ORLANDO, Fla. --- The popular active adult community, Del Webb Orlando located in Davenport, hosted more than 1,000 prospective homebuyers at the recent grand opening premier of three new designer-decorated model homes. Sean Strickler, vice president of sales for Del Webb North Florida Division, said, “It’s not surprising that the model grand opening yielded such an overwhelming response.

The new plans range in size from 1,133 to 2,188 square feet, with prices starting at $159,990 “Our new consumer inspired home designs are the result of extensive consumer research on how boomers live and what they want in their homes. It represents an exciting, fresh direction in home design, incorporating natural light into the living areas and more usable space, including functional storage and loft designs,” added Strickler. Strickler added that this time of year is very busy for many homebuilders in Florida as buyers from the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern states escape the winter weather and begin shopping for a home. “Many of the homebuyers who visited Del Webb Orlando are shopping for a second home or lining up their future home in retirement a few years early.” Del Webb Orlando also features five additional model homes from their Classic Series of home designs that offer even larger home sites and living spaces ranging from 1,600 to 2,831 square feet, with prices starting at $198,990.
