Arden, South Florida’s first “Agrihood,” today officially welcomed the nation’s No. 1 homebuilder by volume, D.R. Horton, to the master-planned community. The innovative company plans to offer 120 luxury, single-story paired villas – the first-ever multi-family homes at Arden. Developed by Freehold Communities, Arden has set the standard for healthy, farm-to-table living with its sprawling centrally located farm and barn, and also features a vast array of other unparalleled amenities.

Each of D.R. Horton’s stunning private villas plans to offer the best in low-maintenance living that includes lawn care and the ability to “lock and leave,” a highly sought-after feature for seasonal residents. In addition, the company’s future homeowners will have full access to Arden’s farm and the resident farm share, and all of Arden’s second-to-none amenities that include two sparkling resort-style pools, a fully equipped fitness center, WiFi Café, Club Room and more.

Developed and maintained by two experienced, full-time farm directors, Arden’s expansive farm is an amenity for the entire family to enjoy. Residents share in the harvest of fresh vegetables, fruits and herbs that are grown year-round, and have the opportunity to take classes in the barn and volunteer to help plant and tend the community’s crops.

“D.R. Horton is a household name with a well-earned reputation for delivering quality homes to homebuyers nationwide,” said Andrew Smith, Division President of Freehold Communities. “The company’s vision for single-story villas will add to the continued appeal of Arden – attracting everyone from snowbirds to empty-nesters to families who seek a healthful, relaxing lifestyle.”

D.R. Horton’s elegant villas are expected to start in the mid-$300s with from 1,836 to 1,921 square feet of living space that boasts three bedrooms, two bathrooms and expansive attached two-car garages. Planned premium features and finishes include stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, tile throughout the entire main living area and impact-resistant windows.

The company is currently planning a gorgeous selection of impeccable Farmhouse, Coastal Cottage and Spanish-style exterior elevations that feature the same unsurpassed craftsmanship, aesthetic and streetscape appeal that can be found throughout Arden. The homes will include paver driveways, naturally flowing outdoor walkways and enclosed lanais.

In addition, every home will offer D.R. Horton’s popular new smart home system, a wireless platform that seamlessly integrates with computers, tablets and smartphones and helps homeowners stay connected to their families and home around the clock.

D.R. Horton’s customer sales center and two exquisite, fully furnished model homes are anticipated to open at Arden in the spring. The company joins a collection of top homebuilders at Arden that include Kenco Communities, Lennar and Ryan Homes.

Nestled in the heart of Palm Beach County, Arden is conveniently located near Florida’s Turnpike and I-95 with easy access to South Florida’s world-class golden sand beaches, renowned dining, shopping, entertainment destinations, and much more.
