These are the salad days for fresh, healthy eatin’ in North Texas. Not only that, it would take less time to drive from any of Lennar’s 80-plus Metroplex communities to a nearby farmers market than it would to create a meal from so many available summer-harvest delights.
While Texas is legendary for cattle and cotton, with more farms and ranches than any other state in the nation, DFW is home to more than 40 farmers’ markets blooming with everything from beets to blackberries, tomatoes to turnips, garlic to greens, baked goods to canned goods, roasted coffee, gourmet items, desserts and, yes, beef and wearables.
Consider, for instance, Storm Farm. The kids can pick their own strawberries, while you peruse the market for melons, salsa, honey and flowers, among just a few of so many choices. The market lies a quick 12 miles from Lennar’s Southwind Meadows community, with new homes for sale in Arlington, TX.
Many of these markets are even closer to Lennar communities. Frisco Springs Royals, with new homes for sale in Frisco, TX, sits just 2.4 miles from the Frisco Rotary Farmers Market.
Just like Lennar’s homes, with Everything’s Included®, the market, as with most others, offers a large and tasty array of standard features: pastured meats, free-range eggs, olive oil and more. The Frisco outlet also includes live music, breakfast tacos and fresh-brewed coffee, with proceeds benefiting community projects throughout highly desirable Frisco.
Of course, you’d expect farm-fresh goodness closer to the source, so it’s little surprise that healthy-eating outlets are even more conspicuous the farther you get from the big city. Still, one market that’s 50 miles from downtown Dallas is also just 4 miles from Avery Pointe Watermill, Lennar’s community with new homes for sale in Anna, TX.
Lola’s Local Farmers Market, which takes place the second Sunday of the month, boasts cheesecakes, tortillas, fried pies, preserves, and BBQ rubs. Oh, and Lola’s bills itself as a “rock ‘n’ roll market,” with live bands and a saloon. (Try to find offerings like that on Aisle 3 of your local grocer!)
New homes for sale in Lennar’s Westhaven community in Coppell, TX, as well as Lennar’s Winding Creek community in Southlake, TX, and the Bradford Park homes in Flower Mound, TX, all happen to be within 10 miles of a few markets.
One of them, the Coppell Farmers Market, provides a similar crop of fresh bounty, along with a booth available to Coppell-based nonprofit, young entrepreneurs and student groups to sell their products and harvest some experience.
These are just a sampling of markets to feed your need for freshness and good health. To learn more about how convenient they are to Lennar’s communities throughout the Metroplex, call Lennar’s Dallas-Fort Worth Internet New Home Sales Consultants at (866) 314-4477.
With many people adjusting to working and learning from home, Lennar has reimagined the home office. Lennar’s Next Gen® – The Home Within a Home® floorplans offer plenty of flexibility and provides a private, Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ space where families can work, learn and create. Learn more about Next Gen homes in this recent article by Mary Salmonsen for Builder Online.
Originally created in 2009 in response to the financial crisis, the Next Gen floor plans are designed to offer a private living space attached to a larger home, often intended for either an aging parent or a “boomerang kid.” Each Next Gen suite features a separate entrance, a kitchenette, in-unit laundry, and an interior door that connects to the main home.
“What we realized right away, what our home buyers realized right away, was that the Next Gen suite was really perfectly situated for all of the uses that are in need today,” says Jon Jaffe, president of Lennar Corp. “Home office, home school, home gym, home recreation, and combinations of those.”
In response to consumer demand, Lennar has begun to offer soundproofing as an add-on feature for the suite. Beyond this, according to Jaffe, the Next Gen suites require few alterations from one use to another—whether the suite is converted from a home office to a living space, or vice versa. The Next Gen floor plans are also Wi-Fi certified for full and consistent coverage throughout the home, including in the auxiliary suites.

Apples, cinnamon, chunky knits, pumpkin spice and everything nice – fall is upon us, is your home ready?
If you love fall as much as the typical American (and why wouldn’t you?), then it’s time to change along with the seasons. Let the dead leafs drop (aka pastel florals, linens, and summery scents) and welcome in the cozy textures, rusty hues, and flavors autumn.
