When you’re beginning your new home search, the number of prospective South Florida communities can be overwhelming. At first glance, buying an existing home in an older community might seem like the easiest and most affordable choice. Unless you’re up to the task of coordinating your own renovations and repairs, giving outdated features and living spaces a facelift, and risking structural deficiencies, skip the hassle and buy like it’s (about to be) 2020: new. Smartly designed for contemporary living, Lennar’s new home communities ensure you’ll get straight to the fun of a new home, with the peace of mind that it’s up to code, incorporates the most current design trends, and offers modern amenities for your family’s convenience and indulgence.

Arguably the most important benefit of new home communities are the new-construction homes. Characterized by an architectural uniformity and lush landscaping that may be lacking in older South Florida communities, new construction homes deliver a meticulous attention to detail that appeals to modern families. Conceived with the same consideration, Landmark in Downtown Doral (and all of Lennar’s Miami-Dade communities) provides added value in every home. New townhomes and condominiums feature sleek minimalist lines, and many include unique rooftop terraces with views overlooking palm trees, a resort-style pool, and Landmark’s exciting open-air amphitheater you will love coming home to. Fully code-compliant, you’ll rest easy––and comfortably–– in these new Lennar homes.

All new construction homes are enhanced by Lennar’s signature Everything’s Included® package, which ensures you won’t have to compromise on luxury features. Instead of buying resale items and managing multiple installations, you can move into your brand-new home with ease, as it will already be equipped with a stainless steel appliance package, plus a choice of designer cabinets, flooring, and finishes. You’ll also enjoy the convenience of an innovative Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ Home Design, which has recently become a major motivator for prospective homeowners to buy new. Nearly impossible to find in older homes, these built-in Connected Home Features allow you to control your thermostat, lights, locks, and more with a simple voice command or click of a button.

New home communities are also being developed with unique personalities that set them apart from seemingly indistinguishable South Florida communities. Lennar homes run the gamut from urban-chic to Mediterranean-inspired, enabling you to find a home that is truly reflective of your style. For example, Satori, a luxurious community of new townhomes and estate homes in Miami Lakes, embraces a Zen-inspired vibe. Surrounding an immense 67-acre lake, this community combines natural beauty with fresh designs and encourages a sense of comfort that goes beyond your home’s walls. Peaceful meditation gardens and a floating dock, among other amenities, provide a space for enhanced relaxation that may very well align with your dream home vision.

If amenities are one of your must-haves in your new home search, make sure you’re evaluating them as discerningly as the homes themselves. While it’s true that many South Florida home communities offer clubhouses, but they are often outdated and lack the modern amenities that will suit your lifestyle. Lennar’s master-planned communities in Miami-Dade County offer brand-new, resort-style clubhouses that will not only meet your modern expectations––they’ll exceed them. AquaBella, a waterfront community in Hialeah, offers you the best of community living with two lavish clubhouses, poolside cabanas and sundeck areas, a kid’s water park, and more. Luxuries aside, community amenities are also designed to extend exceptional convenience to your family just minutes from your new home. Need to refresh with your workout regimen in the New Year? Club AquaBella offers a state-of-the-art fitness center, so you can stay active on your own schedule. Looking for the perfect event or meeting venue? Book one of the party rooms and host large gatherings with style. All of this, for the prices of AquaBella’s nicely priced villas, townhomes, and single-family homes.

No matter why you’re looking to buy in new home community, it’s hard not to consider the appeal of a sense of neighborly camaraderie. Chances are that many people moving into your community are making their move during a similar time period or stage of life, so you might find you have more than your zip code in common. And, with so much to do in your Lennar community, you and your little ones will have no trouble creating a lifetime of memories with neighbors-turned-friends.

If you’re interested in living in a new home community, come visit one of Lennar’s Welcome Home Centers and start living out these benefits for yourself. You’ll quickly discover that owning your dream home is very much possible with the help of our New Home Consultants. We look forward to seeing you!

You’re getting settled in your career. You may be ready to start a family. But where do you plant your roots? According to a Tampa Bay Business Journal article, Tampa is one of the best cities in Florida for millennials.

The study found that millennial salaries are higher than the national average. In addition to this, the study shows that Tampa has a cost of living lower than the national average. Plus, there are a number of beautiful suburban towns just outside of picturesque downtown Tampa.

Tampa Bay offers a welcoming atmosphere that is affordable to live in and is bursting with opportunity. The Tampa Bay Business Journal article showed that millennials aged 25 to 34 were taking home $100 above the national average. The city’s cost of living is 9.8% below the national average.

If you’re interested in history, you’re in luck: Tampa Bay’s is long and storied. Pieces of this history are everywhere, especially in the culturally rich Ybor City and Columbia Restaurant. Since the 19th century, Ybor has grown to be a cultural hub, offering a welcoming atmosphere during the day and a vibrant lifestyle at night.

If history isn’t your cup of tea, there’s plenty more to do. Check out Tampa’s Riverwalk if you’re looking to keep active in the Florida sun, or head to the Florida Aquarium to see some unique and captivating marine life. No matter what your lifestyle is, there’s something to do in Tampa for everyone!

All of this paired with a rapidly developing downtown makes for a great space for millennials to grow their careers and start their families. As Tampa continues to grow and become a bigger metropolitan area, many different businesses are planting their own roots here to grow along with the city. In fact, Tampa’s even been ranked on a list of Top 40 Cities for Entrepreneurs. Local coffee shops are popping up in many neighborhoods and it’s easy to find a farmer’s market to get fresh, local produce.

When you’re ready to find a home in Tampa Bay, be sure to check out Lennar’s Make Your Move program and attend one of the upcoming workshops in the Tampa Bay area. During the workshop, you’ll get educated on the home-buying process and grow your confidence when it’s time to buy. For more information, be sure to check out the Make Your Move Facebook page.
