Resident Testimonial: Meet the Brunner’s

One look, and they were hooked!

We had the exciting opportunity to chat with the first homeowner at Vistera of Venice, Eric Brunner. As word spreads, it becomes clear that this new home gated community truly has it all for individuals and families seeking a fantastic place to call home and a location for a vibrant lifestyle experience that caters to their wants and needs. With a mix of beautiful new homes and villas in Venice, Florida, a variety of acclaimed builders,  resort-style amenities, and a welcoming atmosphere, Vistera of Venice stands out as a premier destination. Let’s explore Eric’s journey and discover what impressed him about this beautiful community.

 

Great value and spacious floor plans

Originally from Missouri, Eric has been in Florida for 10 years and loves it. The thriving professional environment brought him here for work. It’s also the perfect place to enjoy his favorite hobbies, fishing and spending time with his wife, Amy, and daughter Haley. Eric and Amy were living in Boca Raton and looking for an area to settle down with more value for the price. They were renting before buying because they wanted to find the perfect new home with a place to put down their roots and establish a meaningful life for their 2-year-old daughter. His father-in-law told him about Vistera, and he was intrigued. It seemed to check off all the boxes for everything he was looking for to live well – and they absolutely found it at Vistera. Factors in their buying decision included spacious floor plans and price. “We chose a David Weekley home here, and it’s great. There is plenty of room, and we loved the look of the home. The customer experience with David Weekley is second to none. They walk you through every step of the buying process, and they really took care of us,” said Eric. The Brunners decided on a new construction home specifically because they wanted quality craftsmanship and didn’t want to deal with the hassle and poor quality of remodels. Eric loved the overall look and feel of the community as well as its lush landscaping. “It’s beautiful, and we can’t wait until The Vistera Club opens up officially in February. It looks fantastic!” Located in the heart of the community, The Vistera Club will feature luxurious amenities such as a modern fitness center, fireplace conversation area, a resort-inspired swimming pool, yoga lawn, trellis pavilion, a bike-share program, a game room, and more.

 

A+ schools and friendly atmosphere

The location and quality of life were also a big draw when looking for a new home for sale in Sarasota County. “The school district is the best, and our daughter’s elementary school is only a mile away,” he said happily. “We spend a lot of time in Sarasota, and Vistera’s location right off of I-75 makes it so easy to hop in the car and go.” The hometown atmosphere in Venice was also very appealing to Eric and Amy. “Everyone is so nice here.” And we couldn’t agree more. Downtown Venice has great shopping and dining, outdoor recreation, miles of beaches, and fun events that create a sense of connection all year round. And you can experience it too!
