WHY IT WORKED: Located west of fast-growing Orlando, Fla., Summerport manages to marry a neo-traditional look to the untraditional Florida lifestyle.

  • The development is traditional neighborhood development–lite, which allows for popular front-loading garages and a full backyard with room for a pool.
  • Two-thirds of the competition either have back-entrance garages or are townhouses.
  • Accomplished the traditional aesthetic without driving up cost.
  • Summerport is located in an area with natural lakes, ponds, and winding roads.
  • Move-up buyers have access to the under-construction Orlando beltway, which will cut commute time to downtown from 40 minutes to 15.
