CONTENT PROVIDED BY FLORSHEIM HOMES If you're looking for a better lifestyle for less, it's time to check out one of Florsheim Homes' communities in the Modesto region of the Central Valley. While the Bay Area has a well-respected reputation for a vibrant lifestyle, many potential homebuyers have been priced out. The afford- ability crisis is a real issue for those trying to purchase a home in the Bay Area. Based in Stockton, the Florsheim Homes team under- stands how to develop a "sense of place" in their communities, and how to deliver a strong sales price value. "We are thrilled to introduce both Icon at Inspiration and Rose Verde this year," states Randy Bling, president of Florsheim Homes. "Both neighborhoods are extremely commut- able to Highway 99 for easy access to the Bay Area and local attrac- tions alike." Compared to a new home in the Bay Area with a median price in July of $898,880, you can invest in a stun- ning new home in one of Florsheim's commu- nities for sales prices ranging from the high $300,000 range to the high $400,000 range. The Florsheim family has built throughout the Central Valley for 35 years, creating cutting- edge new home designs in coveted neighbor- hoods. Customers report that the included features are surprising, and are always amazed that the solar electric system is an included standard feature. Many builders charge extra for this or the customer has to lease the solar panels and equipment. Energy savings are substan- tial in the Central Valley. Whether it is a concern for monthly costs or hiring top-level architects to design the homes themselves, you will find that Florsheim Homes has a deep understanding of the big picture and how to build a community from the ground up. Icon at Inspiration (3112 Vintage Drive, Modesto) features six brand-new floor plans and four exterior styles: Spanish, Regency, Cottage and Traditional. Since the grand opening in July 2019, thousands of visitors have toured the decorated models, setting an all-time record for customer interest. At Rose Verde (2433 Wisteria Lane, Turlock) a myriad of possible floor plan configura- tions are included in the five plans offered. Both communities are walkable to spectacular retail services. From Icon at Inspiration you can walk to the nation- ally acclaimed Vintage Faire Mall, and from Rose Verde in Turlock, residents can stroll to big-box retailers like Home Depot and family restaurants. Enjoy modern features, family-friendly floor plans and an expert sales team, all making your selection process more fun. "Every time we can provide housing that people can really afford, and help folks have a life besides just work- ing to make their house payment, then we have achieved our goal," concludes Bling. Known for diligently understanding each region and the ever- changing homebuy- ing culture, Florsheim Homes' floor plans reflect a builder with experience and impec- cable attention to detail and quality.
