Bridgewater Bay hits 350 sales mark

"The fact we built our amenities up front and recently unveiled our furnished models has really helped in our sales effort," said Wood. "Our location on Orange Blossom Boulevard east of Airport-Pulling Road has been another contributing factor. It's been attractive to buyers who want to be close to the beaches, restaurants and shopping centers."

The community's 36,000-square-foot triple clubhouse, The Club at Bridgewater Bay, includes a fitness center, lifestyle orientation area, social center, multi-media room, meeting rooms and a full-service catering kitchen in the interior. Outside amenities include a fitness pool, resort-style pool, covered pavilion, gazebo, gardens, tennis club, playground, walking and bike paths, open green area and lakeside beach area. The lifestyle center facilities encompass a total of 116,000 square feet.

"Sales have been strong in each of our four neighborhoods with those featuring garden homes and carriage homes selling the fastest," said Wood." Those two product types, which we have the most of, represent about 70 percent of our sales."

Wood added, "Although today's buyer may be spending less than they might have if the economic conditions were different, they are still demanding floor plans that have many upgrades as standard features. In other words, they're looking for real value."
