As I stood amongst the construction equipment, taking in the smell of newly cut lumber and fresh paint, I felt a wave of excitement. I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed being a part of a brand new neighborhood. I moved to Celebration, Florida almost 12 years ago, just as Disney’s planned community was turning into a reality. As a Realtor, I had the pleasure of helping numerous families build their dream home within close proximity of the most magical place on earth! Now, I’m moving on to be a part of Orlando’s newest exciting development — the communities around Medical City in Lake Nona.
The rush of new construction excitement came as I stood in Phase 1 of Laureate Park, a planned community reminiscent of Celebration and Baldwin Park. Old-world charm will mix with new-age style in this neo-traditional neighborhood, that’s in close proximity to the Orlando International Airport. Each home will be equipped with cutting edge technology and will be green-certified. Options will include garage apartments and many of the sites will be large enough for a private pool and outdoor kitchen.
Residents of Laureate Park will enjoy community pools, hiking trails, an outdoor mall, waterfront restaurants, and easy access to Lake Nona’s Medical City.
Sanford|Burnham Medical Research Institute and the UCF College of Medicine are already operating in Medical City. In the near future, they’ll be joined by a 1.2 million square foot VA Hospital, Nemour’s Children Hospital, and a University of Florida research center.
Three builders have been chosen for Laureate Park — Ashton Woods, David Weekley Homes, and K. Hovnanian Homes. Ashton Woods will offer single family homes and lofts, with prices starting at $229,900. David Weekley Homes will offer single family homes, with prices starting at $206,000. And, K. Hovnanian Homes will offer single family homes and duplexes, with prices starting at $235,490.
Sales in this exciting community start on Saturday, October 29, 2011. As your Realtor, I can assist you every step of the way as you build your new home … from helping you pick the best floor plan and homesite for your needs to acting as your extra eyes and ears throughout the construction process. If you live away from the area, I’ll update you with photographs and progress reports of your new home during the entire construction phase.
