Models Underway at Neal Communities' 30th Neighborhood

Neal Communities broke ground recently on two new models at its newest neighborhood in Lakewood Ranch, Indigo.

Neal Communities broke ground recently on two new models at its newest neighborhood in Lakewood Ranch, Indigo. Indigo will be Neal’s 30th community for sale when it opens in May 2015.

An active, adult-themed neighborhood just northeast of Central Park, Indigo will have a total of 453 homes at completion.

“Indigo, our 30th community, will open just in time for buyers looking for a new home in the same ideal location as Central Park,” said Pat Neal, CEO of Neal Communities. “We expect to sell the last of our 826 homes at Central Park this year- about 1.5 years ahead of initial estimates. Our first phase of Indigo will be a perfect replacement for the popular Piedmont Park section of Central Park, and in future phases we will unveil our full lineup of beautiful new homes,” said Neal.
