For natural Central Florida amenities and quiet 55-plus suburbs, Sun Ridge is worth checking out
55-plus neighborhoods and other subdivisions
Sun Ridge offers homebuyers access to wildlife amenities, grocery stores and local eateries. Homebuyers appreciate the area because it is an easy commute to Orlando and Tampa. Sun Ridge includes two 55-plus neighborhoods of manufactured homes as well as subdivisions with single-family ranch-style and contemporary houses. “The area has a good community vibe. People walk down the street and meet their neighbors and know them,” says Teri Markley, a broker salesperson with Century 21 Watson & Myers Realty. She has sold homes there for 29 years and used to live in the area.
Manufactured houses, ranch styles and bungalows
Many folks buy into the co-op housing in the Oakwood Estates 55-plus community. The mobile home park’s 1980s steel-frame houses are valued between $90,000 and $160,000. The neighborhood offers lifetime leases without monthly rent. The gated community’s amenities include two solar-heated swimming pools, a tennis court, a mini golf course and cable TV.
