Lennar touts affordability of Arbor Ridge homes at Providence

Arbor Ridge by Lennar is one of the most affordably priced neighborhoods within the Providence master plan in the northwestern valley, according to Jeff Galindo, Lennar vice president of sales and marketing.

"The gated, single-family home community is the epitome of chic and style offering a beautiful location, great design and a plethora of included amenities," Galindo said.

Arbor Ridge offers four two-story home designs measuring 1,450 to 1,804 square feet with three bedrooms, 21/2 baths and a two-car garage, priced from the $200,000s.

"I believe people recognize a great value when they see it," Galindo said. "It's no wonder that it is one of our most popular communities."

Arbor Ridge goes beyond an average starter home for first-time buyers, Galindo said. Homeowners enjoy the benefits of this Energy Star-certified community and the included amenities that are a part of every Lennar home.

The "Everything you want, everything you need" philosophy of Lennar creates a home that is complete, ready for move-in with items that include a full stainless-steel kitchen appliance package with built-in microwave and refrigerator with icemaker. Also ready and waiting on moving day are an upgraded washer and dryer and 2-inch faux wood blinds throughout the home. Extensive home prewiring includes CAT-5E Smart Wiring, and prewiring for cable TV, telephone and ceiling fans.

"Arbor Ridge at Providence offers the advantages of single homeownership for less cost per-square-foot than many condos or townhomes," Galindo said. "Homeowners at Arbor Ridge really appreciate the cost savings of our Logic of Lennar Program.

"When you are just starting out, it makes a huge difference when you don't have to budget out of your pocket for necessities like a refrigerator, washer and dryer and window coverings. Our families are finding that they can have the single-family home they want at prices lower than a townhome or other attached-home communities they had previewed."

Galindo said Arbor Ridge has also been attractive to those with busy lifestyles who find the easy-care yard maintenance and the Providence location important factors.

He said one of the neighborhood's most popular floor plans is the Laurel design with 1,621 square feet and a split-level design. An exterior staircase leads to the home's covered front porch entry. The front door opens to a foyer landing that leads up to the home's great room and kitchen, master suite and master bedroom, den/study and guest powder room.

"This is a must-see design that everyone raves about," Galindo said. "The home is so open and bright with lots of windows. The great room living area makes the home seem even larger than its actual dimensions."

The largest floor plan at Arbor Ridge is the 1,804-square-foot Sycamore. This design is accented by a large covered porch entry opening to the living room.

Three other Lennar neighborhoods are also located within the Providence master plan: Hampton Glen, Barrington and Westminster.
