 “Our focus will continue to be on our customers – our residents,” Junker says. Providence Homes gives you ways to personalize your home. Many builders have moved away from that in that everything is included, but that means the buyer has no selection. Providence is also changing our construction practices to make our homes more energy efficient and cost effective.   “It truly is the best time to buy a new home,” Junker said.
 “Some of the things we are doing at Greenland Chase are items we felt were missing in the marketplace,” Junker says. “Our first concern was developing curb appeal by eliminating endless rows of look-alike houses with garage-dominated elevations.”

The overall concept began by structuring the community through a master plan that provides affordably priced homes within a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood featuring wide sidewalks, tall trees and an attractive package of amenities.

Walk the wide sidewalks of Greenland Chase under the tall trees, and you’ll soon see what makes this such a wonderful neighborhood. The sidewalks take you past beautiful homes filled with great neighbors, as well as amenities for your whole family to enjoy. Take the kids to the swimming pool, relax in the clubhouse, or play a fun game of tennis. The soccer fields are within easy biking distance—perfect for young athletes—and the playground is a great place for our smallest neighbors. Best of all, thanks to Greenland Chase’s convenient location, you’re likely to have even more free time to enjoy the neighborhood—and your family. The focus by Providence Homes was to provide well though out amenities needs accompanied by nominal fees. “Being nestled in the center of Mandarin we were able to take advantage of many of the existing parks and recreation facilities which attract people to the area in the first place,” says Junker, pointing out that the community backs up to Greenland Park, which just had a new concession stand built including new restroom facilities and roof provided by Mandarin Athletic Association and was partially funded by Greenland Chase. Greenland Park offers numerous youth and adult league baseball, softball, soccer, and football fields, as well as a walking track.
