6 Reasons to Build Your New Home in Auburndale at Juliana Village

Originally published September 9, 2020

When deciding on a new neighborhood or city to call home, numerous factors are taken into consideration and for many, it helps to hear what the current residents have to say about the community they live in. So, we went straight to the experts – the homeowners at Highland Homes’ Juliana Village, a neighborhood of luxurious new homes in Auburndale, FL where homes are now available in Phase 3.

Here are the top reasons homeowners told us they love living in their new home at Juliana Village in Auburndale.

1. Location and landscape

Homes at Juliana Village are surrounded by open space and nestled between Lake Mattie and Lake Juliana, creating a peaceful enclave with a wonderful cross-breeze on warm Florida nights. In this beautiful setting, you'll feel tucked away from everyday hustle and bustle yet near your daily necessities, highways (more on that below), and recreation.

You are less than 1/4-mile from the Lake Juliana public boat ramp where you can drop in your boat and spend a peaceful afternoon fishing. You can enjoy even more of Central Florida’s beauty with nearby parks and recreational areas. Whether strolling, skating, or biking on the Van Fleet Trail or Auburndale’s TECO Trail, playing a game at Lake Myrtle Sports Park, or enjoying the playground and shaded green spaces at Auburndale’s Downtown City Park, there’s plenty of outdoor fun to be enjoyed close to home.

2. Peaceful solitude

One homeowner told us she enjoys coffee on her porch every morning "just to listen to the still nothingness.” 

Thanks to the location tucked between the lakes and a large conservation open space area at the north end of the community, homeowners at Juliana Village enjoy peaceful silence and the sounds of Mother Nature. And, there is limited land adjacent to Juliana Village that is available for future development, lending itself to maintaining the serene atmosphere we've created here.

3. Gated community entrance

According to homeowners at Juliana Village, the gated entrance is one of the best parts of living here, and a big contributor to the peaceful solitude.

The gated entry helps keep traffic to a minimum, limiting it to homeowners and their guests. This provides an added level of privacy, safety, and security, along with limited noise pollution.

4. Spacious homesites

Homesites at Juliana Village average 80-feet in width and almost 1/4-acre in size. For homeowners, this means a pleasant amount of yard space with privacy and distance between homes.

Another benefit of a large homesite? Space for a backyard pool paradise! Many homeowners tell us this was a big part of the reason they choose to build their new home in Auburndale at Juliana Village. If a pool is on your wish list, you can even add this during the construction of your new home so it's ready to enjoy the day you move in!

5. Proximity to I-4 

Located just two miles from I-4, Central Florida’s main artery between Tampa and Daytona Beach, the tranquil atmosphere of Juliana Village is just a short drive from big-city employment and theme park fun.

A 24-mile cruise on I-4 Eastbound puts you in the Walt Disney World Resort area on the outskirts of Orlando, 16.5-miles on I-4 Westbound lands you in Downtown Lakeland, or keep going west to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa, a 40-mile drive which feels even shorter thanks to highway speeds. You’re closer to big city activities than the GPS lets you think and at the end of each adventure, the blissful solitude of Juliana Village is ready to welcome you home.

6. Beautifully designed homes

Homes at Juliana Village not only provide outdoor living space with their large yards, porches, and lanais; they include ample room indoors, as well. More than ten home plans are available to choose from with 1,878 to 3,315 square feet of living space including 3 to 5 bedrooms, 2 to 3.5 bathrooms, and flexible use rooms such as loft bonus rooms, dens (hello, home office!), and optional in-law suites available on select home plans. One of the most popular home plans among homeowners at Juliana Village is the Waylyn thanks to its thoughtful design with exquisite curb appeal, flexible interior layout options, and a 3-car garage.

Once you've selected the perfect home plan for your needs and the beautiful homesite you would like to build it on, the professional designers at the Highland Homes Personal Selection Studio will assist you with selecting the features and finishes to personalize your new home to your unique style.
