Builder Magazine Names Lennar’s Stoneybrook at Venice One of 10 Top-Selling Communities in the U.S.

VENICE, Fla. - Builder Magazine, the leading U.S. journal of the home building industry, has named Lennar’s Stoneybrook at Venice one of the nation’s 10 top selling new communities.

Stoneybrook at Venice ranked as the only Florida community named to Builder Magazine’s Top 10 list and one of two communities in the southeastern U.S., along with Sun City Carolina Lakes in the Charlotte area. The other eight communities are located in southern California, Texas, Arizona, Virginia, the Chicago area and Colorado.

Matt Devereaux, director of sales for Lennar’s Southwest Florida Division, said he was delighted with the recognition and he knows why Stoneybrook at Venice was singled out: “lots of new home sales.”

Lennar recently announced it sold 20 new homes at Stoneybrook at Venice in a June-July six-week period, at prices ranging from $244,900 to $349,900.

Community amenities are a big reason for the strong sales, Devereaux said.

“Stoneybrook at Venice offers all the amenities of an island resort,” he said.

The community center includes a resort-style swimming pool, a kid’s splash pool, and an in-line skating park, a health club with an onsite activity director and four lighted tennis courts, a basketball court, two sand volleyball courts and a multi-purpose sports field.

Stoneybrook at Venice is located off North River and Center Rds. one mile west of I-75 Exit 191.
