Grand openings are a sign of good times at Villaggio Reserve as the local real estate market continues to impress.

While coastal neighborhoods remain hot, western communities are also racking up sales as the Boca-Delray real estate market continues its strong run.

The western  trend continues to be 55+ communities with prices ranging from the mid $200s to over $1 million. Developers are touting proximity to downtown Delray Beach and local cultural amenities such as the Morikami Museum and shopping at the Delray Marketplace.

Villagio Reserve, built by Ansca Homes, celebrated the grand opening last weekend of its third neighborhood since construction on the 55+ community began in January. Ansca has positioned the neighborhood as an elegant community in “America’s Most Fun Small Town”, a testament to the continuing value created by Delray’s downtown entertainment and cultural district.

Villagio Reserve is located on Hagen Ranch Road and Atlantic Avenue, west of Delray Beach.

Each “grand opening” event has marked a milestone. A soft grand opening gave an insider’s first glance at plans for the new community of 598 homes. A formal grand opening was held in December and last weekend’s event marked the opening of a new enclave of 83 homes.  Residences are priced from $270,000 to $400,000.

“We’ve had tremendous sales and unbelievable construction starts,” said Ron Yuter, senior vice president with Ansca Homes. “Six months ago, we had nothing but streets and an entrance. By our grand opening weekend (April 19-20), visitors will see 60 homes under construction. That is a true testament to how excited the Delray Beach community has been about Villaggio Reserve.”

Already Villaggio Reserve has hit the “Century Mark,” selling more than 100 residences since sales began in January.

Every residence will deliver  architectural designs and amenities that elevate “standard” to new heights, says Yuter. Homes feature spacious rooms designed with elegance and style in mind. Design touches and amenities include coffered ceilings, granite counter tops and Kitchen Craft Cabinetry® in kitchens and baths.

Outside, Spanish-Italian designed exteriors, decorative stone driveways and walkways and lush landscaping highlight each home’s place in a development that exudes European styling. Impact-resistant windows and doors provide a measure of safety and peace of mind,

The new neighborhood also will be the closest yet to the Cabana Club – putting residents a short walk to Villaggio Reserve’s lifestyle destination and fitness facility. This 38,000-square-foot town square will serve up a multitude of activities designed to enrich daily life. Residents will enjoy dining indoors or on the covered patio. There will be activities like cards and games, to community or private events in the Grand Ballroom, to surfing free wi-fi on personal tablets or laptop computers.

For the fitness minded, a fully equipped and staffed Fitness Center will come complete with men’s and women’s locker rooms, massage tables, showers and sauna. Yoga, Zumba and other classes will be offered by on-site trainers skilled at customizing work-out routines. Outside, lighted tennis and “pickle ball” courts will be available for day or night play. Nearby, enjoy a game of Bocce ball, or take a dip in one of four pools – all surrounded by an expansive, resort-style pool deck.

Ansca Homes recently held the official groundbreaking for Villaggio Reserve, their newest South Florida retirement community for adults 55 and older in Delray Beach at Atlantic Avenue and Hagen Ranch Road.

 

According to Ansca Homes Senior Vice President Ron Yuter, “We have really nailed it this time for homebuyers 55 and up who are looking for an active, social and luxurious lifestyle. We were excited to officially break ground at Villaggio Reserve recently, and we are even more excited by the enthusiastic response that has almost immediately followed our recent groundbreaking.”

 

Yuter believes the reason for all the excitement about Ansca’s newest residential community for adults is, once again, the home builder’s unique combination of home quality and lifestyle quality.

“Upon its completion, Villaggio Reserve will be an intimate and exclusive community of just 598 homes, surrounded by lakes, golf courses and lush landscaping. It will offer residents more than 38,000 square feet of total recreational area and preferred amenities including a clubhouse with grand ballroom; fitness and business centers; four pool areas; dedicated space for yoga, mah jongg, zumba, massage and more; and six tennis courts. Plus all the things that everybody loves about downtown Delray Beach are just minutes away.”

Prices start at about $300,000.

 

The villas at Villaggio Reserve offer home buyers a choice of nine unique floor plan designs that will be priced from $300,000. All homes will include a garage, a choice of two or three bedrooms and quality features and finishes such as GE appliances, Mohawk carpeting, Moen fixtures and KitchenCraft cabinetry. Delray Beach has been described as one of the best places to retire in Florida.

 

Pre-Grand Opening at Villaggio Reserve is scheduled to be held in October. For more information about Villaggio Reserve, call the sales hotline at (855) 230-1858 or visit their website: https://www.villaggioreserve.com.
