The Florida Times-Union - D.R. Horton/Condos

For shoppers looking to find their dream home, Northeast Florida’s market conditions could not be better. Whether you are looking for a first or second residence, or to enjoy a wonderfully low-maintenance lifestyle, D.R. Horton is meeting consumer demand with its award-winning product lines – most notably, condominium homes.

At a time when many builders continue to focus on offering single-family residences, the nation’s largest homebuilder is offering buyers and renters an affordable alternative to costly construction and time-consuming home maintenance. Priced from the $70s, D.R. Horton’s condominium lines promote the dream of homeownership for less than you can rent.

Currently, “America’s Builder” has over 80 creatively planned condominium styles ready to close by November 30, which gives first-time homebuyers the opportunity to take advantage of the $8,000 federal housing tax credit, remarkably low price points, builder incentives and still-attractive mortgage interest rates.

“As any savvy homebuyer knows, now is the time to cash in on some of the best real estate buys in four years, particularly condominiums,” said Cristy Griffin, senior vice president of sales and marketing for D.R. Horton Jacksonville. “New home selections have never been better. Condominiums offer many diverse lifestyle choices for those whose time is a valuable commodity. A convenient “lock-and-leave” lifestyle is just one of the reasons that homebuyers are attracted to condominium living. Amenities and location are equally as important.”

Well known for building in only the finest communities, D.R. Horton knows well the importance of a great location. With residential offerings in nearly every Northeast Florida county, the builder ensures a comprehensive selection of homes perfect for buyers of all stages of life.
