When looking for a new home community, the amenities available are just as important as the homes themselves. Today, homeowners want community features that are fun and useful, especially during times of a pandemic when leaving the community poses a risk to health and safety.
Sometimes original amenities no longer serve the residents who live there. For example, the residents of the Connerton community wanted to see its Welcome Center transformed into a usable space. With input from about 2,000 residents, Lennar repurposed the Rose Cottage into a business center and organic café called Crossvine at Connerton. There’s something for everyone in the new retrofitted amenity.
COFFEE CREATES COMMUNITY
The café is open to the public and features organic, ethically and responsibly grown coffees from A Cup of Organic, along with teas, pastries, sandwiches, soups and salads.
A Cup of Organic supports farmers and those most in need in Honduras. Its mission is to provide the best organic coffee, fairly treat its famers and give back through fundraising efforts including an annual shoe drive for low-income communities in Honduras while also bringing communities together with coffee.
WORK FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD
As working from home has become the norm, Crossvine at Connerton boasts a membership-based business center. For those looking to switch up their work from home or learn from home setup, the business center is only a short and walkable commute from their front door.
COMMUNITY MEETING SPACE
Both the café and business center offer plenty of space for meetings of all kinds. The business center is perfect for neighborhood leaders to gather, students and parents to Zoom with teachers and for neighbors to host in-person business or club meetings.
INTIMATE HANGOUT
With ample seating, the café offers a space for community residents to escape and burrow in a book with a cup of coffee or connect with neighbors and friends over a light lunch. While supporting a local business, community members and the public can work, study and relax in A Cup of Organic.

The holidays are quickly approaching, and while this year may feel a bit different, there’s nothing stopping you from being the ultimate host! No matter your plans, we’ve put together some helpful tips to get you through the holidays without a hitch.
In addition to providing essentials such as clean towels, a hair dryer, and basic toiletries, make your guests instantly feel at home with a personalized note containing tips for their stay. Not only will your guests appreciate your thoughtfulness, but they can instantly get information on your home’s WiFi password, TV settings, and any other basic tips that are helpful for their stay.
It’s a good idea to stock up on foods that are easy to prepare in bulk, such as baked goods, nuts, or granola, for simple breakfast meals or easy snacks throughout the day. Your guests will surely appreciate not having to cook or leave the house for simple meals, and you can spend more time enjoying each other’s company! Lennar and WCI offer many home designs with walk-in pantries, perfect for keeping extra bottles of water, seltzer, or soda, or whatever extra essentials you need to store away for later.
This is your chance to really show off your hosting and design skills! From setting up a vase of fresh flowers on your granite or quartz kitchen island, to using linen tablecloths on your dining room or breakfast table, the smaller details can make a huge difference! Have some cookies ready to pop in the oven for when your guests arrive, for a warm and welcoming scent, or have a carafe of water ready on their nightstand for when they walk in the door. Your guests will surely appreciate your attention to detail and feel right at home.
Skip the scramble on the big day and set yourself up for success by preparing as many foods as you can ahead of time. From freezable soups to ready-bake desserts, or prepping your main dish the night before, both you and your guests will appreciate having more downtime and less stress. Creating a schedule for when certain dishes need to go in the oven will also help keep you organized and free up your time so you’re not glued to the kitchen all day long.
Lennar and WCI home designs offer the perfect canvas for your most intimate family moments and with spacious kitchen designs and open concept floor plans.

‘Tis the season to bring some winter joy into your home! Whether your family prefers to bring out the tree on November 1st or waits until after Thanksgiving, we all love being in the holiday spirit. The playful music, beautiful lights, and hot cocoa put a smile on anyone’s face. If you’re looking for some fun ways to keep your home festive this winter, these 5 tips are so easy and will make your home feel ready for the holidays.
Anywhere in your home that has a decorative pillow or blanket is a great opportunity to replace it with a fun, seasonal version. A blanket draped over the couch covered in snowflakes or a few pillows with red and green plaid are such a simple and noticeable touch to your home.
There is something special about walking into a room and encountering the smell of gingerbread or pine. These holiday-themed scents are typically associated with happy memories and put people in a great mood, so why not embrace that feeling within your home? Wall plugins, candles, and potpourri can be inexpensive ways to make your home smell like a winter wonderland.
As people walk up to your front door this season, greeting them with the holiday spirit is the perfect way to welcome them in. A beautiful reef on your door, a festive doormat, some beautiful lights, and more can bring a smile to everyone’s face.
Now for the tasty stuff! Ravaging the holiday section at your local grocery store is the most delicious part of the holiday season. Anything peppermint, gingerbread, or eggnog flavored can somehow make its way into your cart. Your pantry deserves to be full of all the sweet and delicious treats you love. You can even pick up a gingerbread house to decorate with the family!
Whether you use a smart speaker or enjoy listening to music off your phone, Christmas music is a must every December. Playing these upbeat tunes throughout your home is sure to make your day feel brighter and happier. This is a simple and free way to get your home in the holiday spirit.
While decorating your home for the holiday season can be so much fun, it is also very easy and will always brighten your family’s mood. Whether it’s your family tradition to have a tree in the corner of the living room or bake cookies together throughout December, there is no time of year more festive than the holiday season. Happy holidays!

When homeowners look for a new home, they usually have a lot of boxes to check. A great location offering convenience to shopping, dining, and family activities. Employment opportunities nearby. A great school system. And don’t forget the home itself… a home that’s both timeless and trendy, spacious yet affordable. There’s so much to consider that it can be overwhelming. That’s why we’re excited about Clifford Glen, a neighborhood coming soon in the Triangle, located in Garner, NC. Get ready, because it has it all.

You will also find Smithfield, NC just down the road, where the Carolina Premium Outlets offers a long, long list of shopping destinations such as Carolina Pottery, Carter’s, Nike, Harley Davidson, and anything else you could imagine. Smithfield also offers others amazing dining and shopping opportunities including DeWayne’s, a great spot for home goods and seasonal shopping and activities, plus local restaurants where you can discover the flavor of the Carolinas.

Michele Lerner reports on the growing popularity of multi-generational homes and how they can work for your family in this recent article for The Washington Post.
Lennar began building its Next Gen homes about a decade ago during the financial crisis to help families who needed to take care of their aging parents and to make homeownership an affordable option for families to share expenses, says Jon Jaffe, co-president and co-CEO of Lennar. Today, between 5 and 10 percent of all Lennar homes include a Next Gen suite.
“Our multigenerational homes were created to help families deal with the financial challenges of aging parents and to help make the family connections that are missing in our society today,” says Jaffe. “We’ve found that these multigenerational homes are a game-changer psychologically that are making a profound difference to make it easier for families to live with their loved ones.”
Approximately 20 percent of Americans, about 64 million people, live in a household with two or more adult generations, according to a 2018 study by Pew Research Center.
“The separate entrance is an important feature and allows for as much or as little interaction between family members as they want,” Jaffe says. “It provides tremendous flexibility.”
Flexible floor plans are also a priority for many buyers who anticipate evolving family configurations and want to be prepared with the privacy and space to accommodate every family member.
