Yesterday I visited Caribbean Village, a new single family home community in Venice.  As with the other new home developments in the Venice area, there is quite a bit of activity. One of the best features about Caribbean Village will be the community pool and clubhouse.  The new facility will be set on a peninsula surrounded by a large lake, with several spectacular fountains. Front view of the Caribbean Village club house Site of eventual Caribbean Village community pool Caribbean Village's club house will eventually house a state of the art fitness center and meeting room. Right now there are several spec homes for sale in Caribbean Village that are quick move in or near completion.  To view these listings, or to see floor plans, please visit my website. If you would like to schedule a tour of Caribbean Village and other new home communities in Venice, please contact me.

Most home buyers don't deal with new construction every day. Those of us that do are still amazed at how quickly a new home community can take shape. A good example of this is Toscana Isles in Venice.  Since I first started photographing and writing about Toscana Isles, it has consistently received the most interest from potential buyers, both here on this blog, and on my website . Take a look at the latest pictures.  Neighborhood streets are blossoming. The Toscana Isles clubhouse has progressed as well in just a few weeks since my last update. Toscana Isles has several spec homes available for sale now, which you can view on my website .  Please contact me if you'd like a tour or more information.

Rapalo, the newest new home community in Venice, is taking shape very quickly. The sales center is now open in their first model home.  I am impressed by the open flow of the living and dining area, and the generously-sized eat in area in the kitchen.  It feels like a lot of house for the money. Rapalo homes are budget friendly, and you get some nice upgrades at no extra charge, such as granite in the kitchen and paver driveways. The first phase of Rapalo will sell even more quickly now that the model home is completed.  I wouldn't be surprised to see the best lots in this section sold by the end of the year. Rapalo will have a nice community pool and low HOA fees of $175 per month, with prices starting in the $230's.  Please contact me for a tour or for more information.

I've been getting a lot of interest from home buyers about Rapalo , a new single family home community in Venice. The sales center and model home are progressing nicely. Rapalo sales center in late March 2016 Rapalo sales center and model home in late May 2016 Rapalo sales center and model home in Venice Rapalo will have 109 single family homes with resort style community pool.  Prices start in the low $200's, which is lower than current sales prices in neighboring Ventura Village and Pennington Place .
