Many home buyers these days are very interested in new construction projects that combine attractive floor plans with spacious lots and quality of life. Such important aspects of an ideal suburban lifestyle can be found at Del Tierra in Bradenton, a new subdivision located in the northeastern portion of Manatee County.

Del Tierra is being developed by two established home builders: D.R. Horton and Express Homes. These two developers are working together to create a neighborhood with about 600 single-family homes. To this effect, house hunters have 11 attractive floor plans to choose from, which are currently priced from $250K to $375K. These are introductory prices; they are bound to increase by the end of 2015.

The single-family residences at Del Tierra are ideal for home buyers looking for spacious, brand new properties located in a quiet neighborhood with lots of nature to enjoy. All homes at Del Tierra feature at least three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The base model is the Laurel, which features an interior space of 1,844 square feet. The most spacious model is the spectacular Elincourt, which is a two-level, five bedroom home with nearly 4,300 square feet of air-conditioned space; this floor plan will benefit extended families and Millennial Generation residents who live with either elderly relatives or adult children.

All homes at Del Tierra are being built with quality design and energy efficiency in mind. Three grades of insulation are applied throughout the house, and the modern HVAC system is regulated by a smart thermostat. The roofs, doors and windows are all storm-proof, and the stucco exteriors feature raised and contrasting textures.

As a modern gated community, Del Tierra offers underground utilities as well as amenities such as a swimming pool, clubhouse and playground. Eastern Manatee County is known for its abundant Florida nature; Del Tierra is just minutes away from the pristine Lake Manatee State Park. Driving to the nearest shopping center takes about seven minutes, and Downtown Bradenton is about 30 minutes away.
