Barrett's Take on Summerlake Estates

Here is my take on Summerlake Estates: gated, small, no CDD, and real lot sizes. If you want privacy and a quiet street without moving out to acreage, this is one of the better setups in Polk. What I would check: limited homes remain, so ask which homesites are left and what is behind them. The current reductions plus the Fall Sale closing cost help can stack in your favor if you contract before the deadline. Compare the builder lender against an outside lender. You can bring your own agent on a new build at no added cost to you. I help buyers compare plans, lots, and incentives and stay on top of the builder through closing.
