ROCKLEDGE - Home buyers have a new reason to buy at Phillips Landing, one that will become increasingly attractive as the weather gets warmer.

The Condev Homes community has opened its swimming pool area, which features a beach entry, a mushroom water feature and water rings.

"The kids are having an absolute blast," said Peter Gardner, vice president of the company.

Condev is launching the third phase of the community, which includes home sites at the rear of the development. Lakefront sites are available.

The third phase includes four new floorplans, some featuring a three-car garage for the first time.

The addition has proved popular at the community, which is attracting first-time, move-up and even some downsizing buyers.

"It's a really family-friendly floorplan," Gardner said of the Charleston layout featured in the model home, also the site of the sales center.

Three-car garages give families room for children's toys and bicycles, or an extra car for a teenager.

Homes with the larger garage start at about $250,000.

Condev's Cottage Series, also available in the neighborhood, offers a smaller and more affordable option for young couples or retirees who want a smaller home to maintain.

Gardner touts the safety features of the neighborhood, which has only one entry.

Condev also is installing security cameras at the pool area.

The builder is emphasizing green features in its homes, promoting the cost savings of energy efficiency.

"It saves thousands over the years," Gardner said.

Condev offers some customization on the floorplans.

"We really try to work with the customer," Gardner said. "People have various needs and we want to be able to meet them."
