Arden, South Florida’s first “Agrihood,” recently welcomed the nation’s No. 1 homebuilder by volume, D.R. Horton, to the master-planned community. The company plans to offer 120 luxury, single-story paired villas — the first-ever multi-family homes at Arden. Developed by Freehold Communities, Arden has set the standard for healthy, farm-to-table living with its centrally located farm and barn, and also features an array of other amenities.
Each of D.R. Horton’s private villas plans to offer the best in low-maintenance living that includes lawn care and the ability to “lock and leave,” a sought-after feature for seasonal residents. In addition, the company’s future homeowners will have full access to Arden’s farm and the resident farm share, and all of Arden’s amenities, which include two sparkling resort-style pools, a fully equipped fitness center, wi-fi café, club room and more.
“D.R. Horton is a household name with a well-earned reputation for delivering quality homes to homebuyers nationwide,” said Andrew Smith, division president of Freehold Communities. “The company’s vision for single-story villas will add to the continued appeal of Arden — attracting everyone from snowbirds to empty-nesters to families who seek a healthful, relaxing lifestyle.”
D.R. Horton’s elegant villas are expected to start in the mid-$300s with 1,836 to 1,921 square feet of living space that boast three bedrooms, two bathrooms and attached two-car garages. Planned premium features and finishes include stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, tile throughout the entire main living area and impact-resistant windows. The homes will include paver driveways, naturally flowing outdoor walkways and enclosed lanais.
In addition, every home will offer D.R. Horton’s popular new smart home system, a wireless platform that seamlessly integrates with computers, tablets and smartphones and helps homeowners stay connected to their families and home around the clock.
D.R. Horton’s customer sales center and two fully furnished model homes are anticipated to open at Arden in the spring. The company joins a collection of top homebuilders at Arden that include Kenco Communities, Lennar and Ryan Homes. For more info., visit www.ardenfl.com or call (561) 461-5501.
