Protect Your Florida New Homes with these Hurricane Safety Tips
Posted by on June 21, 2011 | Comments
It’s official: Hurricane season has arrived. According to the State of Florida Division of Emergency Management, more hurricanes make landfall in Florida than any other state in the U.S. Are you prepared? What do you plan to do to protect your family and your Tampa, Lakeland or Orlando new home?
Below are some hurricane safety tips to help you protect yourself and your home.
Develop a family disaster plan: When the hurricane hits, where will you go, how will you get there and how will you care for your pets? The disaster plan will help you answer these and other questions.
Build a disaster supply kit: This should include everything your family will need for three days (as long as it may take disaster relief workers to reach you with supplies). Suggested items include water, food, medicine, important legal documents, clothing, pet supplies, flashlights, extra batteries and something to keep you entertained such as non-electronic games.

Lakeland Homes Reflect New American Home Style
Posted by on May 18, 2011 | Comments
As the economy begins to recover and more unemployed Americans are getting back to work, we’re starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel for the housing market. In fact, with low interest rates and affordable new homes available, many buyers are returning to the market; but their post-housing market crash home choices are slightly different than before. According to the Yahoo! Real Estate article, “Inside the New American Home,” buyers are no longer looking for all the bells and whistles when it comes to their new home selections, but rather affordability. Here at Highland Homes, our Lakeland new homes reflect the current demands of the housing market.
Utility and Value: New home shoppers are searching for a value, not extra frills. Instead of looking at a home as an investment to be sold in a year, buyers want real estate that they will live in for an extended period of time. At Highland Homes, we offer affordable homes priced from the low-$100,000s with only $99 out-of-pocket. With more than 30 floor plans to choose from, you’re sure to find the life-long home of your dreams. Plus, with a Highland Home, you can still afford the extras such as covered lanais, garden tubs and large, walk-in closets. Read More→
