How many Pringle communities are there?
Pringle Development has created and developed several communities in Lake County. Currently, we are
developing Lakes of Mount Dora, The Heritage, and
Legacy of Leesburg. All
incorporate the latest technology in home design and construction and
each has a specific theme that denotes its active lifestyle nature.
What are the themes for each community?
Lakes of Mount Dora is a Florida waterfront community for residents who want to make the most out of their retirement lifestyle. The lifestyle at Lakes of Mount Dora will be fabulous featuring the unique community design and layout, the majority of homesites on the water and the emphasis on water and boating in the community. This Florida waterfront community offers a lifestyle that has everything an active adult could wish for. In addition to the many water themed aspects of the community, Lakes of Mount Dora also has a state of the art Intranet system called NeighborLinks. Lakes of Mount Dora's location is perfect; away from the fast-paced big city, yet close enough to enjoy the benefits that the surrounding cities have to offer.
The Heritage is an intimate, small town neighborhood with sidewalks that wind through private streets. Elegant designed cottage homes with friendly front porches and maintenance free traditional landscaping throughout neighborhoods and parks. In addition to the many traditional aspects of the community, The Heritage also has a state of the art Intranet system called NeighborLinks. Heritage's location is perfect; away from the fast-paced big city, yet close enough to enjoy the benefits that the surrounding cities have to offer.
Legacy of Leesburg features 275 acres of land dedicated to
conservation areas, parks with gazebos and picnic tables, lake space and
mile after mile of walking trails. Anyone deciding to take a stroll on
one of the walking trails will be treated to rolling hills, big oak
trees, cool breezes and the water lazily flowing down the Palatlakaha
River. Also included are several ponds that Legacy residents love to
fish in. If you're not in the mood for the outdoors, you can visit the
19,000 square-foot Town Center Clubhouse which houses a fitness center
and aerobics center. If you'd rather kick back and read, then visit the
library and take advantage of the internet access available.
Home Design and Construction
Can I make changes to an existing model design?
YES! Pringle Development takes great pride in their ability to customize a
home design to meet any of your needs. Pringle can make changes
in the layout and design, putting you in control of
the design process. Whether your lifestyle requires the implementation
of a billiard room to fit your pool table or a multipurpose room for a
crafts area or a home office, Pringle will work hard to meet your needs.
What kind of construction options do you offer in your designs?
Pringle builds quality homes in your choice
of cement block or wood frame construction. Both of these methods follow
the strictest guidelines in construction code to provide you with the
best home money can buy.
Are your homes protected from termites?
Yes they are! Pringle follows sound building practices to
ensure that we protect all our homes against subterranean termites. This
includes placing a chemical barrier between the soil and the foundation
as well as treating the perimeter of the home upon completion of all
construction-related activities. In addition, the termite ordinances of
Lake County are among the toughest in Florida.
Who supervises the construction of Pringle homes?
You will be assigned your own personal builder for the
construction of a Pringle home. Each builder does handle approximately
12-15 homes at any given time, however, having a dedicated builder
ensures that you have one point-of-contact at all times. Your builder
will answer your questions and give you the most up-to-date status of
your home.
Does Pringle work in compliance with any local or state land regulatory agencies?
Our community designs are engineered to the strictest governmental and
industry standards producing the best in community developments. Pringle
Development works with the Department of Environmental Protection, St.
Johns River Water Management Authority, local county water authorities,
state, regional and local governmental commissions and staff to create
regulatory and functionally sound, safe, responsible and efficient
communities.
Warranty
Do you offer a new home warranty?
All new homes in the Pringle communities are delivered with a
one-year warranty against any concerns or construction discrepancies.
For our residents, reaching the warranty department's Red Carpet Service
staff is only a phone call or email away!
What is the Red Carpet Service?
This is a warranty service where a warranty specialist
comes to your home should you require any assistance from this
department. You may see our warranty specialists driving around the
community. Their job is to ensure your satisfaction with your home and its warranty.
