Beazer Homes offering free blinds, washers, dryers and refrigerators at Sawgrass Village in Pinellas Park

TAMPA - Beazer Homes recently opened two ready-to-move-in town homes and started construction of six more at Sawgrass Village, located on 49th Street south of Park Blvd. in Pinellas Park.

Kareyann Rhodes, sales manager for Beazer Homes in the Tampa Bay region, said all eight homes will likely sell this summer. To make sure, Beazer Homes is sweetening their offer with free blinds, washers, dryers and refrigerators on the sale of new Sawgrass Village town homes.

But the price range — starting from the $140s for two and three bedroom town homes with two-and-a-half baths and one-car garages — should do the trick without the extra goodies Rhodes said. The town homes range from 1,416 square feet of living space to 1,496 square feet.

Rhodes said Sawgrass Village also features two and three bedroom town homes without garages that range in size from 1,208 square feet to 1,610 square feet priced from $109,900.

All town homes at Sawgrass Village are built with the Beazer’s eSMART features that increase energy and water efficiency and indoor air quality.

Three Avalon Park Groups Join Hands with Schools to Create Community Garden


ORLANDO - Residents of Avalon Park in east Orlando have created a unique partnership to develop a community garden.

Stephanie Hodson, marketing coordinator for Avalon Park Group, which is developing the neotraditional community, said the Avalon Park Property Owners Association is behind the project that includes the Avalon Park Garden Club, Avalon Church and Avalon Park’s schools.

“Property Manager, Tracy Durham, has been organizing all of the details including working with Avalon Church to set aside a parcel of land to be used for the garden,” Hodson reported. “The project will afford students a hands-on opportunity to learn gardening and nutritional skills and a provide place for town home and apartment residents to plant their own vegetables,” Hodson explained.

Hodson said the garden, which will kick off its first planting season this spring, will reserve a special space for a butterfly garden of native flowers.

If all goes well---gardening is subject to the trials of nature, after all---Hodson said the entire Avalon Park community can benefit.

“We hope to produce great vegetables we can sell in our Farmers Market, with proceeds going to the Avalon Park Foundation.”

Ron Schwartz Sells Interest in Park Plaza Gardens Restaurant & Cafe


WINTER PARK, Fla. - Winter Park entrepreneur Ron Schwartz has sold his interest in the award-winning Park Plaza Gardens Restaurant & Café in downtown Winter Park to restaurant partner Mary Demetree.

Schwartz, who acquired his interest in the fine dining restaurant sidewalk café and bar in 2002, guided the landmark facility through major renovations and repositioning as one of the region’s best-known restaurants.

As operating partner, Schwartz developed and expanded sidewalk dining, introduced a contemporary fusion menu influenced by Asian, Middle Eastern and continental cuisine; expanded the restaurant’s accommodations outside the formal garden fine dining room; introduced a trendy martini menu and live entertainment to the sidewalk café, established a region-wide e-mail marketing and social network program, and instituted a server training program that included extended tours of California wineries.

Schwartz’s iconic improvements paid off---last year, Park Plaza Gardens Restaurant & Café reported food and beverage sales in excess of $3 million.

Under Schwartz’ leadership, Park Plaza Gardens has given back to the community donating to many charitable organizations in Central Florida including the Council of 101, Hospice of the Comforter, Special Olympics, Morningstar School, Menello Museum and Boys Town.

Schwartz helped to shape the new political landscape in Winter Park encouraging business development, the closing of Park Avenue for special events, and free valet parking for Park Avenue visitors.

“We have developed a loyal following and I’m sure our friends and neighbors will continue to patronize the restaurant and bar,” said Schwartz.
