Final Parade Weekend At Asturia
T
his is the final week of the tremendously successful 2017 Parade of Homes, sponsored by the Tampa Bay Builders Association. The Parade concludes in just five days — on Sunday, April 30. At Asturia, this means you have eight beautiful model homes available for tour, including two models entered into the Parade of Homes competition. The Ferrara model by Aston Woods features an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, a master bedroom with spacious bath/oversized shower and a gorgeous outdoor living area. The Mendocino model by David Weekley Homes features an open concept kitchen to family room, upstairs retreat and a lanai with outdoor kitchen, pergola and spa. Models are open every day of the week. We invite you to visit us during the Parade to take advantage of our Parade specials and activities. Located in Odessa on State Road 54, Asturia is a beautiful masterplanned community featuring 550 single-family homes, 200 townhomes, 440 multifamily units, up to 380,000 square feet of commercial/office space and 350,000 square feet of office/light industrial space. It’s been just a year since Asturia’s first residents began moving into their new homes. Residents love the community’s fabulous outdoor lifestyle, which includes eco-friendly active and passive parks and expansive trail networks. Asturia also offers an unmatched Amenity Center with a state-of-the-art fitness facility and contemporary-designed community center. Asturia is a community where residents quickly become friends with their neighbors, coming together at family events hosted by the developer, and meeting new friends at the community center, walking and bicycling nature trails, and letting the kids run at Asturia’s playgrounds. In addition to friendly neighbors and excellent schools, new homes continue to go up at a fast pace because of the community’s many home choices and wide selection of home sites.
