If this is your first time buying a home, or if you haven’t bought a home in a long time, we understand that the process of buying a home can be full of questions.
Here are four common questions we receive from homebuyers, to help you prepare before checking out one of our many communities in the Tampa Bay area:
Our new-construction homes come with one-, two-, and 10-year warranties. Our one-year warranty offers extensive coverage of your new home, while the two-year warranty covers all electrical and plumbing. Our 10-year warranty is a structural warranty and covers the foundation and anything that is load-bearing.
There are several closing incentives offered by our preferred lender, Eagle Home Mortgage. Our closing incentives, which can save you thousands of dollars, are designed to save you money while still finding the home that best fits your needs.
Diving into everything that goes into a monthly mortgage payment may seem intimidating, but remember that a brand-new home is an investment.
Most of our communities have Homeowner’s Association or Community Development District fees, which vary depending on the community and its amenities. For communities with a CDD, the fees are already incorporated into your monthly payments, which makes managing your bills a bit easier.
When you finance through Eagle Home Mortgage, you’re provided an estimated total monthly payment that includes the mortgage, taxes, insurance and any additional fees.
When buying a new home, you may find that there are a lot of extra expenses, which is why Lennar ensures that each home is part of its Everything’s Included Program.
This means our homes come move-in ready with energy-saving appliances, LED lighting, and a high-efficiency heating and air conditioning system. These upgrades are offered at no extra cost to you, which makes the home buying process simpler.

With new restaurants and stores constantly opening up in Tampa’s trending downtown area, more and more families want to be near all the amenities that an urban downtown offers.
Unfortunately, many homebuyers are finding that homes in the downtown core don’t fit all their needs.
Many families are solving the challenge by moving to homes near the urban core, where they can find both quick access to downtown and new homes that fit their lifestyle and budget.
Lennar’s Touchstone community fits these requirements and is designed for families of all sizes. Homebuyers can expect a great location for quick trips into downtown, along with the opportunity to live in a brand-new home with an open, flexible floorplan.
Easy access to downtown and MacDill Air Force Base
Touchstone is located near Interstate 75 and the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway, which makes it so easy to get where you need to go. Downtown is just nine miles away, and MacDill Air Force Base is an 18-mile commute.
That quick access will come in handy when your family is looking for things to do in Tampa. Many weekend events and festivals happen along the Tampa Riverwalk and at Curtis Hixon Park, home of the Glazer Children’s Museum and Tampa Museum of Art.
Touchstone is also one of the closest new-home communties to MacDill Air Force Base, which employs thousands of reserve and active duty military in the Tampa Bay area. Lennar’s move-in ready homes can be a quick and easy transition for military families, especially through our preferred lender’s VA loan program.
Area entertainment and shopping fit for the family
Touchstone homebuyers enjoy attractions and great shopping within an easy drive. Ready for entertainment? Try out the TopGolf sports entertainment complex, which blends a vertical driving range with foodie-loving fare. If that’s too tame, take the family on an adventure with iFLY Indoor Skydiving.
Both attractions are near great shopping, including Bass Pro Shops, the Westfield Brandon Mall, Costco and Target. If you’re hungry, head to The Cheesecake Factory, Islamorada Fish Company or the Brass Tap, or any of the dozens of other great restaurant options nearby.
Floorplans are a good value
Besides the great location, Touchstone has been designed to offer the flexibility and affordability families want. You can choose from 15 single-family floorplans ranging from 1,461 to 3,326 square feet.
The community is part of Lennar’s American Dream Series of homes, which are designed with value in mind.
Buyers who want a larger home will appreciate the 5-bedroom, 2,389-square-foot Columbia floorplan that starts in the $240s. This two-story model has an open loft, oversized walk-in closet in the master suite and plenty of storage space.
Don’t need that much room? You may be interested in the 1,528-square-foot Naples II floorplan with three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths starting in the $210s.
In addition to single-family homes, Touchstone has a few townhome floorplans to choose from. The floorplans, which range from 1,541 to 1,634 square feet, start in the $170s.
Everything’s Included
As part of Lennar’s Everything’s Included® program, the Touchstone homes come move-in ready with GE® appliances, LED lighting, and a high-efficiency heating and air conditioning system.
The homes also feature Florida-friendly landscaping and energy-efficient windows.
When your family’s ready to relax and recharge from a busy week, enjoy the community amenities, which include a resort-style pool, clubhouse, fitness center and several parks.
If your family is the weekend wandering type, it’s hard to beat the easy access to downtown, beaches and Historic Ybor City that Touchstone offers. When it comes down to it, Touchstone’s large floorplans could be the winning choice for homebuyers when comparing downtown Tampa homes in their price range.
Touchstone’s model homes recently opened and several quick move-in homes are available at Lennar.com or at the community, located at 4223 Globe Thistle Dr. in Tampa.
Reno, Nev. – August 2018 – The way families are choosing to live today has changed significantly with many homeshoppers not only looking for a house to fit the needs of their family, but enough space for their parents, too. Multigenerational households have become much more common and Lennar’s popular Next Gen® – The Home Within a Home® design presents the ideal solution to multigenerational living. The Next Gen® home offers a separate living unit attached to the main home, so no party has to sacrifice their privacy or comfort. Lennar’s popular Next Gen® design is available throughout several of Lennar Reno’s new home communities!
“Lennar’s Next Gen® – The Home Within A Home allows homeshoppers to experience a better way to live while providing the opportunity to share the comfort of their home with loved ones,” said Dustin Barker, Division President for Lennar Reno. “This design features two homes under one roof and opens the door to an array of financial and logistical benefits— skip the secondary rent or elderly housing costs and move your parents in for more opportunities for special family moments.”
The Next Gen® floorplan includes a separate but attached unit to your new home with all the features you’d expect; including a kitchenette, bedroom, full bathroom and private living space. This design seamlessly connects a main home and private suite through a double access door, similar to adjoining hotel rooms, to allow for as much interaction or privacy residents’ desire.
The private suite is flexible and can accommodate any changing lifestyle. If your parents’ move is only temporary, the separate unit can be transformed into something for everyday use such as a retreat from the energy of a big, happy family, that woodshop you’ve always dreamed of or extra room for early morning yoga—the options are endless.
