Esplanade Floor Plans- something for everyone.

This community is gated with private roads and once you get through the beautiful landscaping of the main gate, there’s a variety of homes available. Starting with a 1,600 square foot Villa, right up to around 3,000 square feet.

The Roma is the smallest floor plan in the community at about 1,700 square feet. It’s a two bed room, two bath home with a den and a two car garage which makes great use of the space. Owners love it! No Villa overlooks its neighbor’s entrance or front door, so the entrance feels private. The Arezzo is a three bedroom version of it by adding a front bedroom, which takes the square feet up to about 1,926. Both of the villas are spread throughout the community, they’ve proven very popular and all resell well.
