Settlers built their homes here near places whose names evoke tranquility and warmth. Today, a new generation blazes pioneering trails in a place called Osborne Trails.

Osborne Trails, Westfield’s first 55-plus community, even has a Trailblazers Founders Club for the first 15 homebuyers at one of Lennar’s most successful Grand Openings in Indiana. Those represent just a fraction of new homebuyers at the community just 4 miles from 19th-century Westfield’s enchanting downtown.

Osborne Trails ain’t your granddaddy’s active-adult community.

Osborne Trails’ showpiece, the RETREAT clubhouse (Coming Spring 2021), features a two-story fireplace soaring over a sleek, stylish lounge and gathering spot. A full buffet of amenities await including a fitness center, library/conference room, Pilates/yoga studio, billiard room and TV lounge with full kitchen perfect for culinary classes or neighborhood cook-offs, arts and crafts space.

Outside, a heated swimming pool with covered lanai and fireplace, pickle ball courts and a tennis court are steps away. Through 180 lush green acres, 3 miles of trails wind past homes thoughtfully designed for active homeowners.

In every new home, Everything’s Included®. That’s Lennar’s signature array of standard features, such as quartz countertops in the kitchen and baths, stainless steel appliances and hard-surface flooring in the main living areas, among many.

Three distinct ranges of new home designs include the Southern Collection (featuring an option for flexible layouts for private offices or study areas), the value-rich Northern Collection and the elegant Central Collection.

Since Lennar’s grandest of Grand Openings in early March, Osborne Trails “Trailblazers” have also discovered Westfield’s enviable destinations.

Osborne Trails clubhouse

Nestled at 193rd Street and Spring Mill Road, Osborne Trails is just steps from Grand Park Sports Campus — a premier 400-acre complex boasting 31 multi-purpose fields, 26 diamonds and 3 indoor facilities. Westfield’s charming downtown is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, with quaint shops and eateries up and down Park Avenue adding an even tastier touch of home and offering so much local flavor for foodies.

Worn out from so many things to do? Osborne Trails’ homes, with fully sodded yards and irrigation systems, are all part of Lennar’s low-maintenance living here.

Small wonder Osborne Trails opened with the same can-do spirit of Indiana’s early pioneers. To blaze your own trail to Lennar’s exceptional active-adult community, contact Lennar’s New Home Consultants at (317) 659-3230 for an appointment or private self-tour or email LennarIND@Lennar.com.

The transition to Fall means cooler temperatures and cozier evenings at home, which is the perfect time to decorate your home to match! We’ve put together a quick guide of autumnal decorating tips to help make your home feel more festive.

Fall Florals

A simple way to transition your home décor from summer to fall is to swap out pastel florals for autumnal blooms. Outfit your dining room table with the colors of the season by introducing orange blossoms or even dried yellow botanicals. A festive centerpiece on your granite or quartz countertops is sure to be the talk of the table.

Cozy Outdoors

One of the best things about Tampa-area living is the beautiful fall nights with slightly cooler temperatures, making it an optimal time to enjoy your outdoor living space. Add a few string lights or lanterns, some earth-tone pillows, and a fuzzy throw or two to really make your space feel warm and seasonal.

Display Pumpkins

Nothing really says ‘Fall’ quite like pumpkins, and there are so many ways to use them in your home! Grab one of your favorite rustic dish and layer small pumpkins for a simple yet festive centerpiece or try placing them in a vase with dried florals. You can also artfully arrange pumpkins and gourds on your mantlepiece or front porch for a warm and welcoming touch.

Plaid Patterns

After the humidity of summer, it will be nice to bring some cozier materials into your home like chunky knit blankets and tartan pillows. Fall is all about celebrating your favorite patterns, so don’t be afraid to play with layering flannel, plaid, and knit materials in the form of pillows, throws, rugs, and sheet sets. We guarantee your owner’s suite never looked so festive!

Fall Wreath

A warm greeting in the form of an autumnal wreath is a beautiful and easy way to get your home ready for the season. There are so many wonderful materials you can experiment with to make your own wreath, so don’t be shy about trying something new! From incorporating birch bark to pine cones, burlap or acorns, you can create your own unique piece and also get the kids involved!

There are so many ways to decorate your home for fall, and we hope that some of these ideas inspire your Lennar and WCI home décor this season! For more home decorating tips and inspiration, be sure to ‘like’ Lennar on Facebook.

As most of us continue to work from home, there is no denying the importance of having a dedicated and organized office space. Here are five tips on creating your perfect home office:

1.Find a comfortable & supportive chair

Comfort is everything when it comes to both your health and your productivity. Regardless of how long your workday is, you need a comfortable and ergonomic chair. Here are a few things to look for when shopping for your office chair:

2. Eliminate distracting clutter

Filling your workspace with tchotchkes, pictures, sticky notes, awards, candles, etc. may make you feel overwhelmed, can limit valuable desk space and may make it harder to find things.

3. Create a functional filing system

A filing system can help detract from the clutter and help you stay organized. Even if you use a digital filing system, it’s always handy to have essential documents in a physical file. To stay organized, create a filing system with different categories. Having quick access to critical documents will help save you time and stress in the future.

4. Let the light in

Studies show that “natural light is the best medicine for an office.” A study by Cornell University showed that employees who received optimal light saw a 10% decrease in drowsiness, a 2% increase in productivity, and reduced eye strain and headaches. So, if you want to increase your productivity and improve your health, wellness, and energy, you may want to have your desk in a light-filled space.

5. Decorate for productivity

Your environment is essential to your health, happiness, and overall performance. Color is known to influence productivity, creativity, and mood, so we suggest starting by painting the walls in your workspace.

Also, consider greenery beyond just the color of the walls. Many studies show that plants can help reduce stress and improve productivity. One study found that a plant-filled office can increase productivity by up to 15%!

By having a comfortable workspace in your home, you may find that it helps reduce stress, boosts your creativity, and increases your overall productivity. At Lennar, we have been incorporating beautiful and functional office spaces in our homes for years. To see how Lennar has reimagined the home office, call the Virginia / DC Metro Internet New Home Consultants at 877-785-3662 to schedule your tour.
