Southwest Florida – Since opening in February, Neal Communities has sold about 90 homes—that’s almost half of all available properties—and is now introducing a new series of floor plans and unveiled three new models. The homes are priced from $129,000. The gated community, located just west of I-75 between State Road 64 and State Road 70 on Morgan Johnson Road, has become one of Bradenton’s best selling communities.
“We have successfully anticipated the demands of homebuyers in this area and are creating homes they want to buy now,” states Neal Communities’ President Pat Neal. “We see that people are willing to commit to purchasing a home, but do not want to overextend themselves. It’s a restrained optimism.”
The Cruise Series, with the strong names of ‘Spirit,’ ‘Valor,’ ‘Freedom,’ ‘Liberty,’ ‘Glory,’ and ‘Splendor,’ features homes from 1028 square feet to 1936 square feet. The base prices range from $129,900 to $180, 400.
Such patriotic names are appropriate for a community that will be home to at least 40 “Hometown Heroes” and their families. Because of River Sound’s special buyer rewards for those in education, public safety, health care and non-profit work, many teachers, firefighters, deputies, nurses and others have purchased homes in the new community.
“We have found that the River Sound community is attractive to a variety of customers who are asking for homes in this size and price range,” says Area Sales Manager, Jonnie Dwyer. “They like the idea that they can live in a Neal home in a Neal neighborhood at prices never before available.”
Kristen Sckowska and Travis Cochron, who are engaged to be married this spring, are both heroes and future River Sound residents. Sckowska is an orthopedic nurse at Venice Regional Medical Center and Cochron teaches children with varying exceptionalities at Bayshore Elementary. He previously served in The Marine Corp.
Neal Communities also recently announced a program which both prospective buyers and Realtors® can register for a chance to win a $750 voucher towards a three-day cruise. They will be cruising in style while planning for a new home in River Sound.
River Sound is a gated neighborhood of single family homes which include beautiful parks, gathering areas and a trailway with boardwalk. There is also a community pool and spa with sun deck and outdoor barbecue area, children’s playground, two dog parks and a dock on the Braden River. It is zoned for top-quality elementary, middle and high schools.
