I am familiar with a Florida developer named Southern Homes. Is this the same company?

SH Communities, We're building something special for you! said...

Yes, it is the same company you are familiar with. Southern Homes was founded in 1992 by Jerry Aguirre and Hector Garcia and developed communities, commercial properties, and built custom estate homes, single family homes, townhomes, town villas and condominiums. Later, Southern Homes expanded to the West coast of Florida and named that division, Stellar Homes. Then, in 2007, the companies merged into one entity: SH Communities.

Things are happening in Brevard County for SH Communities! In addition to our forthcoming new community called Wickham Place, we are finishing up sales at Lynnwood where only TWO homes remain. They are two of our most popular plans in the Birch and the Hawthorn, and they're priced to move! Sales have really been picking up lately, so do not make the mistake of waiting and assuming that they will still be available. Contact our sales team at Lynnwood today to get more information on these two beautiful homes or to make an appointment to see them for yourself!

Yeah, there’s plenty of resales in NW, SW and west central Broward, most remind me of those ‘million dollar zero lot lines’ or near zeros from Dade to Palm Beach where you can spend anywhere near and well over $1.0 million, but where can I find that ‘brand new” home that I can build to my specifications, or buy brand new and all ready to move in to, with like square footage, but with a real yard anymore? Well, I got lucky!

And I didn’t have to look further than a couple miles south of I-595, a half mile west of 136th Avenue on 26th Street and Bingo! They call it Woodbridge Ranches, a pretty cool name, but a perfect size community of 66 homes where some look like they should be $2.0 million with all the architectural detail you’ll see, amazing. And hey, it’s nice to see that still happening for less than $1.0 million, which includes one of those so called “builder acres” (which I’ll explain next time), but take my word for it, that means a huge, spacious yard! Plus, they’ve got real models to see in a nearby community.

The place is so close not only to 595, but even closer to Weston, Cooper City, etc., etc. The key for me is that I’ll keep the convenience of everything within minutes of our house like we’re used to in Plantation, but, and finally, man I’ve yard space to enjoy, spread out on and distance from my neighbors plus that community feel we’re used to. Now, do I have them build for me or should I buy one ready to live in (like my wife wants) where I can save tons of money (real $$$ too) and time. Never realized they could make it so easy for me!

Hey dbl you are so right, this IS such a great time to be a buyer! Don't wait to buy that home you and your wife have your eyes on, there will never, ever be a better time to take advantage of the offerings SH has waiting for you right now in Woodbridge. You and the next few buyers will be buying at the absolute bottom of the new home market as far as price, but still end up with an amazing home in a superb location, quality of life, lots of land and resale when the time comes. Homes are selling because of savy buyers like you.

They don't make any more land and SH is offering the last of the decent sized residential communities in great Davie locations. Woodbridge has come alive with new residents, beautiful preserves teeming with wildlife, a peaceful, long lake and the lushest equestrian trails around 3 sides of the community. The trail along 26th street is actually a two lane trail with a median of trees and shrubs, inviting whether or not you have horses with you.

Welcome Home!

SH Communities is building a New Home Welcome Center and Model Row in Woodbridge Ranches. What does this mean?

The one-of-a-kind fully furnished fantasy model homes in Grove Creek Ranches are available for sale at surprisingly low prices. If you've ever thought of buying a builder's model, these four are the best values you'll ever see on huge homesites like these, all on a quiet cul-de-sac ....Belmont, Del Mar, Churchill II and the amazing Gulfstream....all award winning designs that can never be duplicated.

It also means that there are fewer 'ready-to-move-in' opportunities in Woodbridge Ranches, the sweet country-like community with every big-city convenience, whose location keeps getting better with the Griffin Road project that includes the new bridge from Orange Drive to Griffin Road on the west end of Orange.

Bottom line, this is the ultimate time to cut yourself the best deal that makes you happy you took advantage of this market, then go on and enjoy life without looking back, whether it's a decorator model home in Grove Creek or one of the limited opportunity inventory homes in Woodbridge Ranches.

SH Communities builds beautiful homes and quality construction. I was in the market in the Miramar area, and I visited all of the other builders in the vicinity- Lennar, Std. Pacific, Centerline, and of all of the communities, SH's Boardwalk was the one with the best value! We found ourselves going back to Boardwalk, over and over again. The models were outstanding, the clubhouse is gorgeous, and community is so well landscaped, it's no wonder we ended up buying there. To top it off, we have an excellent "A" school for our children right next to the community! The sales staff was friendly and more than willing to help out with any questions we had, and the finance went smoother than we ever imagined it would be! We love SH Community homes, and will probably stick with this builder for many more years to come!

First Impressions: Waterside in Boynton Beach, Florida

If you are a buyer looking for a perfect waterfront opportunity do not miss this place!

At the entrance to the community, property owners are met by an arched entryway to this gated development. Once inside the Mediterranean style town homes will lead you to feel as if you have been transported to a small town in a distant country.



Straight ahead an exquisite reflecting pool mirrors the clear blue skies above and mimics the beautiful waters of the Atlantic Ocean. This reflecting pool traverses the entire center court of 4 buildings and leads you to the Waterside Clubhouse which sits directly on the Intracoastal Waterway and affords a beautiful and breathtaking view for all residents to enjoy.



Among the amenities beckoning residents to come and enjoy the clubhouse are the pool and spa deck, fitness room and social area. Start your day out at the clubhouse with a heart pumping work out on the third floor fitness center. If you are not in the mood to shed some pounds or burn calories in the fitness room then head down to the second floor social room with its outdoor terrace and relax with a book or join a group of friends for cards. Need to condense your exercise and relaxations into one visit…go no further! The first floor of the clubhouse is where you can combine the calorie burning effects of swimming with a relaxing nap in the Florida sun and even if you say the weather is a bit too chilly for your morning dip guess again….THE POOL IS HEATED!
