In this episode of Jim Sells the Suncoast, Jim chats with Eric Ondry and Scott Leventhal of KB Home about the brand-new Heron Glen community in Parrish, Florida. Learn why this boutique development—offering no CDD fees, easy highway access, and fully customizable floor plans—could be the perfect fit for first-time buyers, downsizers, and everyone in between.

Key Highlights

1. Prime Location & Boutique Feel
   • Minutes to Major Roads: Quick access to 41, 275, I-75, and only ~15 minutes to downtown St. Pete via the Skyway.
   • Tucked Away Setting: Quiet, low-traffic streets and only 119 total home sites.
2. Single-Family Floor Plans
   • 7 Options (30' Series): Ranging from ~1,346 sq. ft. to 2,544+ sq. ft., priced from the low $300Ks to under $400K.
   • Personalization: Choose structural upgrades (like extended lanais) and finishes at KB’s design center, rather than settling for basic “inventory” models.
3. No CDD & Low HOA
   • Cost Savings: No community development district fees—rare among new Florida neighborhoods.
   • HOA Dues: $300/quarter covers common-area landscaping, fencing, and more.
4. Warranty & Builder Support
   • 1-2-10 Warranty: Full coverage for one year (workmanship), two years (systems), and ten years (structural).
   • In-House Lender & Insurance: KBHS streamlines financing, and affiliated insurance brokers ensure accurate quotes.
5. Ideal for Various Buyers

   • Upsizers & Downsizes: Multiple layouts, optional customization, plus easy commutes to Tampa, St. Pete, or Sarasota.
