Signed a contract right after the first of the year. We had looked all over Lakewood Ranch but Cresswind just felt like home. Now just waiting for them to build our dream home.
Loved that Community when we visited. Wish we could pull a trigger now on retirement, as that place was nice. And Alyssa rocks!
