With the upcoming school year right around the corner, parents and students alike may be feeling slightly overwhelmed. Whether it’s buying school supplies or getting the kids to bed early, your back-to-school checklist is filled with tasks to complete in short order. But, if you live in one of Lennar’s Miami-Dade communities, a perfect balance of modern appointments, high-quality features, and enticing amenities will allow you and your family to prep for the new school year without ever leaving home.
Smartly designed and beautifully appointed, Landmark, a luxurious community of condos and townhomes in Doral, ensures you are well-equipped to tackle any timely errands. For maximum convenience, every home features Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ home designs, delivering unsurpassed connectivity at your fingertips. Mom and dad can easily order school uniforms, stationery, and bookbags from their master suite, while the kids check their class schedules online. Once the new school year has started, a strong and reliable connection will enable students to work on their assignments and projects without a hitch.
In addition to ample connectivity, Landmark’s open floorplans feature plenty of room for a designated study station. Consider turning one of the bedrooms into a home office or setting up a desk in the spacious family room or great room. With open sightlines and fluid spaces, the kids can complete their homework under your watchful eye. Conceived with every detail in mind, Landmark also offers great spaces for well-deserved study breaks. A sprawling rooftop terrace and large clubhouse will provide a stunning backdrop for unwinding after a productive school day.
Another important back-to-school task that’s pertinent far beyond the first day is lunch. Siena Estates and Siena Creek, two lovely communities of single-family homes and townhomes in South Miami-Dade, feature designer kitchens with stainless steel appliances and cabinets in your choice of stylish colors. Instead of opting for cafeteria lunches, you can whip up healthy meals—such as almond butter and honey on whole-grain bread accompanied by fresh fruit salad or turkey roll-ups on whole-grain tortillas. Plus, with all the space you have, get the kids involved so they too can learn how to prepare their favorite meals! Additionally, every home is enhanced with Lennar’s signature Everything’s Included® package, so you won’t have to compromise on luxury features.
For families who rely on grandparents for help during the school year, Siena Estates also offers floorplans with Lennar’s innovative Next Gen® suites. Completely self-contained with a bedroom, kitchenette, bathroom, and private entrance, this separate space is ideal for multigenerational living. Nana and Gramps will certainly enjoy an extra dose of privacy, while still being part of the kids’ daily schedules.
Now that your back-to-school checklist is almost complete, you mustn’t forget to fully enjoy your last days of summer. Satori, a lakefront community of townhomes and estate homes in Miami Lakes, offers a refreshing contrast to the busy school lifestyle by providing plenty of relaxation opportunities. Round up your family and head over to the floating dock, where scenic views of the 67-acre lake are bountiful. Here, ducks and turtles will idle on by as your family indulges in a waterfront picnic – complete with delicious finger sandwiches, berries, and refreshments.
After enjoying tasty treats on the dock, smiles and full stomachs may warrant a leisurely stroll through the Zen-inspired gardens. Overflowing with rich greenery and walking paths, these open spaces afford a sense of tranquility and stillness away from the hustle and bustle of daily living. Then, the grand clubhouse offers a perfect cap to the day, with its glistening pool, kids’ water park, state-of-the-art fitness center, party rooms, and more. At Satori, resort-style living offers the peace of mind your family needs to begin the new school year properly fortified and destressed.
As summer draws to an end, four lovely Lennar communities offer the best of all worlds, allowing you and your family to prepare for the upcoming school year while still indulging in precious moments. With plenty of wonderful possibilities at Lennar, consider spending your last days of summer with us: we would love to show you our beautiful selection of homes.
Finding a community that is right for your family is an important part of the home buying process. From deciding on how much distance you want between you and your office, to making sure your kids are enrolled in the best schools available, there are many different factors to consider when choosing the location for your new home.
Close Commute to the Business District
Considering where your work is one of the biggest factors weighing on where you decide to make your home. You may want to be close to downtown Tampa or the Brandon/Riverview business district in order to minimize the time you spend in rush hour traffic. In addition to this, a shorter commute means that you can sleep later into the morning, or wake up and have breakfast with your family before work.
