“Our home builder partners at Vistera of Venice are offering a selection of exceptional home designs that provide the quality, comfort, and amenities that homebuyers highly desire in new-build homes,” said John A. Neal, president of Neal Land & Neighborhoods. “The community includes maintenance-assisted landscaping managed by the Association. This will give residents more time to enjoy Vistera and provide a sophisticated, uniform, and welcome streetscape.”
All three home builders are participating in the Parade of Homes hosted by the Suncoast Builders Association, running through March 29, 2024.
Vistera of Venice is a gated neighborhood with 582 planned single-family homes. It is designed to offer resort-inspired amenities and proximity to various outdoor recreation and activities. The community’s amenity center, coming summer 2024, will include a fitness center, a game room and lounge, a pool, a yoga lawn, free community bike share, and an event lawn. Half of the community will consist of lakes, wetlands, and open green areas.
Neal adds, “More than ever before, there is demand for amenity-rich and thoughtfully planned communities to live in. When you factor in a prime location near the Gulf Coast and nearby business development and services, it’s expected to see a nearly equal level of interest from local and out-of-state homebuyers.”
