WCI building 2 new home communities in secluded, natural settings

WCI Communities has opened two new home communities north of Tampa that come with everything the area has to offer: natural surroundings, recreational activities, quality schools and an easy commute to the heart of the city.

Monterey Grand Waterside is in Lutz, while Tarramor is in Odessa. Both communities are popular with residents who appreciate the natural beauty of Florida, coupled with easy access to Tampa, Land O’Lakes and Wesley Chapel. Nearby recreational activities include the Suncoast Trail for biking, nature preserves for hiking, horseback riding and youth sports facilities.

Tarramor offers seclusion and activity

Tarramor is conveniently located near the intersection of Suncoast Trail and West Lutz Lake Fern Road, near the Suncoast Parkway. Secluded home sites offer views of wetlands within the community. A resort-style pool and the clubhouse, which is currently open and includes a state-of-the-art fitness center, are among the amenities.

In addition, families living in Tarramor are located near a number of high-quality schools. The area’s high school was recently ranked among the top three in the Tampa Bay area by U.S. News & World Report.

The homes in Tarramor have four to five bedrooms, many with lanais, bonus rooms, paver driveways and three-car garages. Features include quartz countertops, gourmet kitchens, open-concept floor plans, stainless steel appliances and ceramic tile flooring.

Tarramor’s single-family home prices start in the $500s. The homes in Tarramor Premier are 2,617 to 4,439 square feet, while the homes in Tarramor Estates range from 3,033 to 5,621 square feet.

Monterey Grand Waterside features life on the lake

Monterey Grand Waterside, a waterfront community situated on the 35-acre Lake Mary Lou in Lutz, features the Estates (in Hillsborough County) and the Arbors (in Pasco County).

Students living in The Estates, which is gated, are zoned for Hammond Elementary School, Martinez Middle School and Steinbrenner High School, while those in the Arbors attend Pasco’s Oakstead Elementary School, Charles S. Rushe Middle School and Sunlake High School.

Homes in the Arbors feature granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and paver driveways. Prices start in the low $300s for homes ranging from 1,625 to 3,252 square feet.
