One of the great things about Oakmont is that they have model homes that are easy to visit to get a real feel for how the house will fit you and your family. The models are different floorplans and each has a different backyard size and setup to simulate different needs and how the homebuilder can help to meet then for the customer.
Give us a call before you visit, though, to set it up so we are able to help you navigate this process. You’d rather have a representative of your own to advocate for you and find extra incentives, etc than to deal directly with the builder when it comes to new construction.
We know the community very well and can help you with a purchase at Oakmont or any of its surrounding communities if SW Gainesville is your vibe! Please reach out to us with any questions about purchasing, whether you are ready now or later, or even if you are not sure. Better to ask and learn from voices of experience.
That is why we are here.