If you live right up the road from your office, you’ll also be able to swing by on your lunch break for a homemade meal. On top of that, you’ll have the chance to really reduce your carbon footprint and bike to the office, depending on how far your office is exactly. If these sound like benefits you’d like to take advantage of, Ventana offers close proximity to the business district and gives the opportunity to have more free time.
The Great Outdoors
Want to put some distance between you and the office? Getaway from the hustle and bustle and settle into the suburbs in a community like Copperspring, where you can unwind in the cabanas next to the community’s resort-style pool. When you’re ready to spend some time on the water, launch your kayak or canoe into the tributary that flows directly into the Anclote River and the Gulf of Mexico. If you want to skip the river trip and get straight to the saltwater, Lynwood, a community set a few blocks from the Gulf in Apollo Beach, is the perfect spot to wake up and dip your toes in the water.
If you’re the type of person to spend every chance you get making the most of the outdoors, there’s no better place to call home than Mills Bayou. Enjoy Florida’s natural wonders with opportunities to relax and unwind outdoors, including a number of spots for bird-watching and a dock for fishing. There’s something for every branch of outdoor enthusiast and homes for every family in this Ruskin community.
Top Rated Schools
Another one of the biggest factors in deciding where you should put your family is where you want your kids to go to school, as schools often accept students based on where they live. Set in Lutz, one of Tampa’s most popular suburbs, Briarwinds is located near some of the best schools in Tampa Bay, meaning your kids will have access to some of the best education possible.
Living close to school means everybody gets to sleep in later, but it also means spending more time together before your family parts ways for the day as you go to work and your kids head to school. In addition to this, your kids will get home from school faster, giving them more time to finish their homework. Plus, your kids will have ample opportunities to join local youth sports leagues or spend time with friends before it’s time for bed!
With 36 different communities throughout the Tampa Bay area, you’re sure to find a community and a home that suits your family’s unique needs and lifestyle. From a community zoned for unbeatable education to a home on the Anclote River for quiet relaxation, Lennar has a spot for every family. Plus, across all communities, your new home will come with GE® ENERGY STAR® appliances, ceramic tile flooring, and much more, as part of Lennar’s Everything’s Included® promise.

Standard in all Lennar homes is our signature Everything’s Included® package, which ensures you won’t have to compromise on the luxury features and finishes you desire.

Put an end to overeating, overspending and overthinking with meal prepping! Your body and wallet will thank you.
Like most of us, you might go into a new week with the intentions of making healthy eating choices, but as the week progresses you notice that you turn to the convenience of fast food or take out. Constantly eating out is not only bad for your health but it also negatively impacts your finances and wastes precious hours of your week.
If you are ready to change your unhealthy eating habits, it might be time to get serious about meal prepping and enjoy the many additional benefits that come with it.
Here are 3 reasons you should start meal prepping ASAP:
1. Great for Your Diet
By prepping healthy meals ahead of time you will save yourself from the daily temptations of junk food, fast-food drive-thrus, and the occasional doughnuts waiting for you in the office’s break room. Meal prepping gives you the advantage of knowing exactly what you are eating and allows you to control the portions you consume. So say goodbye to overeating and hello to nutritious fresh meals. Pinterest is full of great meal prep recipes, check some out here: Meal Prep Ideas.
2. You’ll Save Time
Meal prepping involves planning and dedicating a few hours of your Sunday to cook and store your meals for the week. In return, you no longer have to waste time worrying about what to cook for dinner, stopping at the grocery store multiple times a week, or having to leave your office to grab lunch every day. Meal prepping allows you to save precious time each week and lets you focus on the other things that matter in your life.
3. You’ll Save Money
Save money on groceries, take out, and gas by meal prepping. By planning your meals ahead of time you’ll save money on groceries each week because you will only buy the ingredients you need. This will also reduce the number of groceries that go to waste. Meal prepping will also help you stop eating out or grabbing take-out on the way home every night. Planning for the week will also reduce trips to grocery stores and restaurants, which means you’ll also save on gas.
