Neal Communities Now Building In Arlington Cove

May 5, 2011 - PRLog -- Southwest, Florida – Neal Communities is now building in the Arlington Cove community in Englewood, where villas will be priced from $159,990. The Lakewood Ranch-based homebuilder will complete the community, which will include 76 paired villas, located just off Route 776, south of Jacaranda Boulevard. Arlington Cove is conveniently located within four miles of three white sand beaches, excellent boating, fine dining and shopping, public and private golf and tennis clubs and outstanding health care facilities.

“We see excellent opportunities in south Sarasota County. The timing is good for this community and it will attract people from throughout Florida as well as around the country,” says Pat Neal, president of Neal Communities. “In the past year, we have already enjoyed excellent success in the Sawgrass community in Venice and anticipate more involvement in south Sarasota County.”

The sales center is already on site and in operation, and  two models will open in early June. The Seagrass is 1431 square feet, two bedrooms/two baths with an open floor plan and eat-in kitchen. It is priced from $159,990.  The Palm Breeze is 1557 square feet, two bedrooms/two baths with den, open floor plan and island kitchen. It is priced from $169, 990. Both models have attached, two-car garages.

“This community really appeals to active adults who want a care-free lifestyle, close to everything,” notes Arlington Cove New Home Consultant Paula Spitler. “They are looking for the kind of home values and neighborhood atmosphere that only Neal Communities creates.”

Spitler has lived and worked in the Venice and Englewood area for the past decade. She has experience in construction, new home sales and general real estate. Spitler joined Neal Communities in order to work in Arlington Cove.

Arlington Cove is a maintenance-free community with a heated pool and cabana. Neal Communities bought the property in early 2011 and immediately began model home construction and improvements on landscaping. The sales center is open Monday through Saturday, 10 am to 5:30 pm and Sunday noon to 5 pm. It is located at 27201 Ipswich Drive, 941-323-9363. The models are expected to open in early June.

The town is also home to many service club and social groups.