You and your family will love to #stayhome when it feels like a cozy little autumn abode and smells like warm apple pie. Admire the changing fall colors from your favorite spot in your home, bundled in warm blankets, read a book by the fireplace, and drink hot apple cider out of a “hey pumpkin” mug and you’ll be feeling the season at home in no time.
With hurricane season coming to an end, now is the perfect time to do an inspection of your home to see if any maintenance is needed before Winter. To get started, please use this list of tips to begin your home maintenance this Fall.
It’s important to check your home’s gutters for plant debris that may have built up over the summer, as clogged gutters can cause water damage and roof leaks, along with other serious damage if left unattended. Gutters are very easy to clean yourself, but many companies also offer this service.
While winter weather is not much of a concern for Florida homeowners, it’s still important to make sure your doors and windows are sealed tight. Drafty doors and windows can lead to poor energy efficiency and also cause the potential for wind and rain to get in. An easy way to seal them up is to grab caulk from your local store and seal up any problem areas.
Summer in Florida can mean the potential for storm damage, so it’s a good time to check your yard to see if there are any broken tree limbs or problem areas. It is good practice to clear out any overgrown plants so that you can enjoy your beautiful outdoor living space throughout the Winter, without the hassle of constant maintenance.
While the need for heating is incredibly rare, it is still important to make sure you’re A/C and heating systems are working properly, especially if they’ve been used sparingly. Take this opportunity to change out the filters, check smoke alarms, and replace batteries to make sure your home is in proper working order. If you have a fireplace, it is a good idea to fully inspect it by checking the flue before lighting any fires for the season. Also make sure you have a fire extinguisher in proper working order just in case of emergencies.
Now that your home is all ready for the Fall/Winter season, it’s time to get outside and enjoy the wonderful Florida weather! With your home safe and sound, and backyard looking beautiful, you can spend more time relaxing on the patio or dining in your outdoor living space.

“As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions and wanted to stay updated at every step of the process. Lennar made the entire process easy, efficient and exciting. We would definitely recommend Lennar to anyone looking for a pleasant and positive homebuying experience.”
– KS from Aurora, Colorado
Why Refer Someone for Homeownership?
Homeownership may be one of the greatest, and biggest, investments you can make. Lennar wants you to make the best decision when buying a home, which is why we go above and beyond to deliver a safe, simple, and satisfying experience.
If you’re wondering who to refer to Lennar, think about these questions:
If you answered “yes” to any of these, we’ll gladly help them find their next dream home! Imagine having someone you already know and love as your neighbor. We can make it happen! With our team of Internet Sales Consultants and New Home Consultants, ready to assist, we can walk your loved ones through each step of a new home purchase. From touring models, to discovering Everything’s Included® features, to signing the purchase agreement, and beyond. We’ll be by their side through the whole journey.
Downsizing for retirement is one of the top reasons people move, but by 55-65, having close friends as neighbors is more important than ever. Check out Bridgewater at Viera, a “55 and Better” Lennar community, with new homes in Melbourne. It’s a wonderful place to enjoy your golden years, and even better if you can share it with friends!
“Amazing home and amazing staff! Lennar really made this experience a lot easier than I expected. The staff has always been patient and responsive. Many times, you look at model homes, and they end up being much nicer than the home they give you. That is not the case with Lennar. What they show you is exactly what you get, and I am very happy with my new home. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a new home.”
– LH in Marana, Arizona
How to Make a Referral
There are two simple ways to make a referral with Lennar:
We will ask for general information, such as your loved one’s name, current address, phone number, and email address. Make sure to also tell us your name so we can mention you as the referrer.
“Lennar impressed me immensely with the purchase of our first home. From the foundation being poured to the delivery and closing of the house, it was a seamless process. I expected some bumps in the road, but the staff with Lennar eliminated major problems and worked efficiently to deliver solutions to minor ones. I would definitely purchase another home from Lennar.”
– Jack K. from Durham, North Carolina
When to Make a Referral
Right now! Our team is always ready to assist new customers in their pursuit of homeownership!
2020 has thrown us all for quite a loop (to say the least.) While many professionals are adapting to working from home, parents are taking on even MORE roles and responsibilities than ever before. Roles like “teacher.” (As if being a parent isn’t hard enough already!)
According to a new survey for The New York Times, 80% of U.S. parents who are both working remotely will also be handling child care and education. The village that parents relied on to help raise their children just isn’t the same.
