Esplanade at the town Center Teams Up with Rock 105 to Host Pool Parties

Jacksonville, Fla. (Sept. 28, 2007) – Jake Mitchell is so happy with his new condominium home at Esplanade at Town Center that is he taking his message to the airwaves, literally.

Once a month, the ROCK 105 Morning Show producer invites current homeowners and anyone who hasn’t yet visited the community, to stop by and enjoy free music, food, games, prizes and the resort-style pool and clubhouse offerings. Esplanade even throws in a $1,000 shopping spree to St. Johns Town Center as one of the many giveaways.

The next party is planned for Saturday, Oct. 13 from 2:30 – 5 p.m.

“Even if you come by just for the free food… but if you were to take a minute and look at Esplanade, you will fall in love with it the way that I did and you’ll want to live here, too’” Mitchell said.

Esplanade is a vibrant community offering residents a maintenance-free and carefree way of living, located just a leisurely stroll from St. Johns Town Center. The consensus among Esplanade’s homeowners is that you can come home to the convenience of the city discreetly hidden away in the quiet of the suburbs.

Lifestyles Realtors’ sales associate Allan Parry, Jr. said Esplanade’s closeout pricing and incentives, paired with the monthly pool parties are already a huge success and have generated many new homebuyers.

“It’s been awesome,” Parry said. “It really brings in a lot of people to see what we are really about. Plus, it helps bring the community together to get to know one another.”

Visitors will notice Esplanade’s resort-style community pool, expansive sundecks, poolside gazebos, outdoor grill and picnic area. A tastefully appointed community clubhouse with media center will play host to football parties when the weather turns too cool for poolside fun.

Jake’s two-bedroom, two-bathroom fourth floor condominium affords lake views and is close and convenient to everything.

“I never leave St. Johns Town Center because I don’t have to. I walk everywhere,” Mitchell said. “My favorite place to eat is PF Chang’s… we walk there for dinner and walk to Publix for groceries. It feels like big city living because everything is right here—food, shopping, dining, entertainment.”

Esplanade offers ten innovative one- and two-bedroom floor plans starting reasonably in the $140s. Nearly 75 percent of the condominium homes have been sold, including all three-bedroom units, prompting a higher demand in two-bedroom floor plans.

Standard interior features include vaulted ceilings with elegant crown molding ?in the living room, 16-inch tile in all foyers, kitchens and baths, superior-grade carpeting options in all bedrooms, gourmet kitchens, stainless-steel appliances, maple kitchen cabinets, granite kitchen countertops, tile kitchen backsplash, paneled interior doors, oversized double-paned windows, elegant master retreats, garden-style soaking tubs, oversized showers, spacious pantries, sound insulation between floors and a sunroom or balcony option.

Esplanade’s 258 homes feature stunning Mediterranean architecture with barrel tile accents, set within a number of stylish four-story stucco buildings. The property also features three elevators and a private parking garage.

Other amenities include a fully equipped fitness center with strength and cardiovascular training equipment, a complete business center and a cyber-café.

Esplanade’s thoughtful design ensures residents will enjoy complete privacy even considering the community’s proximity to Town Center shopping.
