APOLLO BEACH, Fla. --- Del Webb Southshore Falls homeowner Bruce Davis is a noted author, lecturer and gymnastics trainer whose life long passion got its start thanks to the guidance of his sister – three-time Olympian Muriel Grossfeld – in Indianapolis.
Now Davis and his wife Rita have owned and operated FlipFlops & Fitness at 328 Apollo Beach Blvd. in Apollo Beach for the past 11 years, and Davis is still paying back his famous sister.
Though he competed in college at South Connecticut State University in New Haven, Davis never made the Olympic team, the Holy Grail of gymnasts. But he’s done the next best thing---training Olympians and inspiring thousands more to excel in gymnastics.
Flip Flops & Fitness is located just five minutes from their Del Webb Southshore Falls home, one of the many advantages of the active adult neighborhood.
“We love our neighbors, I’d have to say that’s the biggest appeal at Del Webb Southshore Falls,” Davis said.
At FlipFlops & Fitness, the Davises offer children from preschool to teens training in gymnastics and tumbling geared for competition and cheerleading. He conducts 21 classes a week with 4-8 children in each class.
Davis, who earned his Bachelors Degree in Health and Physical Education from SCSU and a Masters Degree from Ohio University at the age of 21, taught and coached at Miami-Dade Community College North Campus for 33 years before retiring as Professor Emeritus in 1999.
While teaching in Miami, Davis opened Gymiami, a private gymnastics school, where he trained Olympian Kurt Thomas and national team member Cathy Shotwell. He took a one-year leave from Miami-Dade to pursue another passion as the managing editor for International Gymnastics magazine further wetting his appetite for gymnastics journalism
He currently serves on the Board of Directors of the World Acrobatics Society and is an internationally recognized authority on gymnastics.
The Davises were drawn to Del Webb Southshore Falls by the upscale features and barrel tile roofs and the fact that all homes are built to meet or exceed the tough Miami-Dade code.
“We enjoy our home at Del Webb Southshore Falls very much and appreciate the PulteGroup for putting it here,” Davis said.

SeaGate Homes Expands its Building Program by Buying Lots and Laying Groundwork for New Model at Palm Coast’s Hidden Lakes Community
PALM COAST – SeaGate Homes, Flagler County’s largest homebuilder, has purchased lots in the Hidden Lakes community of Palm Coast and plans to start construction next month on The Hibiscus, a new 1,900-square-foot model.
Priced from $178,990, the professionally decorated Hibiscus will feature a great room and open kitchen with a separate café opening to the lanai, according to Michael Sawdai, vice president of operations.
“Homebuyers can choose to build their home as a three-bedroom, two-bath, or as a two-bedroom with a den,” he said. “It’s a great plan for families who want flexible space or may not need a designated third bedroom.” Sawdai said other features of the open-concept model home include a side-entry garage, a large covered lanai, stone front, wood floors, granite kitchen countertops, crown molding, and a Roman tub and oversized walk-in shower in the master suite.
In addition to The Hibiscus – the company also will offer 11 other floor plans. SeaGate’s prices will start in the $150s.
The model and a lakefront spec home with the Hibiscus floor plan that will get underway soon are among 375 homes being built in the planned-unit development east of Old Kings Road near the south entrance of Palm Coast’s Town Center. Homebuyers at Hidden Lakes will have access to a future community pool, playground, nature trails, hundreds of acres of conservation area and more than half a dozen lakes, Sawdai said.

Margie and Richard Trostheim of Cedar Falls, Iowa Feted as 500th Home Buyer at Del Webb Southshore Falls in Apollo Beach
APOLLO BEACH, Fla. – Margie and Richard Trostheim of Cedar Falls, Iowa, were recently feted as the 500th home buyers at Del Webb Southshore Falls, the historic active adult community located at Shell Falls Drive in Apollo Beach.
The soon-to-be retired couple plans to move into their new home at Del Webb Southshore Falls in July, said Sean Strickler, vice president of sales and marketing for the Central Florida division of Del Webb Communities.
Richard Trostheim is retiring from a career as custodial supervisor at the University of Northern Iowa and Margie is retiring from the same university where she has been a clerk for many years. Del Webb Southshore Falls appealed to them for the warm weather and nearby golf.
“We have been looking forward to this for many years,” the Trostheims said.
For the Trostheims, the safety features, planned activities and friendly neighbors proved an irresistible lure.
“There is something interesting to do every day and the home owners we met here are friendly, happy and engaging,” Mrs. Trostheim said. “We have already met friends and we are looking forward to being neighbors,” she said.

Stirling Sotheby's International Realty Market Report Shows Alaqua Lakes Homes are Holding Their Value, although Sales are Down
LAKE MARY - Alaqua Lakes, the luxury country club community located at Lake Mary Blvd. and Markham Woods Road in Seminole County, appears to be holding home values better than most neighborhoods in central Florida.
Cassandra Levine, luxury homes specialist at Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty and Alaqua Lakes community specialist, said seven luxury homes have sold during the first six months of 2010 at an average sale price of $977,942. In 2009, Alaqua Lakes saw sales at a lower average price of $868,153, Levine said.
The highest sale price for the first half of the year was $1,264,000, but it’s lower than the $1,475,000 highest sale reported in 2009.
Thirty-three luxury homes at Alaqua Lakes were listed for sale during the first six months of 2010, Levine said, compared with 45 in 2009.
Sellers are reducing their asking prices, but only slightly, Levine said.
“In 2009, the average asking price listed was $988,330. Today, the average asking price is $1,070,948,” she said. That could change, but not much.
”The difference between the average asking price and the average sale price is less than 10 percent,” Levine said.
“There’s some room for negotiation, but Alaqua Lakes was well-established before the real estate downturn and asking prices are very realistic here,” Levine added.

Cassandra Levine, luxury homes specialist at Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty and Alaqua Lakes community specialist, said seven luxury homes have sold during the first six months of 2010 at an average sale price of $977,942. In 2009, Alaqua Lakes saw sales at a lower average price of $868,153, Levine said.
The highest sale price for the first half of the year was $1,264,000, but it’s lower than the $1,475,000 highest sale reported in 2009.
Thirty-three luxury homes at Alaqua Lakes were listed for sale during the first six months of 2010, Levine said, compared with 45 in 2009.
Sellers are reducing their asking prices, but only slightly, Levine said.
“In 2009, the average asking price listed was $988,330. Today, the average asking price is $1,070,948,” she said. That could change, but not much.
”The difference between the average asking price and the average sale price is less than 10 percent,” Levine said.
“There’s some room for negotiation, but Alaqua Lakes was well-established before the real estate downturn and asking prices are very realistic here,” Levine added.
