Resident Testimonial: Meet the Hendricks Family

How the Hendricks Family Found Their Perfect Home at Vistera of Venice

When Keith Hendricks and his family of five decided it was time to find their next home in Venice, Florida, they already knew they wanted to stay. After more than 20 years in the area, they understood what made Venice special and exactly what they were looking for. “When we were looking for a home to purchase, staying in Venice was important to us because of the school district,” said Keith. “We really wanted to stay in Venice High School district. The school is near my work and one of the top high schools for sports in the nation!” What they found at Vistera of Venice exceeded everything they had imagined. “We drove through Vistera of Venice and immediately felt something special,” Keith says. “The quality of the homes stood out right away and we loved how the neighborhood felt peaceful and quiet while still active and welcoming.” When they saw the amenity center, the decision was made. This was the community they could genuinely see themselves calling home.

The builder and floor plan they fell in love with

The Hendricks family chose David Weekley Homes and selected The Langham floor plan from the Cottage Series. “We immediately fell in love with the spacious primary bedroom and oversized closet,” Keith explains. “The layout just felt right for our family and our lifestyle.” But the home itself was only part of the story. The resort-style pool, the clubhouse coffee bar and the community’s active social calendar led by an on-site event coordinator quickly became central to daily life at Vistera of Venice. “We can grab a coffee and head straight to the pool to unwind,” Keith says. Morning coffee before a pool session, yoga classes, pop-up boot camps and neighborhood social events created the kind of connected community energy that is hard to find and even harder to leave. For a family that loves staying active and spending time outdoors, the location added everything else. The Legacy Trail for biking and walking is right nearby. Venice Beach is a short drive down Border Road. The proximity to I-75 makes Sarasota and Fort Myers equally accessible for any adventure the day calls for.

Their friends and family love the neighborhood

After living at Vistera of Venice, Keith and his family have already recommended the community to friends and family, several of whom have toured homes and understood immediately why the Hendricks chose this address. “Once you experience the neighborhood, it’s easy to understand why we chose it,” Keith says. “It’s truly a beautiful place to live.” Venice itself remains as special as it has always been, a small-town character with great restaurants, local events and some of the most beautiful beaches on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Vistera sits at the heart of everything that makes this city worth staying in for decades.
