About the Homes and Real Estate

Del Webb created Three Collections of homes referred to as the River, Summit and Manor Collections. The community was developed in neighborhoods that host a collection of each home type on lots that range in widths of 40′ – 55′ & 65″  and the homes are set about 10′ apart from one another. The neighborhoods were carefully crafted so no homes would face the main community drives and most are shielded by large landscaped berms.

The homes range in size from approximately 1200 SF to 2600 and are priced from the Low $200 to mid $500’s. Like the most communities the standard feature offerings change as you go up in price. The Community includes a lawn care program which includes cutting, fertilization and replacement of Pine Straw in the beds. The exterior of the homes are low maintenance vinyl siding with a mix of stone or brick facings and architectural style roof shingles. Residents may enhance their homes under the Architectural Guidelines and Home Owners Association.
