Solstice suits buyers who want a gated setting, a builder name they recognize, and amenities close to home, whether they prefer a villa or a single-family house. New construction in Solstice is sold out, so homes become available only as resales. Before buying, confirm the details the community summary does not cover: HOA fees and what maintenance they include, whether any age restrictions apply, and whether amenity access requires a separate club membership. Reviewing HOA documents early makes the process smoother. Contact Janelle Mertins to ask about resale opportunities in Solstice and to arrange a private tour.

Janelle is fantastic. We recently were able to sell our home in one week at 1% over asking price. I believe that the professional photos and staging coupled with Janelle helping us price competitively led to this success. We closed in one month and are so very grateful for Janelle and her help with the sale of our property.
