything’s Included® and exclusive Thoughtful Design® programs.

Lennar Sacramento rolled out their Thoughtful Design® program at all Heritage communities in the spring of 2017. Created with the changing lifestyle needs of active adults aged 55 and better in mind, Thoughtful Design® consists of a series of single-story homes with interior and exterior details that blend comfort, style and promote functionality.

Some of these distinctive features include illuminated addresses, wider doorways and hallways, higher ceilings, spacious kitchen and lower appliance designs, extra lighting and windows for enhanced light, showers with roll-in access and hand-held accessories, reinforced backing in the bathrooms for future handrail placement, raised electrical outlets and so much more!

Every Lennar home, active adult or not, also enjoys a high level of standard features at no additional cost with the signature Everything’s Included® program, which provides quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, solar, home automation features and more as standard.

Home shoppers can experience all of these features firsthand by visiting any Heritage community to tour the model homes. A new phase at Heritage El Dorado Hills, Heritage Vineyard Creek, Heritage Solaire in Roseville and Heritage Westshore, which is down to its last final homes for sale, in Sacramento are all now open.

Lennar acquired 15 acres in northeast Houston where it has opened the city’s first nuHome community of new, affordable single-family homes from the mid $100s. Learn more in this Houston Chronicle article by Katherine Feser.


Lennar, one of Houston’s largest homebuilders, has launched a line of communities that aims to offer new houses in an increasingly rare affordable price segment serving first-time buyers.

Wayside Village, on Wayside Drive just south of Little York in northeast Houston, will have 64 homes starting in the mid $100,000s. Lennar has acquired 15 acres as the site of its first in nuHome product in Houston, with others planned later this year.

While new home starts in the Houston area rose 10 percent to more than 30,000 in 2018, activity in the segment priced below $200,000 fell by 26 percent, according to Metrostudy, a housing data and consulting firm.

About 2,950, or 10 percent, of the houses started in 2018 were priced below $200,000. In 2006, two-thirds of new houses in the Houston market sold for less than $200,000.

“There’s plenty of demand for homes at that price,” said Lawrence Dean, Houston regional director for Metrostudy. “It is a shrinking part of the market. That is a supply condition, not a demand condition.”

Shrinking lots

With rising land, labor and materials costs, builders have had to scale back houses to between 1,200 and 1,600 square feet on 40-foot lots, rather than 50-foot lots, to lower the price, Lawrence said. They also save by developing their own lots rather than buying from a developer.

Centex, a division of PulteGroup, and Express, part of D.R. Horton, are among the area builders that offer homes below $200,000 in the market, Lawrence said.

John Hammond, Houston division president of Lennar, said the nuHome communities will meet pent-up demand for affordable new homes starting in the mid-$100,000s.

“It’s all about making it easier to purchase a new home for families of all sizes who otherwise were limited to rent or resell residences,” Hammond said in an announcement.

The new offering has six home plans, ranging from 1,174 to 2,229 square feet, with open-concept kitchens and adjoining breakfast rooms, spacious family rooms, first-floor masters and two-car garages. Prices range from $161,990 to $199,990, according to Lennar. The starting prices shave about $18,000 off the price of the Miami-based builder’s next-least expensive houses in the local market.

The $200,000 threshold is also hard to break in the local resale market. Existing homes sold for a median price of $217,500 in March, up 1.8 percent from a year earlier, according to the Houston Association of Realtors.

The initiative to offer lower-priced new homes comes as owning a home is becoming more difficult. Harris County is among 65 percent of the nation’s markets where home prices are less affordable than a year ago, according to a first-quarter study by ATTOM Data Solutions. Others include counties covering Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Diego.

Purchasing a new home can be an overwhelming process that can wear down even the most prepared home buyer. Purchasing a Lennar new construction home takes some of the worries out of the process.

A new construction home offers you the chance to see YOUR dream home come true instead of the vision of a previous owner. Here are a few advantages of new construction purchase:

TLC not required

A pre-owned home, no matter how meticulously maintained, will require some TLC and maybe even some tough love to get things up to par. Faded paint, loose bricks and maybe a growling HVAC system will need your attention faster than you expect. New construction homes require less maintenance, repair bills and fewer “honey-do” lists.

HGTV won’t be at your home

We’re huge fans of HGTV. We love what they can do with shiplap and an old barn door! Unfortunately, they aren’t stopping by with a camera crew to kick down your walls and relocate a fireplace to give you the open floor plan you want. We’ve already designed open floor plans, large master baths, eat-in kitchens, walk-in closets and access to outdoor spaces WITHOUT making you live at Aunt Bethany’s for three months.

You make the call

You can customize your lunch, your eye color and almost everything else. Why shouldn’t you be able to choose what you want in your new home? Countertops, flooring, cabinetry, tile, exterior colors and other important details can be customized by you! Did we mention that we’ve reimagined the home buying experience by including the most desired new home features at no extra cost to you? Check out the Lennar Everything’s Included® program.

Intelligence is well, intelligent.

Our new construction homes are equipped with the latest technology to make your home almost as smart as you. Our Wi-Fi Certified™ Home Designs keep everyone connected, digital zoned thermostats, Ring® Video doorbells, Alexa, smart speakers and many other options to make your new home intelligent.

Efficiency

New construction homes are far more energy efficient than homes built just five years ago. Compared to homes built ten to 15 years ago, advantage new. It would be like watching Lebron James play basketball against our digital marketing guy. Double paned windows, Energy Star certified appliances, low flow toilets, tankless water heaters and high-efficiency HVAC systems save energy and money!

New home new memories

A pre-owned home is filled with someone else’s choices and memories. A dented garage door might serve as a reminder of the rainy afternoon bike ride to someone else. To you, it’s just a dent. Enjoy a new Lennar home where the stories, and dents, start with your family. Find your perfect new Lennar home.

Tracy Hills is an incredible opportunity for home buyers due to its prime location close to the 580 freeway and ACE station along with its incredible future-planned amenities.
