Watercolor Place has both new construction and resale homes, so it pays to compare a builder's current offerings with homes already on the market in the same neighborhood. The villas have no CDD and a low HOA. Confirm current fees with the association, and ask which amenity center serves a given homesite before you commit, since access differs by neighborhood and phase. Most builders ask that you register your agent on your first visit. Contact Janelle Mertins for Watercolor Place listings or a private tour.

  • Janelle is fantastic. We recently were able to sell our home in one week at 1% over asking price.

We closed in one month and are so very grateful for Janelle and her help with the sale of our property.
