     The Sumerlin community is a new development by Beazer Homes.   It is located off of Bartram Park Blvd in the southeast corner of Mandarin.  This community consists of both large terrace homes and townhomes.  Construction was concluded in 2009.   The community has a distinctive Mediterranean motif. 

      The terrace homes are two story floor plans with two car garages and interior open-air patios.  Some floor plans also have an additional, large exterior patio.  Most floor plans have three bedrooms with a spacious loft or study area.  A typical terrace home has 2.5 baths, although a few floor plans have 3 full baths.   Walk-in closets, well equipped kitchens accent these homes.   The size of the terrace homes vary from approximately 1,940 to 2,145 sq ft.  There is plenty of parking is available for terrace home owners.  In addition to the two car garage, there is a wide driveway and visitor parking along the streets. The exterior of the terrace homes have a stucco finish painted in soft pastel colors.  

      Smaller townhomes are also available in the Sumerlin community.  Most Sumerlin townhomes have a two story plan with 2 bedrooms and 3 baths.  The approximate size of most of these townhomes is 1,360 sq ft.  In the back of each townhome is  patio area.  Many of the patios open to either a pond or a wooded area.  The townhomes have two reserved parking spaces per unit.  Visitor parking is also available.

     The Sumerlin community has a recreation area that includes a well-equipped gym and a pool.  Mailboxes are located near the recreation area.  The front gate is secure to facilitate security of the community.  The recreation area at Sumerlin is shared with the Emerald Preserve community (another Beazer development located across the street from Sumerlin).
