Del Webb Orlando Sells 300th Home

ORLANDO, Fla. – Little did Mike and Edith Senderak know when they decided to buy a new home at Del Webb Orlando that their purchase would come with a “celebrity” status. But, when they recently signed a contract to buy a 1,929-square-foot Vernon Hill home design, they learned that they purchased the 300th home in the growing community southwest of Orlando. The Senderaks, who currently live in Collegeville, PA, checked out more than a dozen communities before buying in Orlando, Mike said. “We went from Arizona to Delaware to Florida before deciding that the spacious and open floor plan of the home, and the uncluttered streetscapes and resort-style feel of the amenities at Del Webb Orlando fit our needs nicely,” he said. And, the community’s proximity to shopping and attractions cinched the deal. The couple – Mike, a Chicago native who works as a computer programmer after a career as a private-practice psychologist, and Edith, a biostatistician who was born in the Philippines met in graduate school at Virginia Tech. Since then, their careers have taken them to Connecticut, Kentucky, Ohio and finally to Pennsylvania. Their home is expected to be completed in early 2014, but with a son in medical school and a daughter in the 7th grade, it will be a few years until the couple officially moves in but believed now is the right time to buy. “We’re looking forward to a variety of amenities there, including exercise classes, tennis, the pool, fitness center and the walking track once we move into the community.”
