Buying a Home? Choose Your Own DeLand Adventure
If you’d prefer a guided tour of the new construction terrain, schedule a consultation with experienced local real estate professionals.
Southern Exclusive Reality’s incredible team is part of the local construction and developer network, which means we can often negotiate deals that walk-in buyers don’t have access to. So feel free to connect with us for a pre-house hunting consultation, and we’ll give you shortcuts that take you to your most ideally matched destinations.
Now, let the adventure begin…
First Stop: Lakewood Park (Ryan Homes)
Nature lovers are excited about the Lakewood Park development. With easy access to Orlando and other metropolitan areas, this development is most celebrated for its surrounding nature preserve and conservation areas. A fair number of the homes have immediate water and nature views.
It’s a perfect place for empty nesters to downsize or for first-time homebuyers and growing families to enjoy a slower pace and a slice of sanity without straying too far from civilization.
Ryan Homes designed six different home models, including both one- and two-story options, ranging from 1500 to 1800+ square feet. Every home boasts regal 9’3 ceilings and top-of-the-line upgrade options. Plan prices range from $331,990 to $459,990+.
Stop Two: Pelham Park (D.R. Horton)
From the wilds of Florida conservation land, we head back into the city, arriving at Pelham Park. This community is located adjacent to DeLand’s historic downtown district, known for its gorgeous murals and boutique shopping and dining. It’s also just a short drive from Stetson University, Florida’s oldest private college.
While Pelham Park enjoys immediate proximity to downtown conveniences, residents will enjoy the community’s well-rounded design, including a large open green space, a pond, and winding pedestrian-friendly paths.
With blueprints ranging from 1500 to 1400+ square feet – and standard options that include Smart Home technology, stainless steel appliances, and storm-proof all-concrete block construction – the Pelham Park community offers a perfect blend of historical, family-friendly charm with contemporary luxuries. Prices range from $318,990 to $362,990+.
Stop 3: Beresford Woods (Landsea Homes)
Now that we’ve enjoyed a dose of downtown life, it’s time to find a middle ground with a visit to Beresford Woods. This community is “coming soon,” so now’s the time to locate your ideal lot and floorplan. With quick access to I-4, Central FL GreeneWay, Hwy 17-92, and SR 429 (Western Beltway), Beresford Woods provides an ideal balance between nearby modern conveniences and opportunities for experiencing Florida’s natural beauty.
Lake Beresford Park is only two miles away. In combination with other area parks, Beresford Wood offers residents ready access to picnicking, hiking, boating, fishing, biking, and a 1.8-mile multi-use trail that connects to the Spring-to-Spring Trail and beyond.
This Landsea Homes development offers 14 different floor plans, so there is nothing cookie-cutter about it. Home sizes range from 1500 to 4400+ square feet, including single- and multi-story options, and with all of the most contemporary upgrade options. Their website also features a Mortgage Calculator to help prospective buyers get a prequalification.
Stop 4: Lincoln Oaks (Ashton Woods)
Lincoln Oaks is a luxurious and restful stop along our journey. Their five floor plans were designed with impeccable standard finishes, using easy-to-love design palettes across a wide variety of styles curated by their in-house designers.
While the Lincoln Oaks community is located just outside of DeLand, it is still within walking and biking distance from downtown. However, residents will feel like they’re living in a Florida paradise, surrounded by abundant greenspaces that include a beautiful community trail leading to a private pool and cabana.
Lincoln Oaks homes are available in single- and two-story models, ranging from 1637 to 2732 square feet. Prices start at $395,000, exemplifying the upscale options considered as part of their standard design package.
Final Stop: The Reserve at Victoria (Kolter Homes)
Kolter Homes plans to open The Reserve at Victoria this fall. This Community is located in a large span of open space just five miles from DeLand and Stetson University and a compelling 20 miles from New Smyrna and Daytona beaches. The perfect combination of turf and surf.
In addition to floorplans ranging from two to five bedrooms and offering Kolter quality features and finishes, buyers can work with the developer’s upscale design professionals to personalize their home’s structural options and finishes.
The Reserve at Victoria also boasts a community clubhouse with tennis courts, a gorgeous pool, a fitness center, and a playground. Prices have yet to be released, but interested buyers can join their VIP sales information list.
