Jacksonville, Fla. (February 21, 2007) - Mediterranean-inspired architecture, abundant landscaping and five-star resort-style amenities create an award-winning condominium and townhome neighborhood located in one of North Florida's most sought after communities.
William's Walk in Bartram Park is part of what many consider the "new heart" of Jacksonville in popular southern Duval County.

Bartram Park, a 1,250-acre community, is centrally located to St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra and downtown Jacksonville, and minutes away from I-95, I-295 and 9A for all-points access to commerce centers, area beaches, restaurants, and more. Once completed, neighborhood shopping, dining and employment destinations will make this a remarkable community for living.

William's Walk, named after 18th century North Florida nature explorer William Bartram, sits among a pristine six-acre pond with walking trails, gardens and a pet park, encouraging residents to enjoy the outdoors. A large protected conservation area makes up the western front of the community, creating a permanent natural sanctuary for respite and recreation.

It's a perfect blend of urban accessibility and quiet seclusion, and it's no wonder sales have been brisk. With 380 available home sites, 80 percent sold in only 18 months, and it's expected that by the end of the first quarter, remaining sites will sell out. Currently, homebuyers can move in with more money in their pockets. With homes starting in the $140s, generous January incentives pay all closing costs, waive up to two years' homeowner association fees, offer a one-year homeowner warranty and a two-year mortgage interest rate buy down. But act fast; home sites won't last long with these savings.

William's Walk amenities make day-to-day living feel like a permanent weekend. Decks, trellises and a poolside cabana and hot tub flank the gorgeous pool. Residents enjoy year-round use of the heated spa and outdoor recreation with a cozy fireplace, barbeque grills and a screened billiards room. The community clubhouse is a host's dream, complete with a catering kitchen and a cyber café/business center for friendly gatherings or business meetings.

And exercising is easy in the nearby state-of-the-art fitness center. William's Walk is also a gated community, giving residents the peace-of-mind to enjoy their home.
Homeowners can choose from six distinctive one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans ranging from 929 to 1,640 square feet with optional garages. Two-story townhomes with attached garages are also available.

Homes include popular options like a private lanai, ceramic tile in the kitchen, bathrooms and foyer, and an elegant master retreat with spacious walk-in closets and deep soaking tub. The kitchen features 42" European-style flat maple cabinets with black on black appliances, and an indoor utility room is equipped with washer and dryer.
Karen Taylor, a William's Walk homeowner, is happy with her decision. "Because I don't have a lot of time off, I wanted a place that felt like I was on vacation all the time," said this banking professional. "I've been to several resorts and the minute I drove through the gate, it was like I was back in the islands. The immaculate grounds, amazing pool, scenic walking paths…there are so many things to do and see!" she added.

Karen also enjoys the welcoming, established sense of community of William's Walk. "It's very inviting and cozy here," she said, adding that spontaneous neighborhood gatherings "make you feel at home."

Currently, William's Walk is the only completed neighborhood within Bartram Park, making it a smart ground-floor investment opportunity. "It's a great deal, especially when you consider the amenities and the location, said Karen. "I highly recommend William's Walk to everyone I know."
