It won't be long before residents of Bella Vida, a gated community by D.R. Horton in Cape Coral, have an exciting hub for recreation and social gatherings. Construction on The Bella Club, one of two planned amenity centers in the community, is nearly complete and should be open at the end of November.

The Bella Club's architectural design is contemporary Mediterranean, perfect for the South Florida lifestyle. Interior spaces are planned to be welcoming and usable for a broad range of residents and will encompass a fitness center, kid's party room, billiards room, multi-purpose gathering room, heated resort-style pool, children's pool, shade pavilion and a large sunning deck. With a lakeside location and surrounding nature preserves, The Bella Club will be an oasis.

A second planned recreational center called Mira Vista Park will be surrounded by nature preserves and include a multipurpose sports field, softball field, basketball courts, volleyball courts, children's playground, picnic pavilion and a barbecue area.

If the recreational amenities seem appealing, wait until you see the amenities included in Bella Vida's large choice of single-family and townhome floor plans! With prices beginning in the mid $100's, it is an irresistible opportunity to purchase an affordable new home right now.

Choices include three spacious and luxurious townhome plans with air-conditioned square footage from 1,593 to 1,894 and one or two-car garages. Eleven different single-family home plans offer airconditioned square footage ranging from 1,383 to 3,054. With designs encompassing three, four or five bedrooms and up to three-and-one-half baths one is bound to fit your needs. All single-family homes at Bella Vida have a two-car garage.
