What's New at Our Senior Retirement Community

SummerGlen Homesites Are ALMOST GONE!

SummerGlen has announced to its customers that fewer than 50 new homesites remain to be sold in the 1,024 home community.

Since Florida Leisure Communities first began selling homes in SummerGlen in January 2004, SummerGlen has been one of Central Florida's best selling retirement communities, averaging well over 100 homes per year for the last eight years. SummerGlen's vice president for marketing and sales Tom Eleazer credited the c community's unique combination of high quality and value, plus exceptional lifestyle for SummerGlen's success. "There are certainly bigger communities and ones with more amenities than SummerGlen, but we have a small town feel and old fashioned quality that our residents simply love," he noted.

Customers purchasing the last remaining new SummerGlen homesites will have the opportunity to customize their home via FLC's unique "Build-Com" program. This program gives homeowners the flexibility to change just about any aspect of their home--a benefit that few Florida retirement communities offer. "Customers often feel that customizing their home is going to be expensive," Eleazer said. "But most are surprised how affordable it is to get their new home exactly the way they want it."

If you're one of the hundreds of customers who have said they want to live at SummerGlen "someday," the time to act is right now. For a short time longer, SummerGlen is offering is delayed building program, which gives you up to one year to close on your new home. This can give new homeowners time to sell their present home and plan their move.

FLORIDA COMMUNITY OF EXCELLENCE
COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION JOURNAL

SummerGlen was recently named a 2011 Florida Community Of Excellence by the Florida Community Association Journal. Our community was one of three large communities (over 400 homes) cited for its efforts in water and energy conservation.

Among the reasons the Journal recognized SummerGlen was the fact that the community has incorporated conservation into the design of our latest community building with open-cell Icynene insulation and a high-efficiency air conditioning system that minimizes energy use with CO2 sensors controlling the fresh air recovery system. We utilized green-certified carpet is made from recycled materials. Community buildings utilize passive solar lighting, waterless urinals, and very low-flow toilets and faucets. They also have minimal windows, limited duct system leakage, programmable thermostats, and zoned air conditioning. Community garden plots are available for residents to grow their own produce, and drip irrigation and recycled water are used in conjunction with soil moisture sensors.

We were surprised at the many reasons these homeowners gave for making their decision to live at SummerGlen, versus other retirement communiteis they could have chosen in the Ocala area.

For example, the Kelleher's (shown in the video at right) cited the beauty of the grounds, the quality of the SummerGlen golf course and the variety of activities as their main reasons for making their move to SummerGlen.

50 WAYS SUMMERGLEN HOMES ARE BUILT BETTER

At SummerGlen, we believe building a great home requires paying attention to the hundreds of little things that mean the difference between average and extraordinary. To demonstrate this attention to detail, SummerGlen has compiled a special report called "50 Ways We Build More Quality Into Your New Home." Check it out... we think you'll be impressed to see the care that we take every step along the way to make sure your new home is the Home Of Your Life.

Here's just a few examples:

Number 9. We use 3000 pound concrete for our foundations--a special blend that does not have a fly ash “filler” that comes in some cement. Cement that incorporates such additives produces a finished product that is not as durable or strong. The fly ash free cement used by SummerGlen is more expensive and a little harder to work with but we think it’s worth it in setting the foundation for a top quality home.

Number 17. We specify that a nail goes in every fastener in our roof systems. If there are 12 nail holes, they get 12 nails. Eight nails might meet code and be “enough” for most builders, but we don’t want to compromise on quality for this important component of your home.

Number 35. We take the time to seal off every air vent during the construction process so your A/C ductwork isn’t infiltrated by construction dust that could be blown out into your new home after move in.

Check out the entire list of 50 Ways We Build Quality Into Every SummerGlen home here.
