So you’re looking to escape the Big City for a setting far less hectic, with parks, lakes and trails. Look no further than North Dallas, where you see an endless palette of light green: greenbelts.
No wonder that’s where the in-crowd is moving. News articles, including this one, show 84% of homebuyers are relocating to the suburbs, yet staying within the same metro area.
At the same time, another survey shows that millennials, ages 25-34, and the 18-24 Gen Z set, are flocking to suburban areas. The number of millennials who reported living in the cities has fallen to 35%; the story also reports the “noticeable migration” is accelerating.
That’s why Lennar answers the call to those who want to live where the living’s easy. One such setting happens to be in Anna, a small city whose website shows off its rustic environs.
Avery Pointe, a Lennar community with new homes for sale in Anna, TX, lies practically within walking distance of a place idyllically called Natural Springs Park. The soothing oasis, nestled in one of DFW’s most sought-after small locations, features a pond, gazebo, and open spaces for flying kites and tossing baseballs or Frisbees.
At Avery Pointe, twelve floorplans in the Classic and Watermill collections offer Big City relocators an enviable choice of spacious, gracious new homes, priced at unmatched value. That’s not all. While greenspaces envelop Avery Pointe, the community itself features a relaxing swimming pool and walking trails.
Oh, there’s more. Tucked in a town consistently named among Texas’s Safest Cities, Avery Pointe sits virtually around the corner from every major metropolitan convenience (with much less traffic): grocery stores, charming eateries, local shopping … and lots of leisure.
Lennar offers even more homebuying opportunities for a slower pace still within just 45 miles of dazzling downtown Dallas. About 20 miles south of Avery Pointe, you’ll find two Lennar communities with new homes for sale in Princeton, TX: Arcadia Farms Brookstones and Classics; and Bridgewater Classic, Cottage, and Watermill.
Both communities provide rich amenities, including a swimming pool and trails, among several more family-friendly features. As if that’s not enough, the Lennar communities are nestled just minutes away from Lake Lavon, a sparkling reservoir with 121 miles of shoreline and 6,400 acres preserved for wildlife.
As with Anna, Princeton offers everything you need; after all, the city’s slogan is “Progress with Purpose,” while its website pictures grazing longhorns and lazy-waving bluebonnets.
Sounds just like Lennar, where Everything’s Included®, from upgrades other homebuilders consider costly add-ons, to community amenities and Edenic surroundings.

This weekend we celebrate America’s birthday, and although this 4th of July might look a little different in the Portland-Vancouver metro area, with the restrictions of fireworks and need to conserve water, there are still plenty of ways to create new memories with friends and family. Several businesses in the area are opening up their doors just in time for this festive holiday, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make it a memorable day by staying right at home with loved ones. We’ve put together four fun ideas that we hope will make your long weekend sparkle even brighter!
Create patriotic décor
The little ones are out of school and the last thing you want is for them to lose their creative spark. Creating red, white and blue décor as well as stars and stripes is a great activity and the options are truly endless. From tablecloths, wreaths, lighting, paper lanterns, banners, centerpieces, napkins, chair covers, serving buckets, place cards and more.
Grill & chill
What’s the real showstopper during the 4th of July? The abundance of scrumptious food! It’s a three-day weekend which means it’s the perfect excuse to dust off that grill and hit the grocery store for some tender meats. Be sure to get a wide range for foodies of every type, like brisket, chicken, hot dogs, steaks, patties and vegetables, as well as cookies, desserts and special treats for the kids (and you!).
Stay cool!
Things are heating up and there’s no better way to beat the heat than with natural water. Search swimming holes near your area and take the kids on an outdoor adventure! But the crowds might be a tad excessive for some, especially during the long weekend, so we have an alternative: stay cool with some homemade ice-cold treats. Yes, I know what you’re thinking. Why homemade? The Portland-Vancouver metro area has a variety of fantastic shops that specifically cater to cold treats, but there’s no denying there’s something unique, fun and special about making it yourself – especially when it’s a group activity with friends, kids and family. Whether it’s homemade ice cream or lemonade where the kids can have a stand in the front yard to sell, it’s a great way to keep cool during warm weather. Check out this recipe for homemade ice cream HERE featured in The Columbian.
Take a stroll through your community
The 4th of July is best celebrated outdoors – even if it’s in your front or backyard. That means more neighbors are going to be hanging out with their family and friends and it’s a great opportunity for you to take a stroll through your neighborhood, say hi to some friends or introduce yourself if you have not yet met them. After all, it’s a social holiday, so get out there and mingle!

Roll out the slip-n-slide in your backyard, turn on the sprinklers and let the kids roam around or buy a kiddie pool. Just be sure to have plenty of nice cold beverages as the kids will be running around and burning off that excess energy.
