Neal Communities Sells Its 100th Home in Central Park.
 
Lakewood Ranch’s newest community, Central Park, has sold more than 100 homes since opening less than nine months ago. That averages out to 11 homes sold each month. The developer and one of the builders in Central Park, Neal Communities, has opened five of the six neighborhoods within the 380-acre, gated community. The community opened last summer with Forest Park, Piedmont Park and Brickell Park and offered homes up to 2,400 sq ft. The community now offers homes up to 3,000 sq ft and lot sizes that are larger in Gramercy Park  and Claremont Park. At completion, there will be over 800 homes, ranging from 1,040 sq ft to about 3,000 sq ft, with prices ranging from the $130’s to $400’s.

“These homes are excellent value, but more important is the quality of construction and the care and professionalism shown each buyer,” says Pat Neal, president of Neal Communities. “We are pleased with the strong activity in 2011 and of the progess of Central Park so far. Buyers are seeing that now more than ever is the time to act with interest rates at an all time low.”

The focal point of Central Park is the grand park that includes a splash fountain, two dog parks, a pavilion/picnic area, tennis courts, ball fields, playground, butterfly garden, and kiosk. The grand park has hosted several family-friendly events this year and will no doubt see more as interest in the community continues to rise.
