Neal Signature Homes Model Opens in Waterfront Community

Neal Signature Homes is opening its newest model this week at The Inlets, a waterfront community nestled along the Manatee River in Bradenton.

The Siesta Key model is one of three new floorplans the Lakewood Ranch-based luxury home builder will unveil at The Inlets, with 22-foot high ceilings and an island coastal design theme. It features 3,008 square feet with four bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms plus a den.

“Our new model at The Inlets truly represents the return of the luxury new home market,” said Randy Turkovics, president of building at Neal Signature Homes. “Our plans here are designed with a coastal theme and a high level of features and amenities. With docks in the backyards, these homes can have direct access to the Manatee River and for boaters, it’s a straight shot out to the Gulf of Mexico,” said Turkovics.

Originally developed as “River Isles” in 1958 during the Eisenhower building boom, the community survived through a deep recession in 1960, and laid dormant for more than 20 years.

At that time, developer Ken Keating purchased the property and finished the remaining canals. The community’s master developer, Keating has successfully built many of the homes in The Inlets over the past 14 years through his company Camlin Homes. This year, Neal partnered with Medallion Homes to purchase the remaining 42 homesites, and the revival of the waterfront community is further evidence of southwest Florida’s robust and recovering luxury real estate market.

Neal Signature Homes is currently developing and building on homesites in the Harbour Walk and Reserve sections under the same architectural standards already in place in the popular waterfront community.

The new Siesta Key model and the other new floorplans at The Inlets have a light and airy feel to highlight the ideal waterfront community’s location. Homes here range in size from 2,375 - 3,008 square feet and pricing starts in the high $500s.

Neal Signature Homes is a semi-custom, luxury home builder currently building in Sarasota and Manatee counties. The company is completely integrated to benefit its customers, with its engineering and building team, plus Charlene Neal PureStyle design services and Waterscapes Pools & Spas, the fifth largest pool company in the state.

Neal Signature Homes garners a 99.8 percent positive customer referral rate and is a testament to the customer service offered by parent organization Neal Communities, the area's largest and most established, locally owned and operated private builder. Neal Signature Homes’ honors and accolades include Aurora Awards for models in The Country Club at Lakewood Ranch and Country Club East and many Parade of Homes awards from the Manatee-Sarasota Building Industry Association.
