A lot more than houses on lots

Because your neighborhood is every bit as important as your house, we’ve put thoughtful planning into all 420 acres of Florence Gardens including amenities the likes of which you simply will not find in many other communities.

	The Pool at Midland Cove – is more than just a place for residents to swim. It’s an oasis nestled in the piney woods where they gather to savor the summer and to celebrate a neighborhood that feels like home. The pool and adjoining sunbathing deck are landscaped to blend into the native environment and enclosed by a custom-built fence that gracefully frames the view of the surrounding woodland preserve. A boardwalk connects the pool complex to Magnolia Hall and Blueberry Hill.
	By day, Magnolia Hall is home to our sales and management team. By night, it’s a gathering place for our residents and our Gulf Coast community. For booking information, please contact events@florencegardens.com or call 228.539.5039 x6.
	Butterfly Boardwalk is part of a continuous pathway system that meanders through the neighborhood. The extra-wide wood and concrete pathway allows residents to walk comfortably, at their own pace, from their homes to their favorite destinations.
	The Park at Whisper Garden is a fun place for the kids to swing, slide, climb or play catch. A pavilion and several picnic tables scattered among the shade trees offer relaxing places for you to reflect. And for some residents, it’s right outside the backyard gate.
	There are over 100 acres of green space, parks and woodland preserves tucked away throughout Florence Gardens because we believe in living “green.” Our wildflower corridors, butterfly-houses and bird-houses create beautiful scenery for our residents while giving wildlife a place to call home.
	Neighborhood kids have already found the newest place to play in Florence Gardens – Blueberry Hill. Tucked away in the woods next to Magnolia Hall, you’ll find kids running up the grassy ramp that spirals around the outside of the hill and – you guessed it – rolling down to the landing below.
	Lake Florence is a 27-acre natural lake that offers residents precious hours of fishing and canoeing. The pavilion atop the lake’s northern bluff and the gazebo at water’s edge – both wheelchair and stroller-friendly – are perfect places to enjoy spectacular views and breezes through the trees.
	The first commercial buildings in The Market District, which fronts O’Neal Road, will redefine convenience for Florence Gardens residents.
	Remember riding your bike to school? It’ll no longer be a thing of the past when grades K-7 of the highly acclaimed Westminster Academy open in our community. Design work for the Academy is well underway.
	Each evening, you’ll find residents of the Town Green District walking to the Post Office to collect mail and stopping en route to see what’s ripe at the Community Garden.
