There is something special about the feeling of a new beginning. A new home represents more than fresh paint and modern finishes, it reflects lifestyle, growth and the future we imagine for ourselves and our families. That sense of possibility is exactly what inspired this issue of Lake and Sumter Style.

This edition serves as our New Home Guide, created to help you explore what is happening now and what is coming next across Lake and Sumter counties. From thoughtfully planned communities to elevated design trends, this issue highlights the many ways homebuilding continues to evolve in our area. Whether you are building from the ground up, searching for a move in ready home or simply gathering inspiration, these pages are designed to inform and inspire.

We are proud to partner with the Lake Sumter Home Builders Association to bring you an expanded Parade of Homes Guide within this issue. This collaboration allows us to showcase the craftsmanship, creativity and vision of local builders who are shaping the residential landscape of our region. The Parade of Homes has long been a trusted resource for buyers and industry professionals alike and this guide makes it easier than ever to explore participating builders, communities and model homes.

At Style, our mission has always been to connect our community through meaningful local stories. This New Home Guide is not just about houses, it is about the people, partnerships and progress that make Lake and Sumter counties such desirable places to live. We hope this issue becomes a valuable resource as you navigate your next chapter, wherever that may lead.

As always, thank you for reading and for supporting local businesses and builders who continue to invest in the future of our community.

Until Next month, 

Kendra
