"It's our long heritage in the Jacksonville area that appeals to most people. Generations of families to come will call Providence Homes in OakLeaf Plantation home."

That degree of care has earned Providence Homes an excellent reputation among Realtors and homeowners.

Outstanding value is another reason for strong homebuyer response to Providence Homes. Prices range from the low $200¹s to $400,000. "Families are already calling, wanting to learn more," said McCreary. "The response has been tremendous."

The model home is currently under construction and is a bright and open 4-bedroom, 3 1/2-bath home situated on a large 70-foot lot. The Pompano is a spacious 2963 square feet with study and dining room. Additional features include a breakfast nook, large kitchen,covered lanai and a combination of 10' plate heights and vaulted ceilings, functional dormers and lots of character. "We have a number of great plans for a family with a lot of livable space, not to mention the great views," said McCreary. "Between the excellent designs, the convenient location and outstanding amenities, the community will literally sell itself."

Boasting a dramatic natural country setting with more than 1400 acres of preservation land and 20,000-acre Jennings State Forest right next door, OakLeaf Plantation also offers the advantages of a 30-acre athletic club with a 6000-square-foot club house, tennis courts, soccer and baseball fields, and fitness center.

There will also be a water park with slides and a children's spray pool. "Anyone who's lived in Florida for any length of time knows how desperately hot the summers can be," McCreary said. "But having the water park plus the sprayground within walking distance make it perfect for families. The children can really have a blast in there."