While the state of the world continues to change, we must continue to change with it. For parents, that means making the most of these new roles so we can better teach our children and roll with the punches. Because we’re parents and that’s what we do!
Here are our top tips for remote learning:
1. Establish a routine: Children require routine, especially when there are so many unknowns in the world. A daily routine helps reduce a child’s stress and anxiety and will regulate their internal clocks, which helps with their energy, appetite, and ability to sleep well at night. Establish a routine in your household just as you would if you were sending your kids off to school. Go to bed at x, wake up at x, eat breakfast, get dressed, and brush your teeth. Without the commute to school, you may even be able to squeeze in a little playtime or walk around the neighborhood before it’s time to log in to class.
Pro Tip: Schedule 10 minutes of meditation into your family’s morning routine. Meditation benefits are endless but include stress reduction, a positive mood, and an increased attention span. All of which will help immensely in a learning environment.
2. Create a learning environment: Compartmentalizing your home is one of the best things you can do to simplify your life and increase productivity – especially during a time where our homes are also our offices, gyms, classrooms, etc. Now more than ever, we must be disciplined about the purpose each room serves. You wouldn’t cook a meal in the bathroom, so don’t conduct class in bed.
Establish one room or area in your home as the classroom. Set-up desks and a laptop or computer for learning. Ensure your kids are equipped to operate at peak performance with Lennar’s Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ Home Design – the first in the world. With Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ Home Design homeowners will receive a superior Wi-Fi experience – no more dead spots, failed calls, or lagged Zoom meetings. Hang age-appropriate posters, have all supplies organized and accessible and place a clock on the wall. Follow the same basic principles we discussed for setting-up a home office (i.e., choose a brightly lit room, bring in a few houseplants, etc.) When it’s lunchtime, eat in the kitchen. When it’s break time, go outside. Using this room for school and learning only will help strengthen the mental association between being at a desk and learning.
3. Learn together and help along the way: Education in 2020 is a whole new world. We’re all trying to navigate this new way of learning and doing our best to balance all the hats we’re forced to wear. If you’re able, learn alongside your children. The better you understand the material, the easier it is to help your children understand it as well. If your student is stuck on a problem or isn’t comprehending the material, try to explain it in a new way – sing a song, use examples and analogies or use household objects. Make learning fun, be patient, and encourage your kiddos every step of the way.
Pro Tip: Emphasize the “why.” When kids aren’t feeling motivated to learn, or they tend to dread a specific subject, explain why it’s essential for them to learn the information. Provide real-life examples and show them how the information is useful.
4. Utilize resources and tools: Check your school’s website to see what kind of help, support, advice, and tools they’re offering and suggesting to students and parents. Most public schools will offer an e-library. We also recommend connecting with your children’s teachers if their schedules allow. Introduce your child and ask them if they have any advice or resources available to help make learning at home more comfortable for you and your students. You can also utilize the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institution’s online podcasts, events, exhibitions, tours, and animal webcams.
Pro Tip: Involve other “teachers!” Tap aunts, uncles, friends, and grandparents to “substitute” every once in a while. If grandpa is a history buff, ask him to step in for an hour to cover. If your friend down the street is a math whiz, ask for her help when faced with complex problems. Your network of friends and family are your best resources.
5. Make time for fun: Kids who enjoy school are the best learners. Incorporate fun activities, games, time for socializing, playtime, and creative exercises into your daily routines. Don’t fight your little one’s attention span. If they’re starting to lose interest or stare off into space – take a 10 to 15-minute break. Go for a walk, get some fresh air, do some jumping jacks, run a lap around your home, and get back into it refreshed.
Pro Tip: Schedule virtual hangouts with your kid’s peers. Facetime or Zoom a few of your children’s pals for 15 to 30 minutes at the end of the day or around lunchtime so they can chat or play games together. If your kid is 12 or older, the Houseparty app is a place they can play games and talk at the same time.
Taking on the roles of caregiver, parent, employee, and teacher won’t always be easy. But where there are challenges, there are rewards – like witnessing your child make a new friend, or seeing the joy on their face when they solve a difficult math problem. Try to see the positive aspects of this new world we live in and always remember that we’re all in this together.
