Veranda Palms, Orlando - Florida

It is Park Square homes newest development following on from the success of Emerald Island Bella Vida and Watersong and will feature its Palms series collection of homes which will be aggressively priced from $239,000 - $299,000 making it outstanding value for anybody looking for a brand new community in the Disney area.

Located just 4 miles from Disney and with easy access to the 192 the location of Veranda Palms is second to none, within 10 mins you can be playing miniature golf, go Karting or jet skiing yet the view from your property gives you the feeling you are 60 miles out in the country as it is such a tranquil location next door to the shingle Creek Preserve

This fantastic new Preserve entails over 1000 acres and transports you back to the Florida of the 1800s. As an owner at Veranda Palms you have private access to this amazing project with its playgrounds, nature trails, history trails and beautiful lakes and streams which you can canoe and kayak on just as they did hundreds of years ago

Instead of a clubhouse there will be a 3 acre park with WIFI, a spectacular pavilion, a playground, sports courts, and health trails and possibly a water feature for the children. This will keep the HOA fees down to $125 per month including lawn maintenance which is great value, the homes are also being built with energy saving measures such as thermal pane low E glass to reduce the air con bills and a “Renalli instant hot” water tank so you are only paying for hot water you actually use.

There are 4, 5 and 6 bed models available and the prices include all appliances, blinds on all windows, a screen enclosed heated pool, an alarm system, rocker panel light switches and an upgraded lighting pack.

SOME OF OUR NEIGHBOURS

Paul & Jill’s July 2010 Reveiw

Whilst we have done a lot of sales at Veranda since the back end of last year this is the first time we have visited when a phase of the site is virtually complete. Obviously it gives a much different perspective to when we were last there as other than a couple of spec homes there was nothing to see except the dirt lots which had been marked out. Although you pretty much know what you are getting with a builder such as Park Square Homes it is still quite pleasant to see the finished article and phase 1 did not disappoint. For any of you who have looked at the site map phase 1 is the loop on the right hand side (Dharma Circle) just after the entrance. The most obvious observation that both Jill and myself made is how green everything is around Veranda which is due to the location being on the edge of the Shingle Creek Preserve. You really did feel that this was a development in the middle of a forest area even though you were only 2 minutes from Highway 192.

There is at least one type of each model built now so we did manage to walk through all of the different homes available. Most of our clients had opted for the 2 storey 5/6 bed Queen Palm model as the price with extras was only a little over $300k which for the largest home on the development is great value. I have to be honest though our own favourite was the single storey Beach Palm which is available from $260k and has a fantastic layout. We are probably a little biased as our own home is single storey but when the builder uses the full height of the home and builds into the loft areas to form a cathedral ceiling effect it really does create a feeling of space. The dressing area off the master bedroom also worked really well and the fact that you have a living area at each end of the home means owners / renters who come with large or more than one family need not be on top of each other all of the time. Again the 2 living areas is something that works well in our own home as it has been mentioned a lot in renter’s reviews over the last few years.

All in all the site is going to be every bit as high a standard as you would expect from Park Square and the location is great. The green / country feel is something quite unique and not something we have come across to often selling homes in this area over the last 10 years.
