Jacksonville, FL — November 20, 2009 — D.R. Horton is pleased to announce that four of its 13 chic new model homes within its Aberdeen master-planned community are now available for purchase.

Within this elegantly relaxed single- and multi-family community, Aberdeen residents enjoy the best of both worlds: a private retreat, as well as convenience to all the business, educational, social and recreational opportunities the city has to offer. Located in northern St. Johns County, homeownership within any of Aberdeen’s five distinct neighborhoods is as easy as putting a key in the door to your new home.

“Aberdeen offers residents the high level of comfort they seek, as well as a multitude of on-site amenities for their enjoyment,” said Daryl Gilbert, D.R. Horton new home consultant. “Homeowners choose Aberdeen for its prime location, outstanding recreational amenities and great affordability. The community has proven itself to be one of the hottest residential addresses in this area.”

“Aberdeen is spacious, scenic and well planned,” said Gilbert. “It has great access to anything and everything. Visitors to our model homes quickly realize what all the fuss is about.”

This luxurious five-bedroom, three baths floorplan is creatively designed and highly amenitized to maximize convenience and personal space. The foyer gives charming entry to a spacious living and dining room area. The gourmet open kitchen features an optional island, a modern appliance package and generous pantry. It leads to a central breakfast nook located adjacent to an oversized family room (fireplace optional).
