Hurry to preview this brand-new community by national developer Bluegreen while you can still enjoy pre-development pricing on all home sites from 1 to 2.5 acres. On this peak just 30 minutes or less from downtown Fort Worth and Dallas as well as DFW International Airport, stroll through your own lush virgin forest of oaks, many towering 40 to 50 feet.
“You’re finally home. You’ve made it to The Summit at Lake Ridge,” said Jim Barbuto, community manager for this gated, custom-home neighborhood south east of Fort Worth. “But if you’re not on The Summit yet, you’d better hurry! We’re offering a limited number of exclusive properties,” Barbuto advised. The Summit at Lake Ridge is the final gated hilltop neighborhood in Lake Ridge, one of hundreds of communities master-planned nationwide by Florida-based Bluegreen Communities over four decades. “Each home site remains nature’s way, untouched, until you decide how and when to build your luxury home there,” said Kristi Robinson, Bluegreen Communities’ marketing coordinator. “You choose your own custom builder,” Robinson said. “You decided which trees to retain and customize the home site to fit your lifestyle. Plus, there’s no time limit to build.” A northeast Arlington couple, both physicians, chose a home site on The Summit’s crest after watching commercial development and traffic volume accelerate around their current neighborhood. “You’re not under pressure to build,” said Dr. Robert McMichael. He and his wife plan to work with their architect of choice to design their Summit home before hiring their own custom builder of choice. “I fell in love with the whole location,” said Dr. Jean Coria McMichael, his wife, citing both career and family needs — with two school-age children — for “easy access over the whole area.” Dr. Robert McMichael said he was also sold because The Summit “feels like country,” with its thick stands of oaks and cedars in a low-density neighborhood. “It’s also beautiful at night. You can see the lights below and across to downtown Fort Worth with no problem at all, and the stars above, too,” he said, “I can see the Mily Way so much clearer than I ever can here from our Arlington home.” “I was very impressed with The Summit.” said Fresno, Calif. Police Lt. Gregg Sanders, a co-supervisor of auto theft investigations. The 48-year-old career policeman and his wife are planning to retire to The Summit in six years to live near two grown children who also recently bought sites in the Lake Ridge neighborhood. “The Summit is a gated community, and I like the special amenities and basic services planned for the community’s future,” Sanders said. A Bronx, N.Y. native who’s still a Yankees fan, Sanders said he also chose The Summit because he’s also an avid Dallas Cowboys fan. The Summit location will give him easy access to the Cowboys’ new stadium, and “I will buy season tickets before we move there.” Barbuto said buyers are building custom homes in the $400,000 to $1 million range. Bluegreen (BXG – NYSE), he announced, is offering special pre-development pricing and financing packages for a limited time. To view The Summit, by appointment only, or for more information, toll-free 888-215-9462. The Summit is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. until dark. Barbuto said The Summit’s limited population provides exclusivity but with easy access to a host of area amenities, including these: • Joe Pool Lake’s 7,500 acres of fishing, sailing, motor boating, skiing and beach swimming, plus neighboring Cedar Hill State Park. • Tangle Ridge Golf Club, a Golf Digest four-star golfing haven. • Area parks with walking/hiking trails, plus natural land preserves, fishing ponds and swimming pools. • 154-acre Valley Ridge Park with ball fields, amphitheater and trails. • Simple commuting with easy access — less than 10 miles — to Interstate-20, plus convenient access to Texas Highway 360 going to Arlington and DFW International Airport and to U.S. 67 going to Dallas and Cleburne. Midlothian, Cedar Hill, Grand Prarie and Arlington are 10 to 15 minutes away. • Public education by the Midlothian Independent School District, emergency and other city services by Cedar Hill. • 10- to 30-minute drives to shopping malls, dining, dancing, museums, live-stage theaters, movie complexes, colleges, hotels/motels, more golf courses, Six Flags Over Texas, American Airlines Center, Bass Performance Hall and numerous other venues. • Sweeping vistas that change little, thanks to the parksm land preserves and the Army Corps of Engineers’ Joe Pool Lake. “You can’t find any other landscape like this in the Metroplex,” Barbuto said. “ I love the quiet under the oak trees. … The Summit at Lake Ridge is taking Metroplex living to a whole new level.”
