Energy-efficient homebuilding and design serves the homeowner and the environment – energy-efficient homes are less expensive to operate, more comfortable to live in and more environmentally friendly. A home functions like a system and energy-efficient design involves looking at the whole picture in order to maximize efficiency. For example, if your home is not well insulated even the highest-rated heating and cooling systems can’t do their jobs effectively.
With some of the finest green features available on the market today, Lennar offers “the next generation of living” in the new Everything’s Included Home – a green home designed to save you money while at the same time helping to save the environment. Lennar’s Everything’s Included Home provides a lifetime of value by increasing energy efficiency at no additional cost, with green building features already included.
While some features may not be available in certain areas, here is the shortlist of steps that Lennar takes to ensure maximum energy efficiency in their new homes.
Considering Going Solar? According to the Solar Industries Association (SIA), over 1.8 million US households have gone solar. If you are considering joining them by adding a solar energy system to your home, you’ll find there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Here are some helpful resources and interesting facts.
If you are moving into a new energy-efficient home, most of the work is done for you. But if you are renovating an existing home, the most effective strategy for improving household energy efficiency is to start with your walls, attic, windows, and doors. To maximize your home’s efficiency visit Energy Star Home Advisor to create a profile of your home’s energy efficiency features and to get a prioritized list of energy-saving recommendations customized to your home.
Whether you are stepping into a brand new energy-efficient dream home or you would like to be more efficient with your existing home, check out Lennar’s Open-Door Blog for tips on energy efficiency, water efficiency, air quality, and green building.

The essence of inspired lakeside community living, AquaBella, is about to debut two Can’t-miss events: the opening of the first of two breathtaking clubhouses, as well as the Model Grand Opening for its beautiful Paraiso Collection. There’s never been a better time to explore this resort-style haven of new homes in Hialeah—and you are cordially invited to join us!
From the moment you pass through the guardhouse, AquaBella captivates with sleek, contemporary architecture; lush, tropical foliage; and a magnificent lake shimmering in the middle of it all. A feeling of both serenity and abundance permeates this enclave, brimming with numerous amenities to create magical family moments and lingering memories.
Many amenities are centered around the recently completed Club AquaBella, now being opened for resident enjoyment. First stop is the pool and spa, so delightfully reminiscent of a luxurious vacation destination. Surrounded by stately palm trees, individual cabanas, and a spacious sundeck, the pool is a glittering expanse of inviting aquamarine water.
Close by, the kids’ waterpark is irresistible for the young—and even not-so-young!—family members. Here, slides, tipping water buckets, geysers, and much more, will have children gleaming with the sheer fun of it all!
Entertaining is a pleasure at AquaBella, where you can enjoy a refreshing morning swim with friends, then meander to the barbeque pavilion and throw some hamburgers on the grill. For more festive occasions, Club AquaBella offers an elegant entertainment room with a caterers’ kitchen. Certainly, your guests will be duly impressed by the clubhouse, with its spacious lobby, elegant décor, state-of-the-art fitness center, and game room. No effort has been spared to ensure your every comfort and delight.
This attention to detail is also apparent in the homes themselves, as you will fully appreciate in the Paraiso models, opening soon for your touring pleasure. Exemplifying understated beauty, smart design, and airy, free-flowing spaces conceived for today’s families, you won’t want to miss the first opportunity to walk through these homes. For such an incredible price, you’ll be elated to learn what comes included in the Paraiso Collection’s single-family homes. For example, the modern kitchens are a chef’s dream and include stainless steel appliances, cabinets in your choice of designer colors, ample islands, and convenient pantries.
As much as we expect you’ll love the kitchens, we think the Master Suites will really steal your heart. These alluring retreats feature coffered ceilings, elegant bathrooms with dual sinks and glass-enclosed shower, as well as one—or, in the case of the Pacifica, two—spacious walk-in closets. The Pacifica also offers a downstairs bedroom with adjacent full bathroom, perfect for older children, in-laws, or a home office. Each home offers the Lennar’s Everything’s Included® experience to ensure you don’t have to compromise on luxury features.
Not only is AquaBella itself exceptional, but the community’s enviable location near Miami Lakes, and within easy access of major roadways as well as excellent schools, restaurants, and shopping, add to its appeal. From your beautiful home base, you can enjoy the best of South Florida living, from the beaches and festivals to art galleries and museums. Life at AquaBella is truly abundant.
Be part of the celebration as we open the much anticipated Club AquaBella and stay tuned to learn when the Paraiso models will debut! But, don’t wait to own your own little piece of Paraiso; the best prices in the Paraiso Collection are available now, and pre-construction pricing will soon come to an end. We’d love to help you become AquaBella’s newest happy homeowner!

If you’re planning to buy a new home before the end of the year, its time to polish your credit. It does not matter whether you are a first-time homebuyer, upgrading, or downsizing; assuring that your credit is in good shape should be a top priority. Learn more in this RealEstate.com article by John Ulzheimer.
Did you set a goal to purchase a home by the end of 2019? If so, you may still be able to accomplish that goal even if your credit needs a little fine-tuning. What you’ll need to do first, however, is a mid-year credit check.
It can take months to bring about meaningful changes in your credit scores, and sometimes years if major changes are needed. It pays to start working on your credit rehabilitation as soon as possible when you’re considering a major purchase, like a home. Every basis point you can shave off your interest rate on a long-term installment loan is real money that you’re not having to pay to a lender every month.
Although every situation and every credit report is different, here are three tips that may help you prepare your credit for a mortgage by the holidays.
It’s important to understand what your credit reports look like right now if you hope to purchase a home by the end of the year. Checking your credit will let you know whether you could potentially qualify for a home loan now, or whether you might face a denial of a mortgage application. Even if you can qualify, a poor credit score could cause you to pay a higher interest rate and a larger monthly payment.
You’ll need to check your credit reports with all three of the major credit bureaus — Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian. After all, that’s what a mortgage loan officer will do when you officially apply for your mortgage. Don’t worry: Checking your own credit reports will NOT damage your credit scores. That’s a myth.
Finally, if you discover errors or mistakes on any of your credit reports, you should dispute them with the credit bureaus. Errors might damage your scores or make it harder to qualify for a home loan. They should never be ignored. Plus, the investigation process can take 30 to 45 days under normal circumstances, and much longer if you have to try more than once to get a mistake corrected.
Credit scoring models, FICO and VantageScore, are designed to pay close attention to something known as your revolving utilization ratio, sometimes referred to as the credit utilization ratio. Credit utilization is the relationship between your credit card limits and your credit card balances.
If you’re preparing for a mortgage, your goal should be to keep your credit utilization ratio as low as possible.
As the card balances on your credit reports get higher, you use a larger percentage of your credit limits. This causes your credit utilization to go up, and that’s not good for your credit scores.
If you’re preparing for a mortgage, your goal should be to keep your credit utilization ratio as low as possible. That might mean paying off credit cards and shelving them for a month or two, as the balances that appear on your credit reports are the same as were on your most recent statements.
The final tip isn’t so much a credit “do” as a credit “don’t.” Anytime you’re preparing for a major purchase and you plan to take out a loan, you need to avoid late payments. In truth, you should always avoid late payments as far as your credit scores are concerned but you really need to avoid them before a loan application.
About one third of the points in your FICO and VantageScore credit scores are based on your payment history. It’s safe to say that late payments can potentially be detrimental to your credit scores.
