Single family homes and villas will be available in ‘age-preferred’ community.
Construction of homes is expected to begin soon in Huntington Village, a new development west of Interstate 95, which is designed for 172 single-family homes and 155 villas. Though actually located in unincorporated Flagler County, it has an Ormond Beach address and the access roads are Shadow Crossing, same as Hunter’s Ridge, and Airport Road.
Central Florida-based developer Howard Lefkowitz calls it a “lifestyle community” with maintenance-free living, social activities and recreation.
Although the development is adding rooftops to the area, it doesn’t necessarily means added population. Lefkowitz said many times people want to downsize, but stay in the area, and Huntington Village will offer homes from 1,800 to 2,500 square feet. Prices will range from the “high one hundreds to the high two hundreds,” he said.
He expects to get some retirees from the north, however, as well as some people escaping the congestion of South Florida.
All lawn, irrigation, exterior painting, etc., will be provided in the mandatory maintenance contract. Though an attractive place to retire, it will not be age restricted.
“We call it age-preferred,” he said. “We prefer 55 and over.”
Lefkowitz said 20 homes should be complete this year and pick up substantially next year.
Construction of the club house and swimming pool will begin this fall, and the villas in the first quarter of 2016.
The 12,500-square-foot club house will have a full-time manager, activity rooms, a great room for events and parties, and recreation including bocce ball, pickle ball, yoga, aerobics, etc.
Lefkowitz said a person will be on staff to help residents with special requests, such as moving a heavy object or changing a light bulb that is in a high location. They will also have a contractor for repairs, so residents won’t have to call around to find someone.
He said the fee will be in the mid-range of comparable developments.
Though based in Central Florida, Lefkowitz has been the developer for several Volusia County projects, including DeBary Woods, Saxon Ridge and Pine Trace.
