During the design of Lennar Wi-Fi CERTIFIED homes, every floor plan undergoes a rigorous process that includes mapping Wi-Fi signal strength and quality – taking into consideration building materials and other factors that can affect connectivity.

Summer is humming along towards now, and there are still many of us who have yet to go on vacation. Planning a vacation involves varying levels of stress (depending on the planner) and properly preparing for travels can make a tremendous difference in how easy and carefree your vacation ends up being. One thing that slips past many travel plans is the concept of personal identity security. Nothing puts a damper on a vacation like finding out your bank or credit card account has been hacked. Here are a few things you can do to help defend yourself against fraud and identity theft the next time you are feeling the urge to heed the call of distant travels.
Take stock of what personal identification you will be needing for your journey. Same with debit or credit cards. Don’t take more of these than you need to. Bringing extra cards along means bringing extra opportunities for problems to arise through lost or stolen wallets and purses. Also, if you must use an ATM to withdraw cash from your account, try to use ATM machines at trusted financial locations. Avoid high traffic areas and tourist traps that can offer identity thieves the chance to use skimmers to steal your data.
Another good tip is to let your banks and credit card companies know that you’ll be travelling and where you will be travelling to. This can help you avoid potential hiccups with fraud alerts when your card is suddenly swiped in Europe when it was swiped at the local grocery store the day before you left.
One final word of advice when it comes to social media sharing. Everyone loves posting photos and tagging themselves (and their loved ones) on various social media platforms posing in front of national monuments or beautiful natural vistas. That’s great, but when you post the photos from the location you took them AND tag yourself in an immediate social media post, you are announcing to the world that you are currently away from home, and that any enterprising sticky fingered criminal would be able to see your home ripe for the taking. Save your tagging until you get home!
You’ve seen the idea of a smart home in TV shows and movies, being able to control everything with a touch of a button. Well, the future is now here and a smart home is finally within reach! Learn about the five ways technology can improve your life at home in this recent Inc.com article by Avi Savar.
Leaving a light on overnight doesn’t seem like a big deal, but if you do it often enough, you’re bound to burn through bulbs and notice a difference in your electric bill. With smart lighting, you can dim your lights using an app on your smartphone from another room or even another city. So, if you forget to turn off the hallway light as you leave for vacation, it won’t burn the entire time you’re gone. You’ll just turn it off with a few taps on your phone and then sleep easy. You can also set a timer for your smart lights, ensuring they always dim or turn off at bedtime.
Sitting comfortably in your armchair and feeling too lazy to get up and turn down the heat? This is not a problem when you have a smart thermostat. Like smart lighting, this easy-to-use gadget can be controlled manually, but you can also access it from your smartphone. Some products, including Nest, are even able to sense when you’re home, versus when you’re away, and adjust the temperature as needed.
Smart lighting and a smart thermostat can cut your electric bill in half, but there are ways to save even more. Invest in solar panels and you may save more than $1,000 per year on utilities. While there is a significant cost associated with installing solar panels (around $10,000), tax credits are available to help you reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. Whether you’re going to be in your home for the long haul or you just care about reducing your home’s carbon footprint, solar panels are a great alternative to remaining on the grid.

Lennar is building its first solar-powered community in the Tampa Bay area, which will also be the first new-home, solar-powered community in Pasco County.
Lennar’s Bexley Courtyard community, part of the Bexley master-planned development in Land O’Lakes, is about 30 miles north of Tampa and will have 28 homes upon completion.

If you’ve ever considered buying a home that uses solar energy, here’s what you need to know about the solar-powered homes in Bexley Courtyard:
Lennar works with advanced solar energy technology
Lennar’s solar panel systems are provided by SunStreet, which uses advanced solar technology that produces more renewable energy than most traditional solar panel systems, and helps homeowners be more environmentally friendly.
With a solar-powered home in Bexley Courtyard, homeowners pay a fixed monthly fee to SunStreet that never increases for any reason. Homeowners can also choose to purchase the solar energy system if they prefer.
Current utility policies convert energy produced but not used to a credit with the community’s utility provider. When homeowners need more energy than their solar system produces, additional energy is provided by the utility and any credits that have been earned are applied to offset the cost.
Solar-powered homes in Bexley Courtyard boast modern architecture and tons of amenities
Bexley Courtyard offers four distinctive floorplans ranging from 1,888 square feet to 2,542 square feet. The solar energy technology and all equipment comes pre-installed and ready for activation.
The one- and two-story homes are designed with angled roofs and contemporary exterior finishes inspired by the mid-century modern architectural style.
The community is part of the 1,700-acre master-planned development called Bexley that offers all-inclusive amenities such as two resort-style pools, a lakefront clubhouse with a café and fitness center, and a 10-mile biking and running trail designed by Avid Trails.

Lennar is helping make the Sunshine State a leader in solar energy
Although Florida has not been a U.S. leader in solar energy, this may soon change. According to a June 2017 report by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), Florida ranks third in the nation for solar capacity potential, but 13th in the nation for solar capacity installed. However, the report projects that by 2021, Florida will climb the rankings to eighth in the nation for solar capacity installed.
Lennar is becoming a leader with SunStreet in building solar-powered homes, with nearly 200 solar-powered communities throughout the United States.
Bexley Courtyard is located at 17295 Brighton Lake Road in Land O’ Lakes. For more information, visit our Bexley Courtyard community page.
