2017 Parade of Homes features seven Lennar floorplans in five Tampa Bay communities

Each year, the Tampa Bay Builders Association’s Parade of Homes showcases the latest trends in new home construction, interior decorating and landscaping.

During this year’s parade, which takes place throughout the month of April, homebuyers will have the opportunity to tour more than 90 homes by 39 homebuilders in dozens of Tampa Bay area communities.

Here’s a look at the model homes Lennar will have on display during the event:

Connerton – Land O’ Lakes

The master-planned community of Connerton is the showcase community for the Parade of Homes. Situated in the heart of Pasco County, the community features luxury amenities, such as a resort-style pool, as well as access to 4,800 acres of wildlife preserve.

Lennar will feature its 2,775-square-foot Winchester floorplan, with four bedrooms and 2½ bathrooms, as well as its 2,492-square foot Winthrop floorplan, with five bedrooms and 3½ bathrooms.

The Arbors at Wiregrass Ranch – Wesley Chapel

The Arbors at Wiregrass Ranch offers convenience to a wide variety of dining, shopping and entertainment options within the fast-growing Tampa Bay submarket of Wesley Chapel. With a mix of single-family homes and townhomes, the Lennar homes in Wiregrass Ranch provide an accessible entry point to a luxury master-planned community.

The 2,161-square-foot, single-family Magnolia floorplan, with three bedrooms and 2½ bathrooms, will be on display during the parade. The home has a neo-traditional style with a front porch, a detached two-car garage and ample covered patio space.
